Uttar Pradesh schools will observe summer holidays from May 20 to June 15, totaling 40 days. In Bihar, the break will last from June 1 to June 20, offering students just 20 days.

Rajasthan has scheduled its summer holidays from May 17 to June 20, allowing for a span of 34 days. Meanwhile, Haryana schools will remain closed from June 1 to June 30, giving students a full month off.

Chhattisgarh has taken a more drastic approach, announcing vacations from April 20 to June 15—56 days in total. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana follow suit with holidays from April 24 to June 11, allowing for a combined break of 48 days.

Odisha’s summer holidays began on April 27, while West Bengal is already observing its break, with official end dates expected soon.

Parents express concern about the extreme temperatures. Renuka, a local parent, stated, “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 noted that many parents fear sending their children due to potential health risks.

The situation is compounded by upcoming election results—Puducherry schools will close for one day related to this event. Observers are closely monitoring how these early breaks impact children’s education and health during the intense heat.

As of early Tuesday, several states have declared summer holidays ahead of schedule due to extreme heat conditions. Temperatures in North India are expected to soar up to 45 degrees Celsius.

The Odisha government announced early summer vacations starting from April 27, 2026. Chhattisgarh has moved its summer holidays to begin on April 20, 2026.

Since 2022, at least ten states have advanced their summer holiday schedules. This trend reflects growing concerns over heatwave safety and the well-being of students.

Schools in Uttar Pradesh have adjusted their timings to run from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm. This change aims to protect children from the harsh midday sun.

Delhi has also initiated a ‘water bell’ program—designed to remind students about hydration practices during school hours.

Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra have shifted to early morning school shifts as a precaution against extreme temperatures.

Brian Seymour noted, “The weather has become unpredictable and is regularly changing.” He emphasized the need for schools to adapt effectively.

Neha Sharma commented, “Schools design elaborate curricula but often fail to manage them according to challenging weather conditions.” This highlights the need for flexibility in educational planning.

Nandita Sinha Roy added, “Advancing summer vacations doesn’t affect school calendars if the academic planner is well-prepared in advance.” She advocates for proactive measures in education management.

Observers expect more states may follow suit if heat conditions persist. The focus remains on ensuring student safety during extreme weather events.
