Schools will remain closed on Monday, July 27, as the Indian Meteorological Department forecasts heavy rainfall across the country.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall alert for most parts of India, prompting the Ministry of Education to keep schools closed on Monday, July 27.
The alert indicates expected rainfall of 50–100 mm in several states, and the decision aims to safeguard students and prevent travel disruptions.
Parents and teachers have been advised to stay home and monitor local weather updates. The Ministry has urged schools to remain closed until the weather improves.
This closure follows a similar decision last week when a cyclone warning led to school suspensions. The IMD will continue to monitor conditions and issue further advisories.
Students are encouraged to use the break for rest and online learning, while authorities will resume classes once the weather clears.
