Gujarat: Diwali vacation Colleges, varsities get 21 days instead of 13
Higher education institutions across Gujarat will have 21-day Diwali vacations, announced Gujarat Education Minister Jitu Vaghani on Tuesday.
“An announcement is being made in response to several representations made by higher education associations that since Diwali is the biggest Hindu festival, the vacation should be 21 days instead of 13 days,” the minister tweeted in Gujarati.
After the announcement, the Diwali vacations from November 1 to 13 as per the common academic calendar, has been extended till November 21. This applies to all state universities and their affiliated colleges except medical and pharmacy courses.
Soon after the announcement, the education department issued a Government Resolution, too. “Keeping in mind, the representations of several associations of higher education, the following changes are being made in the common academic calendar,” it stated.
As per the revised common academic calendar 2021-22, summer vacations of six weeks are from April 1, 2022 to June 14, 2022. The academic calendar for higher education institutes had 13 days Diwali vacations for the past two years.
On September 24, Gujarat Rajya Adhyapak Mahamandal had submitted a representation to the Education Minister requesting for 21-day Diwali vacations.
“In 2020, due to prevailing Covid-19 pandemic conditions, the association accepted two-week Diwali vacations... Now since the corona cases are very few and colleges have started offline education as per Covid guidelines, it is not suitable to reduce the Diwali vacations... So, we request you to resume the 21-day Diwali vacations,” the
representation stated.
Gujarat Rajya Adhyapak Mahamandal secretary Rajendra Jadhav said, “As teachers do not get the benefit of EL (earned leave), we have been wanting longer Diwali vacations, which had been reduced... Keeping that in mind, we have submitted the representation to the state government.”
As per University Grants Commission (UGC), a college can have 10 weeks of vacations and 30 weeks of teaching and learning process, another 10 weeks for admissions, examinations and preparations, and two weeks of public holidays.

Gandhinagar, Oct 25 (IANS) Gujarat Education Minister Jitu Vaghani on Monday said that the state government is going to bring drastic changes and improvement in the policies related to education and startups and told the students that India was indeed on its way to becoming the 'Vishwaguru' (world leader).
He was speaking at the inauguration of the Defence Design & Technology Incubator of India (DDTII) at the Karnavati University in Gandhinagar.
"You will be amazed at the drastic changes the Gujarat government will be bringing in the education sector in a couple of months. Not only are we going to raise the amount of the incentives to the students but also we are bringing in big changes in the policies. The government wants to hold hands of each student, right from standard 6 onwards, those who want to do something," said Vaghani.
"One thing is certain that we are on the way to become the 'Vishwaguru' under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he said.
"The startup policy was started in 2017 and we will form a new policy in 2022. As part of the policy, we will increase the allocation given to universities for supporting student startups. Through the policy, we will support all forms of student innovations under 'Mind to Market' initiative," added Vaghani.
The incubator is promoted under Defence Design & Technology Incubator of India Foundation which is a not-for-profit company registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013.
"Defence is a very closed sector. Selling your product to the Armed Forces is a different thing. We will give the students the customer connect. We have good connect with the service headquarters of the armed forces with PSUs like HAL, BHEL. We will bring the startups closer to these customers. We will be the nodal agency to do that," said Dr Nishit Pandya, the director, DDTII.
"We already have 4 mentors on board, we plan to have hundred mentors by the next year. We are planning to have Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with defence companies. We are already in talks with Adani Defence, L&T Defence, Tata advance systems," added Pandya.
