Progress of Atal Vardi Yojna Till August 2020
As mentioned above, around 8.3 lakh students of class 1-12 had already received 2 sets of free school uniforms worth Rs. 73.5 crore in 2018-19. Moreover, around 2.5 lakh students of class 1, 6, 9 had already received bags worth Rs. 7.84 crore. The decision to implement HP Atal Vardi Yojna was taken in the cabinet meeting held at Dharamshala chaired by CM Jai Ram Thakur. The free uniform scheme aims to bring about uniformity among students in the classrooms by providing similar uniform to all irrespective of their economic status.
Earlier, the state govt. had also setup CM’s Helpline Number (Mukhyamantri Seva Sankalp Helpline No.) to reach out the citizens pro-actively and facilitate them to provide the helpline facilities through citizen’s call center. This is to ensure that a transparent and accountable system where roles and responsibilities is defined for each stakeholder. Moreover, each citizen should have a single window operation for information, demand, suggestions and grievances.
