Orissa HC Notice To Govt On Early Summer Vacation

Bhubaneswar: The Orissa High Court has issued a notice to the state government over the latter’s decision to prepone summer vacation in schools across Odisha this year in view of the intense heat wave conditions.

Hearing a petition filed by advocate Siba Narayan Biswal in which he has urged the High Court to immediately quash the vacation order issued by the Odisha government, a bench, comprising Chief Justice Kalpesh Satyendra Jhaveri and Justice Krushnaram Mohapatra, has sought answers from Chief Secretary, School & Mass Education (S&ME) Secretary, and Revenue and Disaster Management Secretary.

According to the petition, there are 200 working days for Class I to V students and 220 working days for Class VI to X. Instead of rescheduling the school timing, the Odisha government declared the summer holidays 20 days ahead, thereby hampering the studies of the students, the petitioner argued, while demanding that the order be immediately quashed.
