The Haryana government has announced several major decisions for government schools that will directly impact lakhs of students and teachers. While summer vacation has been declared in view of the severe heat, new rules are also being implemented to improve discipline and the learning environment in schools.

The most discussed move is the ban on mobile phones for teachers. The government believes this will improve the learning atmosphere and help students stay more focused on studies.

Summer Vacation from May 25 to June 30

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has announced summer vacation in Haryana schools from May 25 to June 30. The decision was taken keeping in mind the continuously rising temperatures and the health of children. Running schools during peak summer had become difficult for students, so the government declared holidays in time.

Shramdaan Made Compulsory in Schools

Accepting the suggestion of Mahipal Dhanda, the government has decided to make Shramdaan compulsory in the curriculum of government schools. The objective is to develop discipline, responsibility, and a sense of social participation among students. It is expected that children will not remain limited to books but will also better understand collective work and social values.

Strict Rules on Teachers' Mobile Phones

To strengthen the teaching system, the government has taken another major decision. Teachers will no longer be allowed to carry mobile phones into classrooms. As per the instructions, teachers' mobile phones will be deposited in the principal's office and mobile use will be completely banned during teaching hours. The government believes this will reduce distractions during classes and provide students with a better academic environment.

Special Focus on School Management Committees

The government has also issued strict instructions regarding School Management Committee meetings. Now, committee meetings will be held mandatorily every month. A new digital portal will be created where the agenda, decisions, and review reports of the meetings will be recorded. This is an attempt to increase transparency in school operations.

Officials Directed for Regular Inspections

The Chief Minister has instructed education department officials to regularly inspect schools. In addition, first-class officers at the district level have also been asked to visit schools from time to time, interact with students, and review arrangements. Their reports will be uploaded directly to the portal for better monitoring.

Sanitation and Security to Be Strengthened

The government has also made it clear that schools with vacant posts of sanitation workers, watchmen, or other essential staff will soon see appointments or arrangements. The aim is to strengthen cleanliness and security in schools so that children get a better environment.

Increased Aid for Primary Schools

The government has also significantly increased the amount given for maintenance and essential facilities of primary schools. The amount has now been raised from ₹36 to ₹100. This is expected to help improve basic facilities in schools.
