Rajasthan Mukhyamantri Free Uniform Scheme

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

School uniforms help create a sense of equality among students and encourage them to attend school with confidence. However, for many families, especially those from economically weaker backgrounds, purchasing new school uniforms every academic year can be a financial burden. To ensure that every child studying in a Government School has access to proper school uniforms without placing additional financial pressure on parents, the Government of Rajasthan is implementing the Mukhyamantri Nishulk Uniform Yojana (Rajasthan Free Uniform Distribution Scheme) under the Samagra Shiksha programme.

Under this scheme, eligible students studying in Government Schools from Class 1 to Class 8 receive two sets of free school uniforms, while the government also provides ₹200 per student as stitching assistance through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The stitching assistance is transferred to the student's Jan Aadhaar-linked bank account, enabling parents to get the uniforms stitched locally. This not only ensures that students receive properly fitted uniforms but also makes the entire benefit delivery process transparent and efficient.

The scheme is implemented by the School Education Department, Government of Rajasthan, through the Rajasthan Council of School Education. Student identification, beneficiary verification, sanction orders, and payment processing are carried out digitally through the ShalaDarpan Beneficiary Scheme Portal and the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS). Schools verify the eligibility of students, after which the approved beneficiaries receive the stitching assistance through DBT without requiring any separate application.

According to the official implementation records, the scheme currently covers 68,403 Government Schools and benefits approximately 67.29 lakh students across Rajasthan every year, making it one of the state's largest educational support programmes for school-going children. By reducing the cost of school uniforms and ensuring timely financial assistance, the scheme promotes regular school attendance, reduces the financial burden on families, and supports the government's objective of providing inclusive and equitable education to every eligible child.
