DDA Staff to have new dress designed by NIFT

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 and 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.

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.
