NIFT to design uniform for DDA employees

Seeking a corporate image makeover, DDA has engaged National Institute of Fashion Technology to design uniform for its nearly 7,000 staff.
Delhi Development Authority has been providing uniform for its group-D employees, staff car drivers, gardeners, security guards and Peons and group-C and group-B front desk staff.
"Till now there was no uniformity in colour of the uniform for a particular category and the purchase was done only from government emporiums.
"Now, in a bid to make a corporate image of the Delhi Development Authority, it has been decided that the uniform/dress for the approximately 7,000 eligible staff must be of a reputed brand and contemporary style. And, uniformity in colour, design is also maintained for each category," DDA said in a statement today.

The urban body said, National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) has been engaged as consultant for suggesting design, colour and cloth of the uniform.
"Immediately after NIFT finalises the colour, design, and other details, tenders will be floated from open market i.E. directly from authorised dealers, mills, government emporiums, and other places," it said.
Last year, DDA had redone sections of its office interiors in its bid to send out a corporate-style functioning image to people.
