The Mahayuti government on Friday rolled back its centralised scheme for distribution of uniforms among government school students and entrusted the responsibility for uniform procurement and distribution to school management committees (SMC), in line with earlier practice.

MUMBAI: The move followed widespread delays and inefficiencies in the uniform distribution process this year, leaving approximately 32 lakh students without their second set of uniforms. The change will be applicable from 2025-26, the next academic year.

The centralised scheme, unveiled in May 2023 under the 'One State, One Uniform' policy, aimed to standardise uniform distribution across all government schools in the state. But it was riddled with problems and plagued by delays since its inception, with many students receiving their uniforms several months after the start of the academic year.
