Amravati, 31 Mar (HS): Maharashtra State Primary Teachers Committee

has demanded that the schools in the 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or superseded, the Education Directorate on March 28, 2026, has announced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.
