School Holidays in October 2025: October 2025 is going to be a very special month for schoolchildren. This month is filled with major festivals and special occasions. Schools will be closed for several days due to festivals like Gandhi Jayanti, Dussehra, Diwali, Govardhan Puja, and Bhai Dooj. Sunday and Saturday holidays will also be added, giving students plenty of time to relax and enjoy the festivals.

Like every year, October is full of festivals this year. But the special thing is that many festivals are coming together. For example, Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra fall on the same day on October 2nd. In such a situation, this day will be an opportunity for a double celebration for children.

Sundays and Saturdays in October

This year, there are four Sundays in October – 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th. Schools that have holidays on the second and fourth Saturdays will also have holidays on October 11th and 25th. This means that children will have ample time to relax and celebrate the festivals each week.

October 2 – Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra

This year, Diwali falls on Monday, October 20th. This will be preceded by a Sunday holiday on October 19th, followed by a Diwali holiday the following day.

The third week of October will be a special one for children. Holidays begin on Sunday, October 19th, followed by Diwali on the 20th, Govardhan Puja on the 22nd, and Bhai Dooj on the 23rd.
