August School Holidays List: School holidays provide a valuable opportunity for both students and teachers to take a break. They can use this time to travel, enjoy quality moments with family and friends, or simply focus on their personal hobbies and interests. For students, this respite from academic pressures allows them to relax and recharge, which not only helps reduce stress but also significantly benefits their mental well-being.

After the initial weeks of classes resuming in June and July post-summer break, this month offers a refreshing pause with significant celebrations such as Raksha Bandhan, Independence Day, Janmashtami, and Ganesh Chaturthi.
