PWe’re currently in 12th grade so it’s our last 9-10 months in this school.
But the school just launched a new white uniform for no reason just for fridays, we counted and we’ll only be wearing it for 20 or so days and it costs 1,100₹ .
Before this they changed our regular uniform 2 years ago along with the winter blazer, then they AGAIN changed the winter blazer and forced everyone to buy it even if it was 35°C outside.Today they told everyone to not come tomorrow if they can’t buy the uniform and they’re gonna deny entry if someone doesn’t wear it.
We already had a Phe uniform for Saturdays and wednesyso it makes no sense to buy another uniform which is basically the exact same as the regular ones but completely white ,and that only for wearing it for 20ish days.
All of these uniforms are only available at specified stores which probably have a deal with the school.
Most students here aren’t so financially well off to burn off 1k+ rupees.
When we asked them for the reason to buy this they just said that if another more expensive school told us to buy uniforms we’d do it without thinking and that “rules are rules”.
I am thinking of writing an email to cbse along with my friend but i wanted to know if there’s something more effective or if the school has the right to do this.
They didn’t send any official notice regarding this they’re just doing it verbally
Thanks and sorry for any grammatical mistakes.

Pyes that’s what we’re doing right now but they purposefully make us come on fridays because that’s the only day where we have to submit the homework, so it’s just a crazy type of situation, they’ll force us to come on fridays to submit the homework, if we don’t then they harass us, if we do then they send us back home. idk what they’re trying to prove

PBut they don’t take it, saying that it’s not a systematic way to submit before or after the scheduled date .

SSo technically a private school can do this and not face any legal repercussions.
But you can and should name and shame the school in the media, that should have a better chance of having an impact than a legal case for this.
-
PI don’t think name and shame is gonna do anything because many schools do this.
But won’t complaining to cbse do anything ?-
Eif its available elsewhere and you buy from there, the school won’t be able to object. Since you say that it’s not available elsewhere, the school is technically not forcing you to buy from certain vendor but availability is. No cbse or any court can do in this matter.
However, students can write a collective application to principal with signature of all parents and submit a copy to CBSE board. You should clearly mention the minimal use and inability of majority students to pay. This will create enough pressure on school authorities.

PI searched about this and it’s showing that private schools cannot force students to buy from specific vendors.

VLeak this information to media.
Let them pick this story.
Writing to CBSE or taking legal action won’t help as you don’t have time to wait for their resolution.

Ibro contact cbse they will surely take action,
I once mailed them, and within 2-3 days action was taken.
just my suggestion, it can also be that they ignore. but it’s better to try, and try making a twitter(X) post about this, tagging cbse, media, education minister etc.(by an anonymous account).

SIn childhood mine also was white for saturdays, mine was govt school.
This is what gpt have to saySchools often have different uniforms for Saturdays, usually white, for several reasons:
1. Symbolism of White
• White represents discipline, peace, and purity, aligning with the school’s values.
• It gives a sense of freshness and unity, making students feel different from regular weekdays.2. Sports & Activity Days
• Many schools dedicate Saturdays to sports, extracurriculars, and club activities.
• White is commonly used in sports because it reflects heat, keeping students cool.3. Encourages Responsibility
• White uniforms get dirty easily, teaching students to maintain cleanliness and discipline.
• It builds a habit of personal hygiene and self-care.4. Break from Routine
• A different uniform makes Saturdays feel special and less monotonous.
• It signals a more relaxed day, even if studies are still involved.5. Traditional & Historical Reasons
• Many schools follow a long-standing tradition of white uniforms on Saturdays.
• It’s a common practice across India and other countries, especially in schools with military-style discipline.Do you have a Saturday uniform at your school, or are you just curious?

PUPDATE 1:
It’s been two days now, yesterday they sent everyone back home from school classrooms, even those who came from buses, there were only 7 students in the whole 12th classes.Teachers were telling us that even if we have to buy it for 20 days then we have to do it and that going against the school is just gonna be of no use.
I’ve sent an email to the complaint email of cbse and the regional cbse office email.
