One card for each month of 2027, with the holidays, Sundays and second Saturdays in English and Hindi, vacation notes and the number of school days left.
Not final yet. The Haryana Department of School Education has not issued the 2027 holiday list, and vacation dates come out nearer the time. Holidays here follow the 2027 Central Government list, which Haryana largely follows. The "school days" figure leaves out Sundays, the second Saturday and weekday holidays, so it will change if the state adds more. Always go by your school circular.
Each card lists every day off in the month, in English and in Hindi: all Sundays, the second Saturday and the gazetted holidays, in date order, with the day of the week. Under each list you will see the number of school days left and a note on any vacation that touches the month. Use the Share as image button to send a month to a parent group.

Expected: The winter break normally begins in the last week of December. The 2027-28 dates are not out yet.
Over the twelve months of 2027 there are 52 Sundays and 12 second Saturdays. The 17 dates on the holiday list include 2 that fall on a Sunday and 3 that fall on a Saturday, so they take away fewer working days than their number suggests. After removing Sundays, second Saturdays and weekday holidays, a plain count gives about 287 days across the calendar year. The real number of teaching days is lower because of the summer vacation, the winter break and local closures, and it is higher or lower from school to school.

Winter break. The 2026-27 session calendar has the winter break running from 24 December 2026 to 5 January 2027, with schools reopening on 6 January 2027. That is the only vacation in 2027 for which dates are on record at the time of writing. In years when a cold wave or dense fog lingers, the state or the district administration has extended winter closure by ten to fifteen days, so watch for a fresh order in early January.
Summer vacation. The usual pattern in Haryana is a break that starts in mid or late May and runs through June, with schools reopening in the first days of July. The exact dates are fixed by the Education Department each year, and it can bring the break forward when the heat is severe. The May, June and July cards carry an "Expected" note for that reason. We will replace it with the real dates when the order is issued.
The next winter break. The December 2027 card carries an expected note too. The break normally starts in the last week of December, but the dates for the 2027-28 session have not been issued.
What the count leaves out: summer and winter vacations, local closures, elections, exam duty days, and any holiday that the state adds later. It also does not look at Saturdays other than the second, because most government schools work on those. Private schools often follow a five-day week, and for them the number will be lower.
The holiday dates themselves are the same as on the Haryana government calendar 2027, where you can see the whole year in a printable layout.
It has not been announced. Haryana summer vacation usually falls between mid-May and the end of June, and the department can pull it forward or push it back in extreme heat. Watch your school notice board or the Education Department orders. The May and June cards on this page are marked as expected for that reason.
Yes. The 2026-27 session calendar has the winter break from 24 December 2026 to 5 January 2027, with schools reopening on 6 January. If the cold lingers, a separate order from the state or the district can extend it.
The cards here mark the second Saturday of each month as a day off, together with every Sunday. Other Saturdays are working days in most government schools. Some private schools follow a five-day week, so check your own school timetable and calendar.
The list on this page follows the Central Government list for 2027 with Dr B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti on 14 April added as a date Haryana usually observes. Independence Day and Guru Nanak Jayanti fall on Sundays, so they give no extra day off.
We take the number of days in the month and remove every Sunday, the second Saturday, and any gazetted holiday that falls on another day. Vacations and local closures are not subtracted, because the dates are not fixed yet. Treat the number as the maximum, not the exact count.
Yes. The Haryana Government notifies its own list around December and can add state holidays. District administrations can also close schools at short notice for weather, elections or local events. The cards will be updated when the official list is out.
Each month has a Share as image button. It draws a clean card with the month, the holidays in English and Hindi and the site address, then either opens the share sheet on your phone or downloads the picture.
They can move by a day because they depend on the sighting of the moon. The date on this page follows the Central list, so expect a short school order if the date changes.
No. This is an independent guide. The official list is whatever the Haryana Department of School Education, the Haryana Board of School Education or your school circular says. Use this page for planning and the circular for the final word.
