Kerala a state which holds the highest literacy rate,way above the country’s standard for men and women is way ahead with its mentality than just its education. You will be astonished by this intellectual idea of unisex uniforms initiated by a government lower primary school in Valayanchirangara, near Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district in Kerala.
The school took a step forward with the idea of breaking all gender norms and barriers and introduced the idea of gender- neutral uniform for all students. A three fourth shorts and shirt is now the dress code for all students irrespective of the gender.
School uniforms which sounds so simple and not so important to be discussed, plays a crucial role when comes to girl child. The skirts ,frocks or salwar hinders them from performing activities that they want, it puts a limit to the things that they can do. It makes them feel like even if they have their own wings they cannot fly high.
With a frame of mind to encourage gender neutrality in a state which is known for its perfect balance of Modernism and Traditionalism with having higher equality for women, this dress code was planned way back in 2018 and was also introduced to the lower primary section of school.
But the idea was to promote gender inclusive activities so that all children’s can enjoy the same level of freedom in any school activities, with this radiating objective the dress code was again promoted for all higher classes too. The idea was initiated in 2019 but got delayed till 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. Later it was decided that the dress code will be implemented to all students from November 2021 when the schools will be reopened.
The school with a total of 746 students where there were 378 girls, usher in this concept of promoting gender justice, equality and awareness with the help of teachers and parents. The dress code was formally introduced at a parent-teacher meet and it was highly supported by them.
The school where mostly all the girls came from a poor family, their parents were ready to pay extra money for new uniforms, the mothers appreciated this idea when they felt this will make their daughters feel more safe and secure in the school environment.
A small but big move which was started by a few village people, teachers, and the parents of students resulted in becoming a quiet revolution , now called as ‘the ‘three-fourth revolution’.
C Raji, former Headmistress of school said-
This is a school with a good vision. Gender equality was the main subject when we were talking about many factors to implement in the school. Therefore, uniforms came to mind. When I was thinking about what to do with it, I could see that girls face a lot of problems when it comes to skirts. The idea of a change was discussed with everyone. 90 percent of parents supported this at that time. The kids were happy too. I feel very happy and proud that this is being discussed now.
With this great initiative of three-fourth pants, every girl will feel more safe and above that more confident while playing outdoor games. The school also noticed a change in the participation of girls in outdoor physical activities, more and more girls have started taking part in outdoor and sports activities. This concept of three-fourths will give all the girls more opportunities and freedom that they deserve. This will also a create a environment where boys will also learn to treat girls as they treat their male friends. School with equal opportunity for every student will create a big impact in the society.

Nimbahera a beautiful small town located in Chittorgarh district, Rajasthan is famously known for its stone. A town with an population of nearly 78,123 is around 350 km south-west of the state capital, Jaipur.
Nimbahera is not a very prominent place among tourists mainly because it is not very well explored by many. But this small town holds attractive places like, ‘Rock painting of Dhareshwar’ and ‘Ram Dwara Temple’.
This small stone town was named after the river Nimba and it came under the princely state of Tonk but later after independence it was joined together with Chittorgarh district.
The town has largest Krishi Upaj Mandi (Agricultural products market) and in 2009 The Krishi Upaj Mandi akola become the first and only district mandi with direct sale and purchase of commodities, wheat, corn, soybeans, and all other major raw food product.
Nimbahera slowly got into little limelight because of ‘Nimbahera Stone’ , a kind of Limestone which is used as a building material and raw material in cement manufacturing, thus making it a suitable destination for cement industries. Limestone is one of the biggest source of employment for people in Nimbahera.
The day is not very far when Nimbahera will become one of the highest cement manufacturing centres in Asia. It is expected that after the completion of its upcoming cement projects, Nimbahera will become the cement hub of India as well as Asia.
The town with many small scale as well as medium scale industries including fertilizer, soyabean oil processing, and plastic is now just known as an emerging business place but let me introduce you to a new face of Nimbahera which will give you a new vision to see this place.
Have you ever noticed the cement towers of Nimbahera? If not let’s take a look in the pictures, isn’t it resembling with something?
Let me answer your questions, yes it is the big cement towers seems like a living image of Malaysia’s famous Petronas Twin Towers. How surprisingly unique it sounds, a cement tower looking exactly like the world’s tallest twin towers.
Petronas Twin Towers is a famous tourist destination and has been prominently featured in many series and movies all across the world. Several scenes of the Bollywood film Don: The Chase Begins Again were also filmed in the Petronas Towers and its skybridge. But who knew India has it’s own Twin Towers in the form of cement factory.
A small town surrounded by Industries gives a phenomenal view after sunsets, if you are in Rajasthan or near Nimbahera visit this place once to get a beautiful view of these towers. Nimbahera is well connected through both rail and road and it lies on the railway line connecting Ajmer to Ratlam.
