Based on official 2026 holiday calendars and government notifications, students across India are anticipated to receive a cluster of festival-linked breaks starting in the last week of August and continuing through September 2026. Prominent occasions slated for these months include Milad-un-Nabi (Eid-e-Milad), Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, and Ganesh Chaturthi.
CBSE School Holidays in Noida, Uttar Pradesh
According to the CBSE school holiday list 2026 in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, specific dates have been formally announced as school holidays. These upcoming closures include:
- August 25 (Tuesday): Eid‑e‑Milad
- August 28 (Friday): Raksha Bandhan
- September 4 (Friday): Janmashtami
Educational establishments such as Jaypee Public School, Greater Noida, SKS World School, and several other CBSE-affiliated schools adhere to this exact schedule. However, students and parents must note that some schools have announced August 26 as a holiday for Eid-e-Milad, with BGS Vijnatham School being one of them.
State-Specific Festival Schedules
When noting state holidays in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Goa, and others, parents must note that Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayak Chaturthi falls on September 14, 2026. Additionally, some calendars also list Onam occurring in late August or early September.
As per reports, Onam 2026 will be celebrated in Kerala on August 26. This day marks Thiruvonam, which is the main day of Onam. The extended festivities begin with First Onam falling on August 25, 2026, followed by Third Onam on August 27, and Fourth Onam scheduled for August 28, 2026.
Institutional Variations and Guidelines
Because these occasions are classified as festivals and restricted holidays, not all schools will be closed on every specified date. Furthermore, some institutions may compensate with working Saturdays or adjusted timetables. Ultimately, school closures may differ from state to state, board-to-board, and from school to school.
To avoid confusion, parents and students should check the official 2026 holiday notification issued by their respective state education department or school management. It is also advisable to refer to the school’s academic calendar found on official websites or circulars, especially for CBSE, ICSE, and private schools that may follow their own schedule.
Finally, families are encouraged to watch for last-minute announcements regarding weather-related closures or additional local holidays, which are often communicated via SMS, school websites, or notice boards.
