Summer vacations are also set to begin shortly in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana.

**Fewer Holidays for Children in UP**
Typically, schools in Uttar Pradesh remain closed from May 20 to June 30. This used to result in a total holiday period of 42 days; however, a change has now been implemented.
