All schools in Delhi-NCR have now shifted to online mode due to hazardous air pollution levels. This move came into effect after the Supreme Court order. Read more about it here. Schools in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Meerut were forced to close due to the worsening air quality, and classes are now being conducted virtually. All classes up to Class 12 will be closed until November 23 under the standards. Next week's weather and pollution levels will determine whether or not schools are reopened. With effect from November 19, classes at universities such as Jawaharlal Nehru University and Delhi University have also been suspended. Schools in Noida and Ghaziabad continue online classes due to hazardous air pollution, while Gurgaon and other NCR districts consider reopening following a Supreme Court directive. The court urged reevaluating school closures, citing challenges students face with online learning and mid-day meals, but maintained GRAP-4 restrictions pending consistent AQI improvement. The air quality in Noida, adjacent to Delhi, has deteriorated to such an extent that it has become difficult for residents to breathe. In response, the district administration has ordered the closure of all schools. According to the guidelines, all grades up to Class 12 will remain closed until November 23. However, online classes will continue during this period. Decisions regarding reopening will be made based on future conditions.
