The Bihar Education Department has directed all private and government-aided schools to strictly implement the NCERT School Bag Policy 2020. Under the new rules, the total weight of a student's school bag must not exceed 10% of their body weight. Education Minister Mithlesh Tiwari stated that schools must install weighing machines on campus to monitor bag weight. Teachers will conduct surprise inspections of bags for classes 1 to 5 every three months. Schools are also required to create schedules that prevent students from carrying unnecessary books daily. https://www.punjabitribuneonline.com/news/nation/instructions-to-reduce-the-weight-of-school-bags/ #Creator program
