Odisha government orders statewide school, college closure as heatwave hits 46°C – The Times of India
Odisha Summer Holiday 2025: In response to the intense heatwave gripping the state, the Odisha government has announced the closure of all schools and colleges across the state, effective from Wednesday, April 23, 2025. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi issued the directive after a review of the heatwave situation, citing concerns over the health and safety of children. The move comes after the maximum temperature in Odisha crossed 46°C, with Jharsuguda recording the highest temperature of the season at 46.2°C on April 21.
This decision affects all government and private educational institutions, from anganwadi centres and kindergartens to class 12. The closure is set to remain in place until further notice, with the government prioritising the health of children. Despite the shutdown, previously scheduled exams will go ahead as planned, with officials instructed to remain vigilant and ensure the proper conduct of these exams.
Statewide closure and safety measures
In the official communication issued by the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), it was confirmed that the state’s decision to close educational institutions was driven by the intense heatwave and significant disruption to normal life. Schools have been instructed to provide dry food to anganwadi children at their homes during this period. “The intense heatwave and significant increase in daytime temperatures are disrupting normal life in the state. Therefore, prioritising the health of children, the chief minister made the decision,” the CMO stated.
Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari further confirmed that although classes would be suspended, boarding students will still be allowed to stay in their hostels. Additionally, SOPs for schools, including the continuation of morning classes, were already in place to mitigate the effects of the scorching weather. He added that action would be taken against educational institutions that fail to comply with the new guidelines.
Heatwave impact on daily life
The heatwave has already disrupted daily activities, with humidity levels soaring as early as 8 a.m. Teachers have reported students complaining of dizziness, vomiting, and headaches due to the oppressive weather. Some classes have seen reduced attendance as a result of the unbearable conditions. Earlier in March, the state government had already rescheduled school timings from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. due to the rising temperatures, but even that could not mitigate the growing health concerns.
The government’s decision to close schools and colleges comes as a response to mounting pressure from various parent associations urging immediate action to safeguard the children. The move is seen as crucial in ensuring public health during what is expected to be a prolonged heatwave.
