"Under this scheme, 42,34,222 kits will be distributed to Government school students studying from class 1 to 10 standard. These kits will be distributed across the state at an estimated cost of Rs 650 crore. The kit consists of three pairs of uniforms, one pair of shoes, two pairs of socks, prescribed textbooks, notebooks, a belt, and a school bag," it said.
