This decision is based on the prevailing extreme cold weather conditions, considering the well-being of students.
The initial order (No.1354-DSEJ of 2023, dated: 18-12-2023) mandated winter vacations, and this extension stretches the break until 12-01-2024.

The Directorate emphasizes the importance of adhering to these instructions, warning that any laxity from Government or Private Schools will be viewed seriously and dealt with according to rules. This demonstrates the commitment to both the safety of students and the continuity of education through online platforms, showcasing the flexibility of educational institutions in adapting to challenging weather conditions.
