The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) plans to offer free haircuts to 1.24 lakh students enrolled in its 372 primary schools across the city as part of a “swachhata campaign”. Under the initiative, once a month, students will be offered free haircuts at schools irrespective of gender, caste or religion.
The AMC school board has approved a year-long agreement with a Pune-based private beauty school, International School of Aesthetics and Spa, popularly known as ISAS Beauty School that runs a branch in Ahmedabad for the initiative. Under the agreement, ISAS has agreed to cut students’ hair after prior appointments and coordination with the authorities and with school principals ensuring no educational activities are disrupted.
Administrative Officer of the AMC School Board LD Desai calls it an initiative under the “swachhata campaign”.
