In an attempt to introduce equality among students and induce discipline in them, the Himachal Pradesh Government has introduced a strict dress code for girls and boys studying in government schools. Himachal Pradesh government school dress code has some major talking points as it bans female students from applying nail polish, wearing tight-fitting clothes, and even bans tattoos on their bodies. For boys, the Himachal Pradesh school guidelines ban them from applying gel or colour on their hair. As per reports, from the new academic session, children will come to school wearing the dress prescribed by the department only.
As per new Himachal Pradesh dress code guidelines, you will not be allowed to come to school even wearing fashionable pants with tight or excessively open seams. The student who comes dressed in fashionable attire will not be allowed to enter the school. Girls with body tattoos and nail polish will not be allowed to come to school. Girl students will have to wear long shirts (Kameez) up to one inch below the knees.
