Winter vacation
Winter vacation is an alternative to summer vacation in areas that have harsh winters and mild summers. Winter vacation allows economical savings from not having to provide heat to school buildings during the winter, as well as allowing the students to travel to warmer areas.
Conversely, since winter vacation eliminates the summer vacation, children may miss opportunities to play (go to summer camps or participate in outdoor sports) in the summer when the weather is more enjoyable.
In India winter break lasts for about 2 weeks from late December to early or mid January.
