Schools across Odisha and Andhra Pradesh are slated to observe a holiday on September 24, according to the latest reports.
The education departments of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh have confirmed that schools will not be in session on September 24, marking a statewide holiday for students and staff. The announcement, circulated through official channels, indicates that the day will be observed as a non‑working day for all educational institutions in the two states.
Parents have been advised to keep children at home and make alternative arrangements for childcare on the holiday. Transport services that normally cater to school commuters are expected to run on a reduced schedule.
The holiday aligns with a broader calendar of state observances, though specific reasons for the date have not been detailed in the public notice. Schools are expected to resume regular classes on the following weekday.
Authorities have urged schools to update their websites and inform teachers, students, and parents promptly to avoid confusion.
Further clarification, if any, will be communicated by the respective state education ministries in the coming days.
