Gujarat Schools Extend Classes to Holidays, Distribute Textbooks After Floods
Following heavy rains and flooding in late July, schools in six south Gujarat districts lost up to a week of classes. To meet the mandatory 120 working days, the Gujarat government allowed schools to operate on public holidays. Around 1.45 lakh textbooks were distributed to replace those damaged. Officials emphasized completing the syllabus remains a priority, with schools adjusting schedules locally. The floods caused significant damage to school infrastructure and disrupted academic activities, prompting recovery and compensation efforts.
