As January begins, students across India enjoy a break starting with New Year’s Day on January 1st. The winter holidays extend until mid-January in many northern states, offering a chance to celebrate festivals like Guru Gobind Singh’s Birthday on January 6th and Makar Sankranti, Pongal, and Hazrat Ali’s Birthday on January 14th. The month concludes with Republic Day on January 26th, giving students a well-deserved break before returning to school for the new academic term.
