"school-uniforms"

BRS leader T Harish Rao demanded an inquiry into alleged poor-quality uniforms supplied to Telangana government school students. He claimed shortages, incorrect measurements and fading colours, while accusing the Revanth Reddy government of sidelining local handloom workers in favour of corporate suppliers

The supply of school uniforms in Telangana’s government schools is delayed as the Education Department has not placed its usual order with TGSCO, opting instead for centralised procurement from private firms.

Telangana’s School Education department plans to revert government and local body school uniforms to the previous corporate-style design, restoring stripes and shoulder loops removed by the current government. Around 20 lakh students will receive uniforms, costing Rs. 130 crore

During Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s visit to Mahalaxmi Mahila Shakthi meeting at Parade Grounds here on March 12, the SHG women appealed to him to increase the stitching charges.

There are 2,48,837 students in all government schools in the district, of which 1,15,990 are boys and 1,32,857 are girls

The Collector asked the officials to take measures to make available uniforms before the commencement of the new academic year beginning on June 12.

District Collectors were asked to work out the details of number of school uniforms to be stitched department wise in the respective district limits
