As students eagerly look forward to a possible school holiday on August 8, there is currently no nationwide announcement confirming a closure of schools across India. Authorities have clarified that any decision regarding holidays will depend on local conditions and official orders. Recent updates suggest that the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for heavy to very heavy rainfall in several states, including parts of Delhi-NCR, Kerala, and Odisha. This has raised concerns among parents and students about potential disruptions to school schedules.However, officials have emphasized that school closures are not decided at the national level. Instead, state governments and district administrations take the final call based on ground conditions such as waterlogging, traffic disruption, or safety risks.
