Bihar schools closed Nov 7 to 17, Maharashtra Nov 2 to 14 for Diwali
The Story in Brief
Schools in Bihar will remain closed from November 7 to 17 for Diwali, Bhai Dooj, and Chhath Puja, according to the state's holiday calendar. Jharkhand schools have holidays on November 9 for Govardhan Puja, November 11 for Bhaiya Dooj or Chitragupta Puja, and November 16 to 17 for Chhath Puja. Uttar Pradesh observes a holiday on November 9 for Govardhan Puja and November 11 for Bhai Dooj.
In Maharashtra, the state school education department has approved a 13-day mid-term Diwali vacation from November 2 to 14. Diwali falls on Sunday, November 8, and Guru Nanak Jayanti on Tuesday, November 24, both listed as gazetted holidays. Students are advised to confirm dates with their respective school administrations.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage is uniform, straight reporting of state-level holiday calendars. Both sources factually list dates for Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra, with no discernible slant toward or against any government. The Daily Jagran front-loads Bihar's 11-day break, Jagran Josh foregrounds Maharashtra's 13-day vacation and the national gazetted list. Neither source evaluates the decisions or omits competing details. The story is a simple service announcement: dates differ by state, and students must confirm with their school. The only concrete next step for readers is to check their respective state education department's official holiday calendar.
