In a move to enhance equality and discipline among students, Uttar Pradesh's Higher Education Minister Yogendra Upadhyaya announced the introduction of mandatory uniforms in state-run colleges and universities. This decision follows directives from Governor Anandiben Patel and will be implemented in phases. The first phase will focus on government, government-aided, and self-financed institutions, while state-run universities will follow in the second phase. Institutions will have the flexibility to choose the color of uniforms. Upadhyaya emphasized that the dress code aims to create a homogeneous student community, reducing feelings of inferiority and superiority that can arise from differences in attire.
