Saddled with stock, school uniform makers in TN's Tiruchy district resist design change
TIRUCHY: Garment manufacturers in Puthanatham near Manapparai in Tiruchy district have urged the state to defer the proposed change in school uniform design to 2028-29, stating that they already hold substantial stock of both fabric and stitched uniforms for 2026-27 and 2027-28, and any changes before that would lead to losses.
A month ago, School Education Minister A Rajmohan had indicated that the government was considering changes to the existing uniform design.
According to members of Puthanatham Readymade Garments Manufacturers Welfare Association, the cluster comprises over 50 manufacturing units supporting 400 families.
