Schools in several Indian states are slated to observe a holiday on October 20 as part of the Dussehra (Vijayadashami) festivities.
Each state determines its own academic calendar, so closure dates differ; education authorities in Delhi‑NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and other regions have issued provisional schedules and urge parents to check local notices.
Students and families should consult state education department websites or school circulars for the final holiday list and any related exam timetable adjustments.
