UP School Holiday Calendar 2025: The Uttar Pradesh government released its 2025 school and office holiday calendar. The calendar has 24 public and 31 restricted holidays. However, many holidays fall on weekends, which may frustrate students and office workers.
If a famous person’s festival, event, or birth anniversary falls on a holiday, the official notification states that no further holidays will be awarded. In 2025, 14 holidays fall on Saturdays or Sundays, preventing extra days off.
The announcement further confirmed that Republic Day (January 26), Independence Day (August 15), and Gandhi Jayanti (October 2) will remain general vacations. A detailed Uttar Pradesh school and office holiday calendar for 2025-2026 is below.
