The Jharkhand government’s recent move to change the school uniforms of students has accused the opposition of having a political agenda. The color scheme of the uniform has been changed from maroon and cream white to green, which is the color of the party flag of the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha.
State Education Minister and senior JMM leader Jagarnath Mahto shared that he gave his approval to the proposal to change the school uniform after Jharkhand presented it to him. education According to news agency PTI, Project Council (JEPC)
The present uniform is the same for all the students of the government schools of Jharkhand. The shirt is cream-white in colour, while the bottom is maroon. After the new move, the uniforms of over 42 lakh students studying in around 35,000 government schools will be changed.
The color of the school uniform has been changed to green for students from middle school to higher secondary. Primary school students will be wearing dark blue and pink uniforms.
While Mahto has said that green is soothing to the eyes and represents the environment, the opposition BJP claims that the move is politically motivated. The flag of the JMM party is green in color and has a white bow and arrow. The Hemant Soren-led JMM is in power in Jharkhand in alliance with the Congress.

Earlier, over 35,000 government school buildings were given a fresh coat of green and white colours. While it said that the color was decided after the recommendations of experts, the BJP claimed that it was associated with the JMM party flag and was chosen to send a political message.
“The color coding of the government is nothing but an act of sending a political message. Many schools are running without a headmaster and there is a shortage of teachers. The government should first focus on improving the quality of education and developing the infrastructure of schools,” BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdev told PTI.
