UP CM wants reduction in public holidays, targets schools at first
Government employees in Uttar Pradesh get 40 holidays, which is much more than twice the number allowed elsewhere in the country.
"There should be no holidays in schools on birth anniversaries of great personalities. Instead special two-hour programme should be held to teach students about them," Adityanath was quoted as saying by NDTV.
The Chief Minister reportedly told officials to target increasing the number of working days in school every year from 120 days to 220 days.
