School students and teachers across Chhattisgarh have received an extended festive break ahead of the upcoming festival season. The state School Education Department has officially lengthened the Diwali holidays by an additional day, ensuring that educational institutions will remain shut for six consecutive days.
Revised Holiday Schedule from November 6 to 11
Under the revised directive issued by the School Education Department, schools across the state will now observe holidays starting November 6, 2026, through November 11, 2026. The initial academic calendar had allocated a five-day break spanning from November 6 to November 10. Following administrative review, the holiday schedule was extended by one day up to November 11.
Extra Travel and Celebration Time for Families
This revision directly benefits students, teaching faculties, and school staff members preparing for festive commitments. The addition of an extra holiday provides families greater flexibility to visit relatives, celebrate the festival, and return comfortably without rushing back to classrooms. Normal academic routines and school operations across Chhattisgarh will resume once the six-day vacation concludes.
