The first week of September 2025 is a mix of unexpected rain holidays and planned festival breaks for students. Some states have closed schools due to heavy monsoon rains and floods. At the same time, many students are also enjoying holidays for festivals like Onam, Id-e-Milad and Teacher's Day. This means students should always check for updates from their local school or government.
