Dhar Students Await Uniforms as ₹600 Assistance Remains Pending
Many children in government schools in Dhar district are still waiting for school uniforms.
The wait has lasted five months into the 2026-27 school year.
The government is supposed to provide ₹600 each year for two pairs of uniforms.
The money is usually sent to parents’ bank accounts.
However, parents said they have not received the money.
Schools have also not handed out ready-made uniforms.
Some children are attending classes in ordinary clothes.
Officials say they are still waiting for clear instructions about what will happen.
Students in several Dhar government schools have gone five months without uniforms or uniform assistance.
The government provides ₹600 annually for two uniform sets to students in Classes 1 to 8.
Parents said the money has not been deposited and ready-made uniforms have not been distributed.
More than one lakh students study in about 4,000 primary and secondary schools across Dhar district.
Education official Abhishek Yadav said no clear government guidelines had been received on the distribution process.
