An important decision has also been taken regarding coaching institutes. Now no coaching institute will be allowed to operate from 11 am to 4:30 pm. Coaching operators will be able to run classes only before 11 am and only after 4:30 pm. This order will be effective from 13 June to 16 June 2025 and it will be applicable to government and private, educational institutions.

Children’s health paramount

DM Tyagarajan in his order clarified that this decision has been taken keeping in mind the safety and health of children. In the afternoon, due to strong sunlight and excessive heat, children are at risk of health problems like heat stroke or heat stroke. Therefore, arrangements have been made to complete studies in the relatively cold time in the morning.
