To support the overall well-being of students, the Bihar Education Department has directed schools across the state to comply with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) guidelines about decreasing the weight of students’ school bags. Based on the School Bag Policy 2020, the weight of a student’s school bag should not exceed 10% of the student’s body weight. The education department has ordered government-aided and private schools across Bihar to implement this rule to ensure that school bags remain light in weight and students are healthy. Schools will also be required to weigh students’ bags regularly to ensure the weight of bags does not surpass the determined limit.
