Schools in West Bengal and Assam have been declared closed on September 22 following state government directives recognizing Karam Puja as a public holiday.
Karam Puja, celebrated primarily among tribal communities in eastern India, marks the harvest season and is observed with significant religious and cultural importance. The festival typically involves community gatherings, traditional rituals, and thanksgiving ceremonies.
State education departments in both West Bengal and Assam have issued formal holiday notifications ahead of the date, directing all schools under their jurisdiction to remain shut. The closure applies to both government and affiliated private institutions in the respective states.
Educational institutions in other regions, including the Delhi-NCR area, will function normally on the date unless specific local holiday notifications are issued. Parents and students are advised to check with their respective state education authorities for any additional holiday announcements.
