Around 2.5 lakh government school teachers in Madhya Pradesh will soon have a compulsory dress code. An order coming from the state's education ministry, says that all government teachers will have to wear jackets, designed by National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), with a nameplate saying "Rashtra Nirmata". The order comes after the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government had said that over a lakh schools in the state had no electricity, over 17,000 government schools had only one teacher and over 50,000 teaching posts were lying vacant.
