The academic calendar in Chhattisgarh is meticulously designed to provide students and educators with a balanced and enriching school year. These breaks, mandated by the Department of School Education, Government of Chhattisgarh, are strategically scheduled to integrate the state’s rigorous academic standards with its vibrant cultural tapestry and seasonal transitions. For parents, students, and teachers, staying informed about the official holiday list is vital for synchronizing academic preparation with family milestones and community celebrations.
This guide details the official Chhattisgarh School Holiday List for the 2026 academic year, highlighting essential closures such as national holidays, term breaks, and the state’s unique regional festivals like Hareli, Teeja, and Chherchera. From the extensive summer vacation to the festive breaks for Dussehra and Deepavali, this resource serves as a comprehensive roadmap for the year. While these dates are applicable to all government and government-aided schools, students in private or CBSE-affiliated institutions should consult their respective school calendars for specific local or discretionary variations.
