School Holiday Today: Students and parents from parts of India are checking whether schools will remain closed on Tuesday, August 11, due to heavy rainfall and Kanwar Yatra. There is no school holiday currently announced for today. Schools in some districts may remain closed due to local administrative orders, weather conditions and religious events.
The latest updates show that Haridwar schools and colleges will remain closed through August 11 due to the Kanwar Yatra. Many districts in Uttar Pradesh have also announced holidays during this period. In Uttarakhand, schools up to Class 12 in Bageshwar were ordered closed on August 10 because of an orange alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall, therefore, it is expected that schools can be closed tomorrow too.
School Holiday August 11: No Nationwide Closure
There is currently no order declaring August 11 a school holiday. School holidays in India are mainly decided by state governments, district administrations or individual schools depending on local conditions.
Students should check the updates from their respective school or district administration before guessing that schools will remain closed.
Haridwar Schools Closed Till August 11 Due to Kanwar Yatra
Schools and colleges in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, have been ordered to remain closed from July 30 to August 11, 2026, for Kanwar Yatra. The holiday covers the peak pilgrimage period, including Sawan Shivratri on August 11.
The decision has been taken considering the large movement of Kanwariyas, traffic diversions and security arrangements across Haridwar.
Uttarakhand School Holiday: Bageshwar Schools Closed Amid Heavy Rain
In Bageshwar district of Uttarakhand, schools up to Class 12 have been closed on August 10 after authorities issued a holiday in view of an IMD orange alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall. The closure was announced as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and school staff.
At present, the available August 10 order does not by itself confirm that Bageshwar schools will remain closed on August 11. Parents should therefore wait for any fresh district administration order before treating Tuesday as a holiday.
UP Schools Closed Amid Kanwar Yatra
Several districts of western Uttar Pradesh are also witnessing school closures because of the Kanwar Yatra. Ghaziabad, Meerut and Muzaffarnagar are among the districts where educational institutions have been affected by the pilgrimage-related arrangements.
In these areas, traffic restrictions, diversions and the movement of large numbers of Kanwariyas have prompted administrations to suspend physical classes for student safety.
Noida School Timings on August 11
Students in Noida and nearby areas should check their respective school communications for any changes in timings. Schools in the region have been operating under special arrangements amid the Kanwar Yatra and associated traffic restrictions.
Any fresh order regarding a full-day holiday or revised timings should be confirmed through the district administration or school authorities.
