Delhi Schools Shut Down From 1-15 Jan; What Happens To NCR Schools?

National | December 29, 2015

With the even-odd formula soon to take over Delhi for a trial period of 15 days, starting 1 to 15 January, many are perplexed. Well, almost every Delhite is, except students.

Students of Delhi have got an extension to their winter breaks as the Delhi government has declared schools to remain closed during this trial period of 15 days. To confirm the news, Directorate of Education (DoE) has also released its statement, saying, “To make the new scheme functional with least disturbance to our children during the 'Odd Even Scheme' days, the government has decided to declare holidays for all schools from January 1 to 15 and also to procure the services of school buses for the requirement of DTC at notified rates.”

However, what happens to the schools in NCR, where students commute from the capital city, is something the government has not yet specified. Are the schools in NCR too shutting down for these few days?

It has also been noticed that the schools, be it in Delhi or NCR, have rescheduled this year’s winter breaks in anticipation of the upcoming even-odd formula of vehicles in the capital city. While winter breaks started 25th December onwards every year, this year many schools have announced to go on a break 31 December onwards, thus not hampering the total number of classes to be held each year.

Yet, a few vehicles have been exempted from the rule. Below’s a list:

All CNG-driven vehicles (will need to produce certificate)

Electric vehicles

Hybrid vehicles

Two-wheelers

Vehicles driven by women, with only women passengers

Vehicles driven by women, with children below the age of 12

Those on way to hospital for medical emergency (should carry proof)

Vehicles of physically challenged

Emergency vehicles - Ambulance, fire, hospital, prison, hearse, enforcement vehicles, etc
