For children, this means one of their favorite things – school holidays. This year, in September 2025, students will get several days off from school due to government announcements, weather conditions, and upcoming festivals.

School Holiday on 1st September 2025
Students love school holidays the most, and now they have one more reason to be happy. The government has officially declared a holiday for schools on Monday, 1st September 2025. The decision comes in the wake of continuous heavy rainfall in Jammu and Kashmir. Due to the relentless downpour and landslides in the hilly areas, the Directorate of School Education, Jammu, has ordered that all government as well as private schools in the Jammu division will remain closed on this date. The order was released to ensure the safety of students and staff members. It is important to note that this directive is applicable to both government-funded institutions and private schools alike.
Jammu Schools Closed Due to Heavy Rainfall
The situation in Jammu has become concerning as the region has been witnessing uninterrupted heavy rainfall for over a week. Rivers have started to swell, and overflowing streams have worsened the conditions. Houses located near riverbanks are collapsing like a pack of cards, causing panic among residents. In addition to this, landslides in the mountainous regions have made it unsafe for children and school staff to commute. Considering these conditions, the education department decided to suspend classes for a day to avoid any risk. The closure notice, issued on 28th August 2025, clearly states that the safety of students and staff is the top priority. Hence, all schools in Jammu division will remain closed on 1st September 2025 (Monday).
