October 11, 2025 School Holiday Update: State-Wise Status Across India

While Saturday, October 11, 2025, is not officially recognized as a national public holiday in India, it is expected to be a non-working day for many schools across the country. The reason is that October 11 falls on the Second Saturday of the month, which is observed as a bank holiday nationwide.

Although schools are not legally required to follow bank holidays, many institutions, particularly private schools, often choose to remain closed. This Saturday also falls between Karwa Chauth (October 10) and the following Sunday, creating an extended weekend for students and staff in several regions. Parents and students are advised to confirm the schedule directly with their school administration or check local district circulars.
