Dates of summer vacation according to states
In northern India like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana, summer holidays are given from mid-May to the end of June. During this time the heat is the most, so it is necessary to keep the schools closed. In the southern states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, summer holidays start from April itself and last till the beginning of June.
In the states of eastern India like Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal and Assam, holidays are given from mid-May to mid-June. In these areas, along with heat, there is also a possibility of storms and hurricanes, which causes problems in running the school.
Western states like Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan also have holidays from early May to mid or late June. While coastal areas like Mumbai get some relief from the sea breeze, the temperature in the interior areas is quite high.
