Schools in Kerala, Rajasthan and Assam are expected to remain closed on Monday, September 21, due to regional holidays. Kerala observes Sree Narayana Guru Samadhi Day, marking the death anniversary of the social reformer. The Kerala General Education Department's calendar lists it as a holiday for schools and government offices. Rajasthan marks Ramdev Jayanti, Teja Dashmi and Khejarli Martyrs' Day. Assam celebrates Srimanta Sankardev Janmotsav, the birth anniversary of the saint. There is no nationwide holiday.

Parents and students should check with their individual schools for final confirmation, as institutional schedules or local notices may differ from state holiday calendars. Education loan EMI calculators are available online.
Sree Narayana Guru Samadhi Day, Ramdev Jayanti, and Srimanta Sankardev Janmotsav are annual state-specific holidays. The Kerala government’s 2026 calendar lists Sree Narayana Guru Samadhi Day as a public holiday for all educational institutions and government offices under the Kerala General Education Department. Rajasthan’s observance of Teja Dashmi and Khejarli Martyrs’ Day simultaneously on September 21 is unusual, Khejarli Martyrs’ Day commemorates 363 Bishnoi villagers killed in 1730 while protecting trees. Assam’s Srimanta Sankardev Janmotsav marks the birth of the 15th-16th century saint who shaped Assamese culture and the Ekasarana Dharma tradition. The next point to confirm is whether the Kerala government issues a separate order confirming the holiday for schools following the CBSE or ICSE boards.
