JOIN USSchools reopen in districts after summer vacation
After summer vacation, schools across the State reopened on June 1. Though the schools had to be reopened officially on May 29, a majority of the students did not attend schools in Mandya district, in view of the Gram Panchayat polls. As it was followed by the weekend, the schools began functioning for the current academic year only from June 1.
While some were happy to return to school after a long gap, attired in their new uniforms, students of kindergarten and primary schools were seen crying and being pacified by their parents on day one.
