‘Give cash for uniforms instead of money transfer’

A week after the Delhi High Court received a response from the MCD stating that over 2 lakh students studying in Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) schools did not receive direct benefit transfers in the 2023-24 academic year, a social jurist has written to the MCD Commissioner proposing that, for the academic session 202425, funds should be disbursed in kind instead of cash/debit.
