All schools in Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida), from Class 1 to 12, will stay closed on July 23, 2025, because of the Kanwar Yatra. The district administration took this step to keep students safe, as large crowds and heavy traffic are expected during the yatra. Only online classes are allowed on this day. Regular classes will start again from July 24, 2025.
Why Are Schools Closed in Noida?
The Kanwar Yatra is a big Hindu pilgrimage happening from July 11 to 23, 2025. Many people travel during this time, causing traffic jams and crowds, especially in Delhi-NCR and western Uttar Pradesh. Roads will be busy, making it hard for school buses to run safely. To avoid risks, officials decided to shut schools and shift to online classes.
Online Classes Continue for Students
Though schools are closed physically, some schools are conducting online classes on July 23. This way, students can continue their learning from home. Parents were informed through school messages and asked to check the online class schedule.
Parents and Teachers Reaction
Parents and teachers agreed with the school closure, saying children’s safety comes first. They felt online classes are a good option for such situations. Many also suggested that better planning could help reduce disruptions in future Kanwar Yatra events.
