Schools Closed: Complete Winter Holiday Schedule in Jammu and Kashmir (Winter Zone)
This holiday has been specifically announced for schools in the Winter Zone (hilly areas) of Jammu and Kashmir. The main reason for this is the continuous drop in temperature, dense fog, and heavy snowfall in the region, which can be harmful to the health of the children. The administration has released a different holiday schedule for different classes:

Pre-primary schools: November 26, 2025, to February 28, 2026.
Classes 1 to 8: December 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026.
Classes 9 to 12: December 11, 2025, to February 22, 2026.

Joy among parents and students
School children are very excited about this announcement of a long holiday. Parents are also relieved that their children won't have to go to school in the biting cold and dense fog. This decision is a significant step towards prioritizing the health and safety of the children. Other states may also announce school closures soon. In most states of North India, winter vacations usually begin around Christmas or New Year. However, due to the colder-than-usual weather caused by La Niña, the holidays might be extended.
