The Rajasthan government has added significant historical commemorations to the 2024-25 school calendar, including Savarkar Jayanti on May 28 and the celebration of the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, termed 'Swarn Mukut Mastak Diwas'. This initiative has sparked political controversy, with Congress leaders accusing the ruling BJP of politicizing education and promoting Hindutva narratives. In addition to these commemorations, the calendar introduces 'No Bag Day' on certain Saturdays and On-Job training for higher secondary students during winter holidays. Schools will operate for a total of 213 days, with 152 days designated for holidays, including the Diwali break from October 27 to November 7. The academic year for government and private schools is set to begin on July 1, 2025, with exam schedules outlined for various assessment periods throughout the year.
