School gate with "SCHOOL CLOSED - AMBEDKAR JAYANTI" sign and Ambedkar portrait.
Many schools and colleges across India, including those in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, are expected to be closed on April 14, 2026. This day is Ambedkar Jayanti, which celebrates the birth of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar.
Dr. Ambedkar was a key figure in Indian history. He helped write the Indian Constitution. April 14, 2026, will be his 135th birth anniversary. Schools often hold events to teach students about his work for social justice.
Also, schools may be closed for other festivals in mid-April. These include Tamil New Year, Vishu, Pohela Boishakh, and Bohag Bihu. Some schools might also close in early May for May Day and Buddha Purnima.
Parents and students should check their school calendars for the exact dates of holidays. Schedules can change depending on the region.
