Uday Samant informed that a decision will be taken in the cabinet today to start colleges along with schools. Uday Samant said the district collector would be given the power to take a decision on starting the college after reviewing the covid situation. Corona virus infection is still ongoing.

Each District Collector will be empowered to take a decision regarding the commencement of the college at the local level based on the situation in Corona. We are sending such a proposal to the Chief Minister. This decision will be taken only after his order, said Uday Samant.
