She said: "Last year our curriculum had six days of classes...But we decided to reduce it to five days due to power crisis. As per our latest decision, classes will be held five days a week from this year."

The teachers as well as the students will get a break for two days because they also need rest. The new curriculum was approved keeping the fact in mind, she said.
