School Holidays in July 2025: Check the Full List of Dates When Schools Will Be Closed in India

As students return to school after the summer holidays, July 2025 marks the beginning of the new academic session in many parts of India. The month is expected to have a regular schedule for most schools, with a few important holidays observed depending on national or regional significance.

One of the key holidays in July 2025 is Muharram, which marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year. It is a gazetted holiday and is generally observed across many schools in India. In 2025, Muharram is likely to fall on Sunday, 6 July, but the final date will be confirmed based on the sighting of the moon. If the moon is not visible on the evening of 5 July, the holiday may be observed on Monday, 7 July. Parents and students are advised to check with their schools for final confirmation.

Apart from Muharram, Rath Yatra, celebrated on 7 July 2025, may also be declared a school holiday in states where the festival is observed, such as Odisha.

All Sundays, 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th July, will be regular non-working days for schools across the country.

The Kanwar Yatra, which attracts large gatherings and processions in northern states, may also lead to school closures in areas like Noida, Ghaziabad, and Haridwar, though no official holiday has been declared as of now. Final decisions will be made closer to the date depending on local administration guidelines.
