Here's something new that train travellers can look forward to. Not too long from now, the Indian Railways staff will be donning a new uniform designed by renowned fashion designer Ritu Beri.
The fashion designer was recently roped in by the Ministry of Railways to design a new uniform for railwaymen. Now, Ritu Beri has offered four themes to the ministry that are based on Indian culture and ethos--which can be used to develop the new clothing of the railway staff.
The idea behind the new uniform, the Ministry said, is to instill a sense of pride and belonging in railwaymen.
The first option Beri gave is based on the ethos of India based on tribal art, while the second one is based on rustic coins and currency of India's 'golden period' and the third is based on the legacy of the erstwhile nawabs who ruled this country for years.
Inspired by the pop art, the final option has been classified as vibrant soul of India. It fuses everyday elements of culture, business, music and entertainment.
At a presentation made before Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu and the Railway Board, Beri suggested running a competition to seek feedback from citizens and staff on different options.
Prabhu now plans to carry out consultations with stakeholders, including with the unions. Also, a committee will be set up to evaluate design, study different options, pricing and suitability, said an official statement.
