Chandigarh, May 21
School Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla has said 13,48,632 government school students will receive free uniform at their home for the academic session 2021-22 as a grant of Rs 80.92 crore had been released by the Education Department.
He said after sanctioning the required grant, directions had been issued to district education officers for proper arrangement of uniform and have been asked to follow the safety protocol while distributing these among students. He added funds would be credited to the school management committees for the purchase of uniform.
Singla said: “Apart from providing uniform on the doorstep, no student will be called to schools for measurements. The staff will obtain the size from parents and provide the uniform at home.” — TNS
