A panel comprising representatives of faculties, non-teaching staff, and students is being set up to deliberate on the issue and recommend possible steps so that physical classes can be held adhering to Covid guidelines when the state government will give its nod to resume on-campus activities, he said. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had earlier this month said her government was weighing options for reopening schools and colleges on alternate days after the Durga Puja vacation. Jadavpur University Teachers' Association General Secretary Partha Pratim Roy said a similar committee was formed last year and wondered over the need for constituting another panel.
