BHU reopens for physical classes today, hostel allocation underway

After a gap of almost two years, the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) today reopened its campus for students. The students of the second year of all the courses and first year of many courses returned to attend offline classes.

Many of those who attended classes today, had only been to the campus only once or twice, were enthralled and excited as they physically interacted with teachers and chatted with classmates. They looked happy with the decision and arrangements for offline classes.

The process of hostel allotment is underway which is being done on double occupancy basis now. It is to be noted that classes for the final year and the PhD had already been started. Owing to the decline in COVID-19 cases, the decision to reopen the campus and begin the offline classes was taken. 

During a high-level meeting chaired by Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sudhir K. Jain, a decision on conducting offline classes in the university was announced. The meeting was attended by Directors of Institutes, Deans of Faculties and senior officers of the university. As per the decisions, all the classes of Institute of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Management Studies, and Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development are being conducted.

On February 9, BHU had reopened various institutes/faculties/departments/offices/units to work with full capacity. All teachers, officers and employees were asked to be 100 per cent present at their workplace on regular basis. Everyone was asked to follow strict COVID-friendly behavior.
