School Holiday on 3 September 2025: The first week of September marked an unusual start for students across several states. Heavy monsoon rains led to the closure of schools, offering an extended break to students from regular academic studies. While some schools observed September 1 and 2 as a scheduled festival holiday, others were shut due to waterlogging, flash floods, and landslides triggered by torrential downpour.
