Besides, to coordinate with other departments like police, TSRTC, electricity, medical and health, and revenue for the smooth conduct of the examinations.
It may be mentioned here that the Centre after reviewing the situation arising out of the possibility of the third wave of Covid-19, decided to cancel the class XII examinations. The Centre had taken the stand that the safety of children was more important than holding the examinations.
A final decision in this regard is likely to be taken after the board gets the instructions from the Chief Minister by June 7.
