District Collectors have declared a holiday for all government and private schools and colleges in Telangana’s Adilabad and Kumuram Bheem Asifabad districts on Monday, 26 October, to mark the death anniversary of Adivasi leader Komaram Bheem.

Residential schools are exempted from the holiday and will function normally. Educational institutions that take the day off must work on 14 November to compensate for the lost working day.
Students from other Telangana districts do not get this holiday. Parents and students of residential schools are advised to check with their local managements for specific updates.
The holiday applies to only two districts that are historically linked to Komaram Bheem, leaving schools elsewhere in Telangana unaffected. The requirement to make up the lost day on 14 November means the closure does not reduce total teaching days. Residential schools, often serving tribal students, continue regular operations, which may create confusion for families who assume all institutions are closed. The order does not address whether exams or scheduled tests will be rescheduled.
