Noida: In view of rising temperatures and heatwave warnings, the DM of Guatam Budh Nagar has revised school timings for every school in Noida. The decision has been taken into consideration with a purview to protect students from extreme weather conditions and reduce health risks caused by excessive heat.
The order applies to all educational institutions in the district including government schools, private schools, and institutions affiliated with CBSE, IB, UP Board, ICSE and other boards.
Noida School New Timings
As per the official directive, Noida schools will now function from 7.30 am to 12.30 pm. The revised timings are effective from April 27, 2026 and will remain in force until further notice.
The administration stated that this step was necessary as it posed risk for children facing heatwaves commonly known as loo. Due to these weather conditions, children can face dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
As per the directive all Noida schools have been given strict guidelines to adhere with the new timetable. The notification is issued to all schools operating under all recognized education boards such as CBSE, private or IB, etc.
Major parts of North India are currently witnessing high temperatures. Weather departments have issued advisories urging people to avoid stepping out during afternoon hours unless its very necessary.
School children are very vulnerable to such conditions so necessary steps have been undertaken by the government so as to avoid any unavoidable situation.
Parents have supported this move as they believe that students’ exposure to intense heat would definitely cause problems which is why they welcome the authority’s decision. However, the timing would be reviewed as per the climate change authority.
