Bhopal college bans female teachers from wearing western outfits | | The administration of a college in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal city has banned female teachers from wearing western clothes
and the traditional 'salwar-kameez'. Sarojini Naidu Girls College teachers have
been asked to wear only saris on campus as per a circular issued by the college
administration. "Some professors come to college wearing designer salwar, or jeans
and kurta. And there should be a difference between students and teachers, and
as sari for females is a symbol of Indian dress and culture, therefore in educational
institutions, especially in our Nutan College (former name of Sarojini Naidu College),
we made it mandatory," said Shobhna Vajpayee Maru, the Principal. Lakshmi Pandit,
a professor, said she is happy with the decision, as she believes teachers should
not dress the same way as students. "There is a personality of a teacher. You
are standing wearing anything, or jeans that look vulgar, that is not right. Even
students do not respect you as they think. So, this is very important," said Pandit.
Male professors have also been asked to wear only formal clothing on campus.
