Nagpur, November 30 — Confusion Grows Over December 2 School Holiday
With December 2 just around the corner, thousands of students across Nagpur are stuck in confusion. Local schools have not yet received a signed and officially released government order confirming whether the day will be observed as a holiday.
While several rumours and informal messages have circulated online, institutions are waiting strictly for the formal notification, which has not yet been finalized.
Why Is There a Delay?
According to education administrators, the notification draft exists but is pending official approval. Until the signature and release take place, schools cannot declare a confirmed holiday.
This delay is causing uncertainty for:
- Students, who are unsure whether to prepare for school or plan a day off
- Parents, especially working parents, who must arrange schedules
- Schools, which need clarity for exams, attendance, and academic planning
Schools Take a Cautious Approach
Most government, private, and semi-private schools in Nagpur have issued the same message to parents:
“We will announce the holiday only after receiving the official GR.”
This conservative approach prevents misinformation and ensures compliance with education department guidelines.
What Students Should Do
Until the government issues a signed order, students should:
- Stay prepared as if school is functioning normally
- Keep checking official school WhatsApp groups or notices
- Avoid believing unverified online messages
- Wait for the final GR to be circulated
Possible Scenario
If the order is issued on December 1 or late evening today, schools will immediately declare the holiday.
If not, December 2 may continue as a regular working day.
Why Official GR Matters
Government Resolution (GR) is the final legal document that authorizes:
- School closures
- Staff attendance rules
- Exam rescheduling
- Holiday compensation (if applicable)
Without it, schools cannot legally declare the holiday—even if rumours say otherwise.
Conclusion
As of now, the situation remains unclear, and the delay in signing the official order has led to widespread confusion. Students and parents should rely only on verified school announcements. A clear update is expected shortly, but until then, academic schedules will continue as per routine.
