The Uttar Pradesh government is likely to transfer money for uniforms, sweaters, shoes and school bags to students in government and government-aided schools by the end of November. This year the amount will be sent to the parent’s bank account. In the second phase of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), this amount will be provided to 60 lakh children.
In the first phase of DBT, about 1 crore 20 lakh students have got Rs 1100. There are 1 crore 80 lakh students enrolled in the schools affiliated to the Basic Education Council.

The Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan is also collecting details of children who told that the money came into their account but then went back. To deal with this situation, the administration is training teachers and principals.
The government has directed them to download the DBT app again and add the contact details of the parents. This will help in verification of documents. The app will also show whether a bank account is linked with Aadhaar or not. If the bank account is not linked, the officials have been asked to do it at the earliest.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched this scheme on 6 November. This amount is provided for the students of class 1 to 8 enrolled in government and government aided primary schools.
An official statement said, “For uniforms, shoes, socks, sweaters and school bags, the parents of students of classes 1 to 8 studying in government primary and aided schools will be given money directly into their accounts . About Rs 1,800 crore will be spent on this.” Meanwhile, the state government has also decided to provide scholarships and tuition fee reimbursement to 15 lakh students of class 11th and 12th from November 30.
