Karnataka School Reopening: With the commencement of the academic year 2022-23, Karnataka schools have reopened to a cheerful atmosphere after the conclusion of the 35-day summer vacation. For the last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic followed by subsequent lockdowns disrupted the academic calendar as well as offline classes. To finally welcome students back to school, elaborate arrangements were made by the Karnataka education department and government school authorities. The arrangements included chorus anthems and songs returned to the school premises.
