After schools, now colleges in Maharashtra are set to reopen from October 20, the state higher and technical education minister Uday Samant made the announcement on Wednesday.

Addressing a press conference, Samant said that students must be fully vaccinated to attend physical classes. “If not, colleges and universities should hold vaccination drives to encourage full vaccination," he said adding that even as state will give a set of SOPs, universities can design their own in consultation with local civic administration.
