As the month of October begins, the festive season is in full swing. Following the Gandhi Jayanti holiday, students and parents were wondering if schools would also be closed on Tuesday, October 6th. According to information received, no nationwide holiday has been declared for October 6th by the central government or the national calendar. Therefore, schools across most states, including Bihar, will remain open and classes will run as usual on this day.

According to the calendars of various states and education boards, no specific order has been issued for schools to remain closed on October 6th. States like Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh have not declared any state-level holiday for October 6th. All government and private schools in these states will open at their scheduled times.

In South Indian states such as Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, schools will also remain open on October 6th, although long Dussehra holidays are set to begin from October 10th. Schools in Telangana will be closed from October 10th to 22nd, and in Andhra Pradesh from October 10th to 21st. Similarly, in West Bengal, the main Durga Puja holidays will commence from mid-October, so normal classes will be held there on October 6th.

Several holidays are anticipated in October due to upcoming festivals. This year, the main festival of Vijayadashami (Dussehra) will be celebrated on October 20, 2026, on which day schools nationwide will observe a holiday. Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVS) have scheduled their autumn break between October 15th and October 24th.

Students and parents are advised that some schools or districts may declare local holidays based on local festivals or special orders from the district administration. To avoid any confusion, it is recommended to check official school notices or circulars. Parents should check messages on the school's official WhatsApp group, notice board, or mobile app before their children leave for school.
