The State Assembly and the State Senate have handed the invoice to make Diwali a Public School vacation, NYC mayor Eric Adams revealed.
“This is a victory, not only from the men and women of the Indian community and all communities that celebrate Diwali, but it’s a victory for New York,” the mayor stated.
But whereas Diwali will function as a public school vacation from this year, college students and academics won’t be getting a further time without work in 2023. This is as a result of the Diwali date for 2023 is November 12, which is already a vacation attributable to it being a Sunday.
