Joint Director of School Education Bharat Mehta issued strict directives for keeping mobile phones switched off in all private and government schools. The above directives were issued on Friday as per which teachers cannot carry mobile in classrooms; students are also required to follow the same rules failing which action will be taken by the respective educational organisation.

The directives apply to all government and private schools in Udaipur, Pratapgarh, Rajsamand, Banswara, Dungarpur, Chittorgarh and others. Teachers can no more talk or chat on the mobile while in class. The action was taken after the education department received reports of teachers using mobile phones in the classrooms.
