An order in this regard was issued by Commissioner- Secretary, Higher Education Department, Asgar Samoon.
"All government degree colleges of Kashmir division and winter zone government degree colleges of Jammu division shall observe summer vacations with effect from July 6 to July 15, 2017," the order read.
Director, Education Department (Kashmir) G N Ittoo said the schools in the valley will also observe summer vacation during the same period.
The vacation coincides with a protest schedule issued by united jehad council (UJC), an amalgam of militant organisations operating in the valley.
Last year, the government had announced summer vacations in schools from July 1 to 17.
