Nice! UP has a mind boggling 42 public holidays in an year. This reduces the number by only 17. There is still a long way to go. Forget schools, how do offices in the state get any work done? And how do the parents of these children get any work done, with random holidays littered all over the school year? It is better to give vacations in a single block.

If you want to remember Chandrashekhar Azad, do it at school. He didn't sacrifice his life for you to sit idle at home and waste time and opportunity.
