Heavy rain is forecast across several Indian states on August 27, leading the Times of India to publish a state-wise list of schools that will remain closed.
The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a warning of widespread rainfall for August 27, affecting large parts of the country. In response, the Times of India compiled a state-wise checklist indicating which schools are expected to stay closed due to the adverse weather conditions.
Education authorities in each state have been instructed to assess local conditions and suspend classes where safety cannot be guaranteed. The published list reflects the decisions of state education departments, many of which have already ordered closures in districts experiencing heavy downpours or flooding risks.
Parents and guardians are urged to consult the Times of India’s online list or local government notifications before sending children to school on the day. Officials also advise schools to keep communication channels open and to arrange for alternative learning methods where possible, ensuring minimal disruption to the academic calendar.
