Many states across India including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and West Bengal have declared school holidays. The closures are due to a combination of heavy rains and festive breaks in different regions.
Reasons for the Holiday
- Rains and Weather: Several regions have faced heavy rainfall and flooding, leading authorities to close schools to ensure student safety.
- Festive / Cultural Observances: The timing also coincides with festivals like Dasara / Dussehra / Bathukamma, which bring extended school holidays in parts of South India, particularly Telangana.
Telangana Specifics
- In Telangana, schools are closed for the Dasara holiday period from 21 September through 3 October 2025.
- This means that 26 September falls within a pre-planned academic break rather than being declared as a sudden holiday.
What This Means for Students & Parents
- Students in the affected states will not have regular classes on 26 September, giving them time for both celebrations and weather relief.
- Parents and schools should stay alert for any updates, especially in districts where heavy rainfall could disrupt transport or safety.
- Schools in states not mentioned should confirm with local education departments for clarity.
