The correct answer is: School uniforms to children.
The Mukhyamantri Balak Evam Balika Poshak Yojana (MPBPY) is a scheme launched by the Government of Rajasthan to provide free school uniforms to children from economically weaker sections of society. The scheme was launched in 2008 and has benefited over 1.5 crore children so far.
The scheme provides free school uniforms to children studying in government and government-aided schools up to class 8. The uniforms are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. The scheme is implemented by the Department of School Education, Government of Rajasthan.
