How to Check for School Holidays Locally?
-
Check for the official notification. Look for the most recent PDF from the Education Department of your state to confirm the school-related holidays.
-
Always check your school WhatsApp groups. Official school groups are used to announce the majority of administrative closures shared by local weather conditions or exam center responsibilities.
-
Another source is local news. Check your local news sources for your district in case of unexpected weather changes or local strikes (bandh).
