June 18 Schools Holiday or not?

As the torrential rains continue to impact various regions of India, especially Kerala and Karnataka, several students as well as parents are inquiring whether or not June 18 will be declared a school holiday. Let's dissect the latest happenings and information presented.

Kerala and Karnataka School Holidays

Because of the persistent rain, many districts in Kerala and Karnataka have announced school holidays. In Kerala, Malappuram, Kannur, Kasaragod, Wayanad, and Thrissur districts have already announced holidays on June 16 and 17, and in case the rain continues, there are strong possibility that June 18 may also be a holiday in these regions. Likewise, in Karnataka, Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts have announced school holidays on June 16, and June 17 could also be a holiday based on the weather conditions.

Udupi and Uttara Kannada School Holidays

The district authorities in Udupi have announced a holiday for schools, pre-university colleges, and industrial training institutes on June 17 because of heavy rain. Degree colleges will function as usual. In Uttara Kannada, primary and high schools in eight rain-hit taluks have been declared closed on June 18.
