Educational institutions will remain closed for an 11-day stretch this month due to Durga Puja and the weekends.
According to the holiday list from the Ministry of Education, schools and colleges will be closed from October 9 to Oct 17.
Bijoya Dashami falls on October 13, Fateha-e-Yazdaham on October 15, and Lakshmi Puja and Prabarana Purnima on October 16.
As October 18 is a Friday and October 19 is a Saturday, educational institutions will commence on October 20.
Generally, employees get only one day off for Dashami during Durga Puja. But this year, as Dashami falls on Sunday, it will turn into a long three-day weekend after the usual weekend on Friday and Saturday.
