School holiday tomorrow, October 23, 2026: Students and parents across India are checking whether schools will remain closed on Friday amid festive vacations, post-Dussehra reopening schedules and heavy rainfall in parts of southern India. However, October 23 is not a nationwide school holiday, and the status varies by state, district and individual school.
While schools in West Bengal are expected to continue their Durga Puja vacation, Maharashtra's main Diwali break is scheduled to begin in November. In Tamil Nadu, authorities may announce district-specific closures depending on rainfall and local conditions. Meanwhile, schools in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka are expected to follow their respective autumn vacation and reopening schedules.
