Education departments of several Indian states have declared a one‑day school holiday on November 12, 2026, citing festive celebrations and weather considerations.
Several state education authorities issued a notice confirming that schools will remain closed on November 12, 2026. The directive applies to a range of states, though the exact list varies as each department released its own circular.
The holiday aligns with ongoing festive celebrations in many parts of the country, allowing students and staff to participate in cultural events without disrupting the academic calendar.
In addition to the festive rationale, officials highlighted prevailing weather conditions as a contributing factor, noting that certain regions are experiencing adverse weather that could affect safe travel to schools.
Parents have been advised to make necessary arrangements for childcare and to stay informed about any further updates from local education offices.
The one‑day break is expected to have minimal impact on the overall academic schedule, with schools resuming regular classes on the following day, November 13.
