Key Notes:
Muharram (7 July 2025) is a significant Islamic observance. While not a festival, it is a solemn day of mourning, and schools in Muslim-majority regions or states with official holiday notification may remain closed.
Saturdays and Sundays (especially 2nd & 4th Saturdays) are routine holidays in most schools under CBSE, ICSE, and state boards.
Certain holidays like Bonalu or U Tirot Sing Day are state-specific, meaning school closures will depend on the regional calendar.
School events or awareness days such as World Population Day (11 July) or Kargil Vijay Diwas (26 July) are observed through activities, speeches, and exhibitions - but schools stay open.
Conclusion
July 2025 brings a mix of religious, cultural, and weekend breaks for school students across India. Parents and students are advised to refer to their respective school calendars and state government holiday notifications to confirm closures. With Muharram falling on a Monday (July 7), students may enjoy a long weekend, subject to official declaration.
