Madhya Pradesh to Resume Direct ₹600 Uniform Allowance for School Students
The Madhya Pradesh government plans to transfer ₹600 directly into the bank accounts of 5.8 million government school students for uniforms after the tender process for stitched uniforms faced legal challenges and was canceled. The decision, expected to be finalized by the state cabinet, reverses an earlier move to distribute stitched uniforms. The funds will be disbursed via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) for students in Classes 1 to 8, following objections to tender eligibility and a High Court stay.
