No nationwide school holiday on October 5, most states open
Schools across India will generally remain open on Monday, October 5, with no nationwide holiday declared after the Gandhi Jayanti weekend. Most states, including Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, expect normal functioning, as per Jagran Josh, The Sunday Guardian and Sakshi Education. Tamil Nadu is the only exception: schools there reopen on October 5 after the quarterly examination break (September 26 to October 4).
Major festive breaks are scheduled later in October. Telangana's Dasara vacation runs from October 10 to October 22, Andhra Pradesh's from October 10 to October 21. West Bengal's Durga Puja holidays start around October 15 to 17, and Tamil Nadu observes Ayudha Pooja on October 19 and Vijayadashami on October 20. Students and parents are advised to check their individual school calendars or state education department notifications for any local variations.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The three sources agree that October 5 is not a nationwide school holiday and that most states will hold regular classes. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant: each outlet lists the same state-wise statuses, highlights Tamil Nadu's reopening, and notes upcoming festive breaks later in October. No source questions official schedules or adds political or editorial commentary. The key takeaway for readers is that the only state with a confirmed schedule change on October 5 is Tamil Nadu, and that all major holiday periods begin after October 10, varying by state and festival.
