India Today
All government schools in West Bengal will now have blue and white uniforms bearing a Biswa Bangla logo designed by CM Mamata Banerjee herself.
West Bengal is all set to introduce a new dress code across all government-run schools in the state. Students of all government, semi-government and government-aided schools in Bengal will have a common uniform in a blue and white colour scheme.
The new dress code will also prominently feature the Bengal government's 'Biswa Bangla' logo, one that was conceptualised and designed by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself.
According to the official order which was accessed by India Today, the state MSME department has been roped in to supply the newly designed school uniforms.
The new attire will consist of a white shirt and navy blue pants for boys from pre-primary to class 8, and a white shirt along with navy blue frocks/salwar kameez in the same colour scheme for girls.
The 'Biswa Bangla' logo will be stitched on the pockets of every uniform. The state govt is distributing free school bags to students bearing the same logo as part of the entire set.
Further, the government order said the boys in pre-primary to class VIII would get one half pant and one full shirt.
Girls from preprimary to class II would get two sets of shirts and tunic frocks. From class III to V, two sets of shirts and skirts. Class VI to VIII, two sets of salwar and kameez with two sets of dupatta.
