Students and teachers of schools in Mysuru may be looking at having their mid-term holidays advanced in view of Dasara festivities.
Though the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has scheduled 15 days of mid-term holidays for schools in the State from October 11 to October 25, Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru D. Randeep has written to the Commissioner of DPI to advance the holidays for schools in Mysuru district to coincide with Dasara festivities.
The annual Dasara festival is scheduled to begin on September 21 and end on September 30 this year.
As students and teachers of the schools will also have to participate in the Dasara festivities, Mr. Randeep, who is also the Special Officer for Dasara festival, has said it will be more appropriate to have the mid-term holidays for schools in Mysuru district from September 21 to October 5 this year.
In a letter dated August 21, Mr. Randeep has urged the Commissioner of Public Instruction to declare mid-term holidays from September 21 to October 5 this year for schools in the district.
