The Central University of Rajasthan announces that it will hold odd-semester classes in an online mode from July 15 to August 14. NDTV and the Times of India report that the decision is precautionary and linked to anticipated water-related concerns. The university cites rainfall uncertainty and weather expectations associated with El Niño conditions, which it says could lead to below-normal rainfall. Times of India adds that the temporary shift is also meant to conserve water resources while keeping teaching activities running without major disruption.

In its explanation, the university indicates that faculty members will continue their usual teaching schedule through online classes. NDTV also reports that the move is intended to support seamless academic operations and to promote responsible water use on campus during the period of concern. The announcement applies specifically to odd-semester classes, with the university stating that normal operations will be reviewed after the stated online period ends.
