July 24 Schools Holiday or not?

With continuous holidays for schools due to several reasons, students and parents are wondering if July 24 is also a school holiday or not as the rain spell continues. In some parts of the country, schools will be closed on July 24 due to various reasons, while in others, they'll operate as usual.
Tamil Nadu: Kanyakumari District
In Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, schools will remain closed on July 24, 2025, to observe Aadi Amavasai, a significant Hindu festival honoring ancestors. This decision has been made to allow students and staff to participate in the festivities and pay their respects to their ancestors. The district administration has announced a holiday for both government and private schools, ensuring that everyone can observe this important day.
Other Regions
In other parts of the country, the situation is different. Let's take a look at some of the regions:
- Kerala: Although a three-day state mourning was observed from July 22 to July 24 after the passing of veteran CPM leader V S Achuthanandan, there's no specific mention of school holidays on July 24. Schools in Kerala might operate as usual, but it's best to check with local authorities for confirmation.

- Maharashtra: While there's no official announcement for a July 24 holiday, heavy rainfall in districts like Nagpur, Gondia, Chandrapur, and Raigad might lead to school closures if the situation worsens. We'll have to wait and see how things develop.
