The Directorate of Education (DoE) has announced guidelines for implementing 10 ‘Bagless Days’ for students in classes 6 to 8 across Delhi. This aims to promote holistic education for adolescents beyond the traditional classroom setting. The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has developed these guidelines by the National Education Policy 2020. Their aim is to create an experiential, joyful, and stress-free learning environment for students at school.

A DoE notice reads, "Under these guidelines, students may visit historical monuments, cultural sites, craft canters, places of tourist interest and many more. They can meet artists and craftsmen, to broaden their understanding of different concepts and traditions, and help them appreciate the importance of preserving heritage."

The notice also states that activities should be thoughtfully selected to ensure optimal use of the resources available at the school. Bagless activities conducted during the Happiness Curriculum or on excursion visits may also be incorporated into these bagless days.

In July, the Union Ministry of Education issued similar guidelines for implementing bagless days for classes 6 to 8. Developed by the PSS Central Institute of Vocational Education (a unit of NCERT), these guidelines highlight the significance of learning through vocational experiences.
