All schools and colleges in Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Ranga Reddy, and Medchal–Malkajgiri districts of Telangana will remain closed on Saturday, September 6, 2025, on account of the Ganesh idol immersion procession.

The Telangana government has issued an official notice declaring September 6 as a general holiday for all government offices, schools, and colleges in these areas. To compensate for this holiday, September 11 (second Saturday) will now be observed as a working day for all educational institutions.
