July 23, 2025 School Shutdown: Authorities Confirm Closures in THESE Urban Areas and Regions
With the approach of July 2025, several states across India are announcing school closures due to various religious events and festivals, as well as student protests. Here's a breakdown of the confirmed closures and expected shutdowns across the country.
In Uttar Pradesh, schools in Noida (Classes 1-12) will be closed on July 23 due to the Kanwar Yatra, with online classes permitted on July 21 and 22, and physical classes resuming on July 24. Schools in districts such as Hapur, Badaun, Bareilly, and Saharanpur have been ordered to remain closed from July 16 to July 23. Ghaziabad schools will be closed for Sawan Shivratri, with an option for online classes, and Meerut and Muzaffarnagar schools will remain shut until July 23, with strict enforcement measures for non-compliance.
In Madhya Pradesh, a holiday has been confirmed in Ujjain due to the high pilgrim turnout at the Mahakaleshwar temple. However, no official announcements have been made regarding school closures for Sawan Shivratri or the Kanwar Yatra in Punjab.
In Uttarakhand, schools in Haridwar will remain shut on July 23 due to the massive footfall for the Kanwar Yatra.
In Tamil Nadu, a local holiday has been granted for the Thiruvathirai festival on July 23 in Ariyalur district.
In Kerala, schools and government offices observed a public holiday on July 22 as part of a three-day mourning period for V. S. Achuthanandan.
However, it's important to note that in Telangana, while there is no official government-declared school holiday on July 23, 2025, many schools and colleges are closed or may remain closed due to a statewide bandh called by left-wing student unions. This bandh aims to press the government to address demands such as the release of scholarships, improvement of infrastructure, filling of vacant posts, and restoration of bus pass subsidies. Due to the bandh and concerns over disruptions and student safety, many institutions anticipate closure. Parents and students are advised to stay in touch with their schools for updates, as the holiday is unofficial and varies by institution.
It is essential for students, parents, and educators to stay updated with local authority announcements for accurate information regarding school closures. Official notifications should be referred to for confirmation, as holiday declarations may vary across regions.
