CHANDIGARH:  In a move, which will benefit about 5.25 lakh students, the Himachal Pradesh Government has decided to transfer an amount of Rs 600 to every student of Class 1 to 8, studying in government schools through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) for providing them free school uniforms. The funds will be transferred directly to the student or mother. 

Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said on Monday said that the State government has taken this decision to minimize an extra financial burden on the parents.
