Canacona Schools to Remain Shut on November 28 Amid PM Modi’s Visit: Directorate of Education Issues Order


Goa | November 27, 2025: The Directorate of Education has announced a holiday for all schools in and around Canacona on November 28, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit to Goa. The notification was issued on Wednesday by Director of Education Shailesh Zingade following a high-level meeting chaired by the Chief Secretary.

According to the circular, the decision was taken in light of extensive security measures, traffic diversions and other logistical arrangements required due to the movement of multiple VVIPs in the region.

Zingade confirmed that all government, government-aided and unaided primary, secondary, higher secondary and special schools in the Canacona area will remain closed for both students and staff on Friday. Schools have also been instructed not to schedule examinations, academic activities or events on the declared holiday.

Prime Minister Modi will be in Canacona to unveil a 77-foot bronze idol of Lord Ram and inaugurate a 3D projection mapping installation as part of the Sardha Panchashatamahotsava, marking 550 years of Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Math. The event is expected to witness large footfall and heightened security deployment, prompting the temporary closure of schools to ease movement and ensure public safety.

Authorities have urged parents and students to follow official communication for further updates. Schools are expected to resume normal operations on November 29.
