Timings of water bell

As per the scheme, the water bell will ring thrice a day. The first bell will ring at around 10:35 am, followed by the second bell at 12 noon and the third bell at 2 pm.

The water break will last for 15 to 20 minutes. Students will have to drink water when the bell rings.

The idea of a water bell has emerged because of the rise in diseases among the people due to less intake of water.
