• School Bag
• Belt with school logo

As far as warranty is concerned, this is what parents can expect when they buy new uniforms:

• 1 year warranty: If any bubbles come on t-shirt or skirt or pants it will be replaced.
• After buying 2-pairs of uniform if any parent wants only t-shirt or only skirt or only pants, the vendor will give them.
• School bag comes with 1 year warranty. If zip is broken or outer stitch has come out, school bag repair will be done by the vendor free of cost.

Common uniform code for students introduced, but what about quality of education?

Government introduced a common uniform code for students of both private and government schools, but parents ask whether it will ensure better education for their children.

The idea behind this move by the government is to bridge the gap between students of private and government schools.

It will also help students in government schools to not feel inferior to students of private schools, often dressed in smarter uniforms.

However, most parents feel that although smart uniform is a good move, the real focus of the government should be on matching the overall quality of education of private schools.
