Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet has approved the distribution of stitched school uniforms to students of government schools on Tuesday.
The cabinet also approved several other key decisions, including, funding for a district court building in Indore, continuation of medical college schemes, and implementation of a property rights initiative under the Centre's Swamitva Yojana.
Under the new decision, students of Classes 1 to 8 studying in government schools will no longer receive Rs 600 to purchase fabric for a pair of school uniforms.
