However, the Cabinet has asked the department to �study further� if school timing could be changed. Currently, all the government and government-aided schools have two shifts � morning and noon.
Nath said the government has decided to bring an Ordinance to constitute a State level Higher Education Board in accordance with the directives of Ministry of Human Resource Development. �If the Board is not put in place, then HRD Ministry may curtail outlay under Rashtriya Ucchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA). That�s why the government wants to constitute a Board as early as possible�, he said.
