Delhi Govt Provides Rs 1,370 to MCD School Students for Uniforms and Bags
Delhi CM Rekha Gupta transfers Rs 1,370 each to MCD primary school students for uniforms and bags, benefiting 5.25 lakh students, alongside new initiatives to improve school education and facilities.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta recently said that Rs 1,370 has been transferred to the bank accounts of primary school students under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi so that they can buy school uniforms and bags. This event was held at an MCD primary school in Tagore Garden, Delhi. Around 5.25 lakh students will benefit from this fund transfer, with a total of Rs 71.93 crore allocated.
Under this programme, each student will receive Rs 1,250 for uniforms and Rs 120 for a school bag. The funds are directly transferred to bank accounts via the Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) system to aid transparency and ensure all students meet the criteria to receive the monetary aid.
The aim of this initiative is to help families manage the school-related expenses and promote sending children to school with the necessary school supplies.
