The Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education has issued an order cancelling the online classes for Class 09 to Class 12.

Earlier, Mr. Radheshyam Julaniya, Board's Chairperson, announced that the academic session will start from Monday for classes 09 to 12 via online mode. The classes were scheduled to be held via audio-visual lessons on Doordarshan from 07 am to 10 am.

But later, Mr. Anil Suchari, Board's Secretary, notified that the telecast has been cancelled and the classes will not be held.

Around 35 lakh students studying in class 09 to class 12 of the state board will be affected by the decision. Only 55.4 % urban and 9.7 % rural families have an internet connection, as per the survey held on household social consumption on education.
