November School Holidays List in India for 2023-24: Have you checked the upcoming school holidays for November? With Diwali, Durga Puja on the way, students can't contain their excitement about the festivities and the school holidays. Holidays are never enough! In this article, we have curated and compiled together the holiday schedule for the academic year 2023-24 for schools across India. Alongside, you will also find all updates related to school holidays due to heavy rain, bad weather, festivities, etc.
Each school in India operates either under the state education board or other education boards such as CBSE, ICSE, etc. While school students desperately await summer vacations and winter vacations each year, there are also several holidays which fall throughout the year. All schools in India observe the national holidays. Additionally, there are also other common holidays observed in schools as directed by the Central government. Meanwhile, there are some holidays which are state-specific based on the geographical or cultural importance of the event. For example, Ganesh Chaturthi is not a common school holiday in North India and Kannada Rajyotsava is a holiday only in the state of Karnataka.
