Events You Need to Know This February

Looking for a quick rundown of what’s happening across India this month? You’ve come to the right spot. We’ve pulled together the biggest festivals, the new government rollout in Delhi, key school exams and the bank holiday calendar. Grab a notebook and keep this guide handy.

Festivals that Light Up February

First up, festivals. February is packed with color and tradition. Basant Panchami arrives early in the month, marking the start of spring. People wear yellow, fly kites and offer prayers to Goddess Saraswati. A few weeks later, Mahashivratri takes center stage. Devotees fast, chant mantras and visit Shiva temples throughout the night. Both events draw large crowds, so plan travel and accommodations early if you’re heading to a hotspot.

Delhi’s New Government and Academic Milestones

On the political front, Delhi is seeing a fresh government form after the recent elections. New ministers are taking charge of education, transport and health. Expect policy shifts that could affect students, especially those preparing for board exams. Speaking of exams, board tests start nationwide in the last week of February. Schools are rolling out study schedules, and many coaching centers are offering extra mock papers. If you’re a student, make a realistic timetable now—balance revision with short breaks to keep your mind sharp.

Bank closures are another practical detail many overlook. Most banks in the country will be closed on the main public holidays that fall in February, including the regional holidays in Assam and West Bengal. This means no cash withdrawals or fund transfers on those days. If you need to settle bills or transfer money, do it a day or two before the closure to avoid last‑minute stress.

Now, how does all this affect you? If you’re traveling for a festival, check local transport updates—Delhi’s new administration may introduce temporary routes or schedule changes. Students should note the exam dates, register for any online mock tests, and keep an eye on any new guidelines released by the education department. And for anyone handling finances, set reminders for bank holidays so you don’t miss payments.

Quick tip: Create a simple spreadsheet with three columns—Date, Event, Action Required. Fill in the festival dates, exam days and bank holidays. Then add what you need to do, like “book tickets”, “study chapter 5” or “pay internet bill”. This visual aid keeps everything in one place and cuts down on mental clutter.

We’ll keep updating this page as more details emerge, especially any last‑minute changes from the Delhi government or exam boards. Bookmark the page, refresh it weekly, and you’ll stay ahead of the curve without chasing multiple sources.

That’s the essential February snapshot. Use it, share it, and make the most of the events around you. Happy planning!
