October 10 School Holiday or not?
With the fluctuating climate all over India, several parents and students are curious to know whether or not schools will remain closed on Friday, October 10, 2025. Unlike past days when a few states declared holidays for schools because of heavy rain or administrative purposes, most schools tomorrow should be functioning as usual.
States Having School Holidays on October 10
West Bengal (Darjeeling Region):
Schools and colleges in Darjeeling and surrounding hills will remain shut on October 10. The school holiday has been extended by the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) to ensure the safety of the students after recent heavy rains and landslides. The schools here will reopen on Monday, October 13, 2025.
Karnataka:
Government and government-aided schools in Karnataka will declare a holiday tomorrow on account of the ongoing Social and Educational Survey (Caste Survey), which is ongoing till October 18. Private schools might choose to adopt the same holiday based on local instructions.
Jammu Division (Jammu & Kashmir):
Some locations in Jammu could experience school holidays if rain continues. The authorities are keeping a close watch on the situation, and any holiday extension will be announced through official means.
States Where Schools Will Remain Open
Schools in most regions of India will operate as per routine on October 10. Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, Odisha, and Haryana do not have any school holiday declared, hence educational centers within these states will run their regular routines.
Why Most Schools Remain Open
October 10 is not a national or state holiday, unlike other October dates when schools typically go on Diwali, Dussehra, or local holidays. Although some areas have school holidays related to the weather, most kids will report to school tomorrow as usual according to standard academic calendars.
