Festivals, weather warnings, and a national celebration are all coming together this week, and students across the country are wondering whether they’ll get a day off. If you’re in Delhi-NCR, here’s what you need to know.
Schools Shut for Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi
Several schools in Delhi-NCR will remain closed on 5 September 2025 to mark Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, an important occasion observed across India. Parents and students are advised to double-check with their schools to avoid last-minute confusion, as schedules may vary.
Eid-e-Milad will be observed on 5 and 6 September in many parts of the country, and schools will be shut in states including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala.
Onam Adds to the Festive Break in Kerala
In Kerala, the joy of Onam has already taken centre stage. The harvest festival, celebrated from 4 to 5 September, has brought with it statewide holidays, traditional feasts, and cultural events.
Teacher’s Day Celebrations
5 September is also Teacher’s Day, a special occasion celebrated nationwide. While most schools will be closed for Eid, some institutions may still hold brief morning functions or half-day programmes to honour teachers before closing their doors.
Weather-Related Closures Across States
It’s not just festivals keeping students home this week, weather has played its part too.
Punjab: The government has extended school holidays until 7 September for all institutions, from schools to universities, in view of recent weather conditions.
Himachal Pradesh: Heavy rain and widespread damage have forced the closure of all schools, colleges, and even training institutes until 7 September.
Haryana: Rain warnings from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) have led to school closures in Ambala (until 5 September) and Jhajjar (until 6 September), covering both government and private institutions, as well as Anganwadi centres.
Stay Updated, Stay Safe
With a mix of festival holidays and weather-related closures, it’s best for parents and students to follow local authority announcements and school notifications closely.
Whether it’s celebrating Eid, marking Teacher’s Day, or simply enjoying an unexpected rainy-day break, the week is certainly keeping students on their toes.
