State-Wise School Holiday Information for 29 December 2025

Uttar Pradesh: Winter Break Continues in Most Districts

In Uttar Pradesh, many schools have been on winter vacation since late December. Several districts extended the winter break through the end of the month, meaning most government and private schools will remain closed on 29 December. In some areas, the vacation is scheduled until 31 December 2025, with classes likely to resume in early January. 

Some districts such as Meerut and others that earlier closed schools up to 29 December for younger classes due to cold wave and dense fog are expected to see reopening plans start after this date, though winter conditions remain severe. 

Bihar & Jharkhand: Holiday Extension Due to Severe Cold

Both Bihar and Jharkhand are observing continued closures in many districts due to intense cold wave conditions. Many schools especially in Patna, Saharsa, Nalanda, and other areas remain closed until 30 or 31 December, with higher classes either suspended or shifted to modified timings to reduce exposure to extreme cold.

Himachal Pradesh & Northern Hilly Regions: Winter & Snow Closures

In Himachal Pradesh, schools are observing extended winter breaks through 31 December due to heavy snowfall and cold wave travel risks. Mountainous areas and hill districts are especially affected, and closures are planned for safety. 

Rajasthan: Extended Winter Vacation for Most Schools

Rajasthan’s education calendar includes a winter vacation extending into early January 2026, meaning many schools will remain closed on 29 December. Morning and evening chill across regions has prompted extended break schedules. 

Delhi–NCR: Mixed Scenario: 

Most schools in Delhi, Noida, and Gurgaon have already closed earlier for winter break and administrative calendars, though no official statewide holiday is declared specifically for 29 December in calendars. Many institutions will not hold regular classes due to winter vacation schedules already in place. However, parents should check individual school calendars for exact resumption dates. 

Kerala, Tamil Nadu & Southern States: Regular Classes or Scheduled Breaks

In Kerala and Tamil Nadu, schools typically follow their own academic holiday calendars. As of the latest schedule, no official holiday is declared for 29 December 2025, and most schools are expected to continue regular operations unless private institutions opt for extended winter breaks or internal closures. 

In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, similar patterns persist, with no statewide holiday announced for 29 December and regular classes expected in most districts. 

Karnataka & Other Central/Eastern States: Working Day 

In Karnataka, West Bengal, Odisha, and other central/eastern states, 29 December is treated as a working day for most schools. These states do not list 29 December as a public or academic holiday, and classes are expected to proceed as per the regular timetable.

Key Notes for Students and Parents

• Winter Vacation Trends: December is the traditional winter break period in many states, often extending through Christmas, New Year’s Eve and beyond.

• Weather Impact: Cold wave, dense fog and low temperatures in northern states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar often prompt extended closures for safety. 

• Local Calendar Variations: Even where the state does not declare a holiday, individual schools (especially private institutions) may adjust their calendars for winter activities, events, or cultural functions. 

Always refer to official school notice boards or district education department announcements before planning travel or attendance.

For 29 December 2025, school closures vary widely by region. While many northern and hill states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan observe winter breaks and cold-wave closures, southern and central states mostly continue regular classes. The end of December marks the peak of winter holidays for many schools across India, so students and parents should consult local academic calendars to confirm specific dates of reopening.
