Dussehra 2025 Holidays: Dussehra is celebrated every year in India with great reverence and faith. According to the Hindu calendar, this festival falls on the Dashami date of the Shukla Paksha of the Ashwin month. According to religious beliefs, on this day, Lord Shri Ram killed Ravana, the king of Lanka. Since then, Dussehra is remembered as the victory of good over evil and the victory of truth over untruth. This festival is not only important from a religious point of view, but also culturally and socially; it is a medium to connect families and society.
Good news for students
There are always holidays in schools and colleges on Dussehra, but this time, this festival is going to be special. The reason is that the students of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are going to get more holidays than usual in 2025. The State Education Department has released the annual holiday calendar, and according to this, Dussehra holidays will be longer than before. This announcement has filled both students and parents with enthusiasm.
Nine-day holiday in Andhra Pradesh
This year, schools and colleges in Andhra Pradesh will remain closed from 24 September to 2 October 2025. This simply means that students will get a total of nine days off. This period is considered to be very suitable for students in terms of festival fun, family get-togethers, and travel. However, the period of leave has been kept a little less in Christian minority institutions. Students of these institutions will get holidays only from 27 September to 2 October. Despite this, this time is also enough to enjoy the festival.
13 days long holiday in Telangana
This year will be even more special for the students of Telangana. Here, schools and colleges will remain closed from 21 September to 3 October. In this way, students will get continuous leave for a full 13 days. Both students and teachers were expecting such holidays for a long time. During this period, children will not only be able to enjoy the splendor of Dussehra, but will also be able to participate in religious events and fairs with their family and relatives. The special thing is that a holiday has also been announced on the occasion of Urs-un-Nabi on September 5 in Telangana, which will give students even more days of rest.
