Uttar Pradesh Government Schools Implement Revised Schedule Amid Intense Heatwave
In response to the ongoing severe heatwave conditions, government schools across Uttar Pradesh will adopt a new operational schedule starting from Tuesday. An official order issued by the Director of Basic Education, Pratap Singh Baghel, mandates that all institutions under the UP Basic Education Council will function from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM.
Detailed Breakdown of the New School Timings
The revised timetable has been carefully structured to minimize student exposure to the peak afternoon heat while ensuring educational continuity. According to the directive, formal teaching activities will conclude at 12:30 PM. The remaining hour, from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM, will be dedicated to teachers completing administrative duties and addressing pending academic tasks.
Daily Routine and Student Welfare Measures
The school day will commence with morning assembly and yoga sessions scheduled from 7:30 AM to 7:40 AM. A crucial component of the new schedule involves the distribution of meals under the PM Poshan scheme, formerly known as the Mid-Day Meal program. This nutritional support will be provided to students between 10:00 AM and 10:15 AM each school day.
- School operational hours: 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM
- Teaching period concludes at 12:30 PM
- Morning assembly and yoga: 7:30 AM to 7:40 AM
- PM Poshan meal distribution: 10:00 AM to 10:15 AM

This proactive measure by the Uttar Pradesh education authorities aims to safeguard student health and well-being during the challenging weather conditions while maintaining academic standards and operational efficiency across government schools.
