Bengal reopens most educational institutions; ‘neighbourhood schools’ up next
Schools, colleges and universities in West Bengal reopened on Thursday as Covid-19 cases declined in the past few weeks. Schools have been allowed to reopen for students in grades 8 to 12.
The state government also plans to open “neighborhood schools” for pre-primary and primary school students from Monday.
Schools in Bangladesh were first closed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They reopened in February 2021 for students in classes 9 to 12, but had to close again in April 2021 due to parliamentary elections and a second wave of Covid-19. Schools for students in grades 9 to 12 reopened in November but closed on January 3 for a third surge.
Educational institutions will reopen from February 3, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced on Monday.
The daily number of Covid-19 cases has fallen from about 24,000 a day in mid-January to less than 3,000 this week. The government announced a number of easing policies this month. Direct flights from the UK are allowed along with direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi. Governments, private offices, restaurants, cinemas, bars, etc. have been allowed to work at 75% capacity.
Education Minister Bratya Basu announced last month that the government would launch “neighborhood schools” to reintroduce pre-school and primary pupils into the school system after nearly two years of open-air courses.
More than 6 million students will benefit thanks to “neighborhood schools,” an official said. “Students in pre-primary and primary classes have been in school for almost two years. Although online classes have been going on, it has had a detrimental effect on the children. So this project has been launched and teachers will be in their communities for 5- to 9-year-olds Students set up courses,” Basu said.

Ratan Tata, who ran Tata Sons for more than 20 years as chairman, died at a Mumbai hospital.
Ratan Tata, the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, has died, the group announced in a statement on Wednesday. He was 86. Ratan Tata, who ran the conglomerate for more than 20 years as chairman, had been undergoing intensive care in a Mumbai hospital since Monday.
“It is with a profound sense of loss that we bid farewell to Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, a truly uncommon leader whose immeasurable contributions have shaped not only the Tata Group but also the very fabric of our nation,” said N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, in a late night statement.
On Monday, the industrialist had in a social media post dismissed speculation surrounding his health and had said he was undergoing routine medical investigations due to his age.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Ratan Tata, calling him a visionary business leader, compassionate soul, extraordinary human being.
“Ratan Tata endeared himself to people, thanks to his humility, kindness, unwavering commitment to making society better,” PM Modi said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
After graduating with a degree in architecture at Cornell University, he returned to India and in 1962 began working for the group his great-grandfather had founded nearly a century earlier.
He worked in several Tata companies, including Telco, now Tata Motors Ltd, as well as Tata Steel Ltd, later making his mark by erasing losses and increasing market share at group unit National Radio & Electronics Company.
In 1991, he took the helm of the conglomerate when his uncle J.R.D. Tata stepped down – the passing of the baton coming just as India embarked on radical reforms that opened up its economy to the world and ushered in an era of high growth.
Under Tata’s leadership, the group launched the Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car, and expanded its software services arm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), into a global IT leader.
Tata stepped down as chairman in 2012 but was later named chairman emeritus of Tata Sons and other group companies, including Tata Motors and Tata Steel. He briefly returned as interim chairman in 2016 during a leadership dispute.
