School Winter Vacation: Severe cold in December… Know when school holidays begin, state-wise updates..

Half of November has passed, and December is about to arrive. With the onset of December, the effects of cold weather begin to intensify in North India. Temperatures are steadily dropping in many states, with morning and evening fog, plummeting temperatures, and biting winds making it difficult for children to attend school. Consequently, preparations for winter vacation have begun in many states. Let's find out when schools will be closed in these states and the latest updates.

Preparations for Holidays as Winter Intensifies in States
From Delhi to Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan, various state education departments are deciding holiday dates based on weather conditions. In particular, Rajasthan has officially announced school holidays.

Winter Vacation in Rajasthan from December 25th
This year, winter vacation in Rajasthan will begin from December 25th, 2025, to January 5th, 2026. This holiday will apply to all government and private schools. The holiday dates have been determined according to the Shivira Panchang 2025-26. The state experiences a significant increase in cold weather in the last week of December, so this holiday has been declared, keeping children's safety in mind.

What is the situation in other states?
The education departments in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh may also announce winter vacations soon, based on weather reports. School holidays in these states typically begin in the last week of December or early January. Although many states have not yet officially announced dates, it is expected that a notice may be issued soon as the cold increases.

Considering the increasing impact of the cold and the health of children, state education departments may extend the holidays slightly this time. Morning classes are challenging for children due to fog and low temperatures, so preparations for the holidays have already begun in most states.
