Despite the onset of the monsoon earlier this week, the district magistrate has issued an order prohibiting academic activities in all private and government schools up to Class 12, including pre-schools and Anganwadi centers, within the Patna district. The decision aims to prioritize the safety and well-being of students in light of the intense heatwave, ensuring that they are not exposed to potentially harmful weather conditions.
The order, dated June 16, states that the closure is necessary due to the “prevalent heatwave and high temperature in the district” and to protect the health and lives of the children.
This measure is taken to safeguard the students’ welfare and minimize the risks associated with extreme heat. The authorities are taking proactive steps to ensure a conducive learning environment for the students once the heatwave subsides.
Patna Schools to Remain Closed Till June 24 Due to Severe Heatwave
Decision Made for Student Safety Amidst Intense Heatwave Conditions
All schools in Patna, Bihar, will continue to remain closed until June 24 as a precautionary measure due to the prevailing severe heatwave conditions. Despite the onset of the monsoon earlier this week, the district magistrate has issued an order prohibiting academic activities in both private and government schools, including pre-schools and Anganwadi centers, for all students up to Class 12 within the district.
The decision to extend the closure is primarily driven by concerns for the safety and well-being of the students.

By prioritizing their health, the authorities aim to ensure that students are not subjected to the adverse effects of extreme temperatures.

Focused on Student Welfare During Extreme Weather
This temporary closure aims to safeguard the well-being of students and mitigate the challenges posed by the heatwave. While academic activities are on hold, it is crucial for parents, teachers, and students to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to combat the adverse effects of high temperatures. It is recommended to stay hydrated, avoid direct exposure to sunlight during peak hours, and adhere to other preventive measures to ensure personal safety.
