2. Khadi Uniform: Healthy practice to develop National Integrity and support small scale industry

Objectives of the Practice :

The main objective behind the implementation of khadi dress in our institute is to inculcate a sense of patriotism and love for our own culture in students. Though khadi is remembered as a fabric of freedom, it is still perceived as unfashionable by many especially youth. Therefore, this attempt has been made to discover the awareness about khadi among college youth and also to promote khadi as a fashion fabric. This practice is made to develop national integrity and aware the students about freedom fight movements and role of khadi culture at that movement.

The Context :

Acceptance of khadi as fashion fabric by well known fashioners has forced institute to take note of khadi fabric as uniform for all the members of institute including students, teaching and non-teaching staff. The main challenging issues considered here is khadi was meant to be a supplementary industry to agriculture, a crucial element in a self sustaining economy. It greatly supports the rural artisans to earn their livelihood; thus strengthening the rural economy. This area experiences maximum temperature during summer and cold climate during winter season hence, khadi keeps wearer warm in winter as well as cool in summer season. Therefore, white khadi uniform was introduced by the board of management by consulting the heads of the institutions.

The Practice :

Along with academic studies, students should be aware of various small scale industries such as khadi, silk, agriculture industry and their role in Indian economy. A country remains poor in wealth both materially and intellectually, if it does not develop its handicraft and its industries and lives a lazy parasitic life by importing all the manufactured articles from outside. Therefore, it is an attempt made to support the development of khadi industry and agriculture. This practice was adopted by the due recommendation of IQAC based on the suggestions given by the stake holders.

The small survey was conducted by the students of NSS and NCC during the academic year 2013. This practice was implemented for all the teaching, non-teaching and students and they need to wear white and white khadi uniform on every Monday to develop peace and equality among all the stakeholders of the institute. This initiative was extended to all the institutes run by the Sri Gavisiddeshwar Vidyavardha Trust, Koppal, in the subsequent year. It was initially difficult to implement, because readymade dress supply for all the students was not possible but later board of management has called various garment agents and among them owner of Shankar Readymade Dress centre, Koppal, was agreed to supply the material to all the students every year. This practice created healthy environment among the students and teachers in the campus.

Evidence of Success :

Use of Khadi uniform as a best practice has brought tremendous change among the students. This unique practice created happiness and equality in all the stake holders in learning activities. This practice motivated our students to visit small scale industries to learn the importance those industry in the economy of rural peoples. Students of the college have visited hair processing unit, hand craft mills, milling machine industry located at Bhagyanagar-Koppal and Kukanoor industry.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required :

The Khadi uniform for all the staff members was introduced to develop national integrity and to support khadi industry. But it was bit difficult to provide uniform for all the stakeholders at a time. This practice helps us to maintain uniqueness of the institute and attracted many students to the college.
