Universities Urged To Use Only Handloom Robes For Convocations, Share Photos, Videos

The universities have also been requested to share the action taken in this regard, along with photographs and videos.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has reiterated to universities to consider using ceremonial robes made out of handloom fabrics for special occasions such as convocation, according to officials.

The commission had in 2015 and 2019 sent a communication to universities in this regard.

The UGC has noted that apparel made from handloom fabrics is more comfortable in India's climate and also instils a sense of pride, reported Press Trust of India.
