Maharashtra State Primary Teachers Committee has demanded that the schools in Vidarbha should open on June 30, as per directions of Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court on June 7, 2007.
Even when the High Court Directions have not been overruled or superseded, the Education Directorate on March 28, 2026, has announced opening of schools in entire state on June 15.
The teachers’ organisation in a memorandum has demanded schools in the Vidarbha region to review its decision, particularly for the Vidarbha region. The summer scorch can be felt in the Vidarbha region and schools in rural areas face power cuts, water scarcity and cannot provide the required facilities for the students in the hot and humid climate. The primary teachers are also engaged in the census related work affecting their legitimate vacations.
The Committee has requested the School Education Department to start the 2026-2027 academic session from June 30.
