India school closures remain a local decision as of October 26, 2026, with no nationwide order for schools to shut on October 27. Five Odisha districts have ordered schools, colleges and anganwadi centres closed on October 28 and 29 amid weather concerns.

Key Takeaways

  • Most schools are expected to operate normally on October 27, although local authorities may announce closures.
  • The Odisha order covers Ganjam, Gajapati, Rayagada, Koraput and Malkangiri on October 28 and 29.

India school closures in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh

A developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal could bring heavy rain and strong winds to coastal areas of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh around October 28.

The Odisha closure order applies to five districts for October 28 and 29. Families in those districts should check with schools and local administrations for any separate order covering October 27.

In Andhra Pradesh, officials are monitoring conditions in districts including Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Krishna and Bapatla. Decisions on closures will depend on local conditions and safety concerns.

Rain alerts and school schedules elsewhere

Parts of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry could also see heavy rain. District administrations may declare holidays if conditions become unsafe, but a weather alert does not automatically close every school in a state.

Schools in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad are expected to follow their regular schedules on October 27. No weather-related order covering all schools in Delhi-NCR had been issued based on the available information.

Parents and students should check school messages and district administration announcements, including whether an order applies to their district and the relevant date.
