From now, the students of classes 1 and 2 do not have to do homework, as per the directives issued by the Human Resources Development (HRD) ministry to states and union territories today. The directives also mentioned about the prescribed weight limit of school bags for each class. According to the official order, the HRD ministry has “instructed all the states and Union Territories to formulate guidelines to regulate the teaching of subjects and weight of school bags in accordance with the Government of India instructions”.

Students should not be asked to bring additional books, extra materials and the weight of a school bag should not exceed the prescribed limit, the order added. The weight of school bags for students of classes I and II should not exceed 1.5 kg, while the school bag of students of class III to V should weigh between 2 kg to 3 kg, reported by PTI.
