The school holidays for August 2025 have been announced for various regions across India, including Goa, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Here's a breakdown of the confirmed and anticipated holidays for each region.
Goa
The official school holiday schedule for Goa in August 2025 has been announced, and it's set to be a culturally rich and memorable month for students and teachers. The holidays will include Raksha Bandhan on August 9, Independence Day on August 15, and Ganesh Chaturthi, a two-day celebration on August 27-28.
Raksha Bandhan, a festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters, is a public holiday in Goa on August 9. Independence Day, commemorating India's independence from British rule, is observed on August 15. Ganesh Chaturthi, a major Hindu festival, is celebrated on August 27 and 28.
Beyond August, the official Goa school holiday list for the rest of the year, based on available information up to early August, includes the following:
- September: No widely observed school holidays typically fall here in Goa, but local cultural events or restricted holidays may occur.
- October 2025: Likely holidays for festivals such as Gandhi Jayanti, Dussehra/Vijayadashami, and Diwali.
- November 2025: Possible holidays for Diwali (if it falls in November), Children’s Day, and Guru Nanak Jayanti.
- December 2025: Common holidays include Christmas and regional events.
However, since official school holiday schedules can vary by district and specific educational authorities, parents and students in Goa are advised to check with their school's administration after August 2025 for the finalized holiday calendar covering September through December 2025.
Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh
The school holidays in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are also scheduled for August 2025. However, the specific dates and the extent to which students can engage in cultural and social activities may vary from those in Goa. Individual school administrations in these states should be contacted for confirmation of holiday dates.
While Raksha Bandhan, Independence Day, and Ganesh Chaturthi are public holidays in Goa, they are not observed as such in Andhra Pradesh or Karnataka in August 2025. The school holidays in these states offer opportunities for relaxation and cultural interaction, but the specific dates and the festivals included in the calendar may differ from those in Goa.
For the remainder of 2025 beyond August, the holiday calendar is not fully detailed in the search results for these states. However, it is expected that major Indian national holidays and regional festivals will be included as usual. Parents and students in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are also advised to check with their school's administration after August 2025 for the finalized holiday calendar covering September through December 2025.
