Schools in Delhi, Noida and Gurugram will remain closed on Monday, August 26, for Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi. Several other states are also observing a holiday for the festival, while some have shut schools due to heavy monsoon rainfall.
Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and parts of the Northeast have closed schools because of heavy rain. The holiday on August 26 applies to both government and many private schools in the affected regions.
Students and parents are advised to check with their respective schools for any last-minute changes. Normal school schedules are expected to resume from Tuesday, August 27.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, is a public holiday in many Indian states. The decision to close schools rests with state governments, which declare gazetted holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act. In Delhi, the holiday applies to all schools following the Delhi government calendar. For private schools, closures can vary. Monsoon-related closures in Odisha and the Northeast are decided by district administrations based on rainfall warnings from the India Meteorological Department. Parents in affected areas should check local announcements for updates.
