"In the cabinet meeting held today, it has been decided to open all the schools of the state from August 02," the Education Minister's Facebook post, originally written in Hindi, reads.

However, it is not clear for which classes the state government has decided to reopen schools. Many other states have decided to reopen schools for higher classes only. Classes for others will continue online, the states have informed students.

Classroom teaching suffered a severe hit during COVID-19 pandemic. Schools have been closed since March 2020. In few states, schools had reopened earlier this year for a brief duration and had to be closed again due to surge in COVID-19 cases.

Many students have welcomed the decision of the Rajasthan government to reopen schools.
