Parents like Renuka express their concerns, stating, “It has become difficult for parents to drop their children at Anganwadi schools and pick them up after half-day classes due to severe heatwaves.” The fear of heat-related illnesses has led many parents to keep their children home.

Anganwadi teachers have echoed these worries, saying, “Fearing heatwaves which may cause fevers and sunstroke, parents are not willing to send their children to Anganwadi Schools.” This situation reflects a broader trend as schools adapt their schedules amid extreme weather conditions.

Historically, early school closures in India are not uncommon during intense heatwaves. However, the scale of this year’s adjustments marks a significant response by state governments.

The recent announcement comes just ahead of the election results in Puducherry, where schools will close for one day. As states navigate both educational needs and public health concerns, the impacts of these decisions on students and families remain closely monitored.
