COVID has drastically impacted our lives and ways of working. However with consistent efforts from Government on vaccination campaign for adults nearly 80-85% population has received atleast one dose of COVID shot. 

In Delhi, with Government efforts situation is very similar for adults and this has led to return of near normal livelihood in Delhi NCR and major cities across India

Not only that, with vaccination there has been consistent reduction in severity of disease, hospitalization rates and mortality amongst vaccinated.

However the situation is still far from over as most vulnerable populations in India, our children < 18 years and toddlers remain exposed to this deadly virus unlike western countries where the vaccination for not only adults but children (>12 years) has achieved critical mass and threshold for schools and colleges to open up.

There has been sufficient data on increase in infection and hospitalization rates amongst non-vaccinated children and adults that impacts society at large. Further COVID is associated with unpredictable long term serious complications amongst children 

For ensuring continuing education, CBSE has taken direction in providing guidance for conducting Class X and XII exams but considering non-vaccinated situation amongst our children in India unlike western countries and for the safety of our children, leads to hesitancy amongst parents and caregivers to openly accept this changing situation

Therefore, request concerned authorities to Execute either 1) ONLY ONLINE METHOD OF CONDUCTING CLASS X AND XII BOARD EXAMS or 2) PROVIDE HYBRID OPTION FOR ONLINE OR OFFLINE METHOD Basis PARENTS CONSENT

This can be achieved given the digital reach of our country and support scientific way of approaching the situation that involves our children. 

By submitting this petition, it helps to reiterate safety of our children while keeping their both  educational and healthy future in mind, as they are precious assets of our nation.
