With temperatures in Delhi rising, the Directorate of Education (DoE) has issued new safety measures for schools to combat heat-related issues. The directive includes the implementation of a 'water bell' system, which will ring every 45-60 minutes to remind students to drink water. Schools are required to limit outdoor assemblies and activities, moving them indoors or to shaded areas to minimize exposure to heat. The DoE also encourages schools to conduct brief awareness sessions about hydration and heat-related illnesses. A 'buddy system' is recommended to help students monitor each other's health. Parents are advised to dress their children in light cotton clothing and maintain hygiene practices to mitigate heat effects. Schools must communicate regularly with parents about weather updates and file an action taken report by May 2, 2026, to ensure adherence to these guidelines.
