Students of Simultala Residential School in Jamui will enjoy a continuous 34-day holiday period, extending from Durga Puja to Chhath. The Bihar Education Department has formally approved this extensive break, resolving previous uncertainties regarding the holiday schedule. This decision was based on a proposal made during the 30th meeting of the school's management committee.

When students were initially granted Puja holidays on October 16, the exact duration was unclear. Now, according to an official letter issued by the Director of Secondary Education-cum-Member Secretary, Simultala Education Society, 7 days of winter vacation and 12 days designated for various festivals and birth anniversaries of great personalities, totaling 19 days, have been converted into academic activity. These 19 days have been combined with the regular 15-day holiday period between Durga Puja and Chhath, providing students with a cumulative 34-day break.

This unique adjustment is particularly significant for Simultala Residential School, a prestigious institution that attracts students from remote parts of the country and state. Frequent travel home is not practical for them. This single, long holiday allows students to celebrate the entire festive season with their families in peace. The official confirmation has brought joy to the school staff, parents, and children.
