NCERT Revised Activities Calendar for CBSE

The NCERT revised academic calendar for classes 1 to 12 will enable students to learn standardised and quality curriculum for the home itself. In its initial stage, the calendar is for four weeks and may be extended further, depending upon the situation. All schools have been shut due to a nationwide lockdown to stop the further spread of COVID-19.
