After the long weekend following the Gandhi Jayanti holiday, schools will remain open on Monday, October 5, 2026. There is no nationwide school holiday announced for October 5.
School closures will depend on state-wise academic calendars, local government orders and individual school schedules. Gandhi Jayanti was observed on October 2, while Dussehra/Vijayadashami falls later in the month on October 20. Several states have also scheduled longer festive or autumn breaks during October.
