School Winter Holidays 2023-24 Dates: Getting up on a cold winter morning and heading to school can be quite a challenge. However, some states have announced winter vacations, offering a much-needed break from the regular academic schedule. This annual respite allows students to relax, participate in festivities, and embrace the wintry atmosphere. Here is a state-wise list of winter holidays in schools.
