Guwahati, Oct 7: In a move to celebrate India’s rich handloom heritage, Mizoram University has directed all students, faculty, and staff to wear handloom-based garments at least once a week.
The initiative, approved by the Vice-Chancellor, aims to foster greater appreciation for traditional textiles within academic life.
According to a notification issued by Assistant Registrar C. Lalfakkimi, the directive—framed under the Ministry of Education’s guidelines—encourages everyone on campus to don handloom attire preferably on Wednesdays as part of the university’s cultural practice.
The university has also emphasized digital outreach to amplify the message. Departments and administrative sections have been asked to promote handloom garments on official social media platforms and through various communication channels. Additionally, events and visual campaigns will be organised to highlight handloom use and raise awareness.
Deans and heads of departments have been tasked with ensuring the smooth implementation of the initiative and encouraging active participation among students and staff.
