Singh further said, "It is a matter of discipline. Not only students and teachers, but principals should follow the dress code too. If teachers dress modestly, it makes a good impression on students. Then, students will also follow their teachers. This order is applicable to female teachers as well. They need to wear sari or salwar-kameez." Yogi Adityanath Government to Help Dalit Groups in Uttar Pradesh to Become Entrepreneurs.
