Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on Tuesday claimed that the state government has announced that no school, college or university exams will be held during the Ganesh festival 2025.

In an official statement, the MNS said that this comes after a strong demand by Amit Thackeray, President of the Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena (MNS Students Wing).

Amit Thackeay had earlier demanded that the government must consider the cultural and emotional importance of Ganeshotsav and not burden students with exams during the celebrations.
