Haryana Extends Winter Break for Students Amidst Cold Wave

Haryana Extends Winter Break for Students Amidst Cold Wave

Gurugram, January 24, 2024: The Haryana state government has announced a further extension of winter break for students from classes 1 to 5. Initially scheduled to end on January 23, 2024, the holidays will now continue until January 27, 2024, due to the ongoing cold wave gripping the state.

Key Points:

• Affected Grades: The extension applies to students in grades 1 to 5, impacting both government and private schools.
• Reason for Closure: Intense cold weather conditions and concerns for student safety necessitated the extended break.
• Staff Attendance: While students enjoy the extended break, teaching and non-teaching staff are required to report to school as usual.
• Previous Reopening: Schools had briefly reopened on January 23 after a 22-day winter break, but the cold wave prompted the renewed closure.
