The Karnataka government on Wednesday withdrew its 2022 order on uniforms and dress code in educational institutions and replaced it with a fresh order allowing students to wear ‘limited’ traditional and faith-based symbols along with prescribed uniforms in schools and colleges across the State, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa said.
The move comes weeks after three students at a college in Koramangala were asked to remove their janivara (sacred thread) by authorities before entering the exam hall on April 24 during the Common Entrance Test (CET).
