The University Grants Commission (UGC) suggests universities in Odisha adopt handloom ceremonial robes for events like convocations, emphasizing national pride and supporting the handloom industry. Some universities, like Fakir Mohan University and Sambalpur University, welcome the recommendation, citing the existing use of handlooms. UGC believes the shift not only fosters Indian identity but also aids rural employment. Various institutions, including Rama Devi Women’s University, express readiness to incorporate handloom in future functions, aligning with the ongoing promotion of handloom uniforms in state universities and colleges.
