School Holiday on 10th October 2025 (Friday): Schools Closed in THESE States Due to Rains & Regional Festivals

School Holiday 10th October, 2025: Schools in a number of Indian states are taking brief breaks as the joyous month of October continues because of regional celebrations, prolonged Dasara holidays, and regional weather disruptions. In Karnataka, Haryana, Noida, and portions of West Bengal, schools are anticipated to stay closed on Friday, October 10, 2025. The celebration coincides with the ongoing Dasara and Durga Puja vacations in the southern and eastern parts of India, as well as Karwa Chauth, a significant festival celebrated throughout North India.

There will be a regional holiday for Karwa Chauth in Haryana and Noida, while Karnataka schools continue their extended Dasara vacation. Some districts in West Bengal are closed because of landslide warnings and excessive rainfall.

School Holiday Status: 10 October 2025

Several states will close their schools on October 10, 2025, for a combination of weather-related cancellations and holiday celebrations. Because Karnataka has extended Dasara holidays, it will be off. Rain and landslides have caused schools in West Bengal, particularly Darjeeling, to remain closed for three days. Karwa Chauth is a regional holiday in Haryana, and schools in Noida and the National Capital Region are probably going to observe it as well. Unless local authorities declare otherwise, schools are expected to operate on their regular schedule in states where there is no official observance or weather impact.

In order to find out if their school is affected by the vacation, parents and students in the impacted areas should keep up with state and district announcements as well as school policies.
