In Delhi, summer holidays will commence on May 11 and last until June 30, providing students with a full 50 days off. Uttar Pradesh follows closely, with schools closing from May 20 to June 15 for a total of 40 days.

Bihar’s break is shorter, spanning from June 1 to June 20, amounting to just 20 days. Meanwhile, Rajasthan has set its holiday period from May 17 through June 20, giving students 34 days off.

The situation is similar across other states as well. For instance, Haryana schools will close from June 1 to June 30, totaling 30 days. Chhattisgarh has announced vacations starting as early as April 20 and extending until June 15—an impressive 56 days.

Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have combined their breaks from April 24 to June 11, offering students 48 days of respite. Odisha’s holidays began on April 27, while West Bengal’s vacation period is currently ongoing with end dates yet to be finalized.

This shift in school schedules comes amid rising concerns about the impact of heatwaves on children’s health. As Renuka, a concerned parent, noted: “It has become difficult for parents to drop their children at Anganwadi schools and pick them up after half-day classes due to severe heatwaves.” Anganwadi teachers echoed these sentiments, stating that parents are reluctant to send their children due to fears of heat-related illnesses.

The decision reflects a growing awareness of the dangers posed by extreme weather conditions. Such measures aim not only to ensure safety but also highlight how climate factors increasingly influence educational policies.

As states finalize their plans for summer vacations, observers remain attentive to how these adjustments might affect educational outcomes and overall student well-being.
