Coaching institutes in Kota are all set to reopen from September 1 following the Rajasthan government’s nod for reopening of schools in the state. However, the coaching centres have announced several safety measures to prevent the spread of corona virus among the students, the owners of the institutes said.
At the hostels and messes, biometric attendance will be replaced with registers which will have a column for categorising students with influenza-like illness (ILI) and they will be advised on regular medical care and monitored by medical teams, they said.
The city has around 35-40 major coaching institutes. Around 3,000 hostels and as many messes/eateries offer room accommodation and food to these students, propelling the local economy, which was hit hard by the Covid pandemic.
The institutes said they have ensured that vaccination and complete compliance of Covid protocol takes the top priority and therefore, almost the entire staff, faculties, and students above 18 years have been inoculated at most of the coaching centres of the city.
