Amid this year of online schooling, the Independence Day celebration will also be online on August 15. Special guidelines have been issued for schools to ensure that no institute skips the celebration.

Schools have been advised to hold flag-hoisting on campus with just staff, with social distancing norms. Students are advised to join online later. Patriotic songs will be sung along with speech videos related to the Independence movement. Schools have also been advised to hold different activities digitally such as patriotic poetry and debate competitions, etc. and to create awareness about Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
