Children’s Day 2025: Is November 14 a School Holiday?

Children’s Day, celebrated every year on November 14, marks the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, affectionately known as Chacha Nehru. While it is a day of joy and celebration for children, it is not an official public holiday in India.

Instead, schools organise special assemblies, competitions, and fun activities to honour the spirit of childhood. Students usually participate in poster-making, essay writing, fancy dress, and cultural programmes conducted by teachers.

So, while November 14 is not a school holiday nationwide, the day holds great significance and is celebrated in schools with enthusiasm.

Delhi-NCR: Schools Operating in Hybrid Mode Amid Severe Pollution

As the air quality in Delhi-NCR continues to deteriorate, authorities have enforced GRAP Stage III restrictions to curb pollution levels. The Air Quality Index (AQI) in many areas has reached the ‘severe’ category, prompting precautionary measures for school-going children.

An official order from the Directorate of Education (DoE) directed all government, aided, and private schools to conduct classes for students up to Class 5 in hybrid mode (online + offline) until further notice.

Key Details of the Hybrid Arrangement

• Mode: Hybrid (Online and Offline)
• Timings: As per the regular school timetable
• Transport: School buses operational for offline students
• Outdoor Activities: Suspended for safety reasons

As of now, schools in Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad are not closed completely, but physical classes are optional, and outdoor activities such as morning assemblies and sports have been cancelled due to the toxic air quality.
