Delhi school's winter vacation curtailed

On the other hand, Delhi's schools will have a winter break starting on January 1, 2024. The Delhi government's Directorate of Education announced in a circular that the winter break for the 2023–2024 school year will start on January 1 and end on January 6, 2024.

Due to the shutdown in November brought on by the national capital's increased pollution levels, the previously scheduled 15-day winter vacation has been shortened.
