Winter vacation in Punjab’s non-formal schools, set to commence from January 1st.

The caretaker Punjab government has announced that winter vacations in Punjab’s non-formal schools would start from Jan 1 and would continue till January 10.

In a notification, the Department of Literacy and Non-Formal Education stated that all the non-formal institutes have been directed to comply with the notification.

Punjab has been ranked below in the air quality index in the recent past, prompting the government to have artificial rain. The decision did improve the air quality but it did not last long.

Medical experts have urged the people to wear masks while going out in smog.

It merits here to mention that winter vacations in government and private schools of Punjab started on December 18. Schools would reopen on January 2.
