Whether schools function or not, they must celebrate Students' Day. This is the ignorant approach of the state government, which had issued an order to them to celebrate Students' Day on November 7. Schools are currently on Diwali vacation and were informed about this only on November 6. They didn't know what to do as the government has also asked them to submit the report of activities held.

The new day has been added to the list of many others that schools have been asked to celebrate by the government. According to a Government Resolution in this regard (on November 3), schools were expected to hold a book distribution for children from nearby slums, activities to inculcate a liking for education among children, and essay writing, elocution competitions etc. They were also to ensure awareness regarding the importance of education. The GR which ordered all schools to celebrate the day was formed forgetting that Diwali vacations have started. Schools will resume only after the second week of November. Hence the GR has become a joke in the education circle.
