UGC has written to HEIs regarding the introduction of Khadi products during felicitations.
"The Higher Education Institutions in the process of teachingJearning, organize seminars, conferences, workshops, and other events at regular intervals, and on such occasions, the guests/ dignitaries are usually felicitated by presenting them with shawl/angavastram/ bouquet/ potted plants, etc," reads the official notification.
It is suggested that in keeping with the thrust on Aatmairbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India), I(hadi products such as angavastram, shawl, etc. which are eco-friendly may be used for felicitation purposes. Such a practice while reaffirming our links with freedom struggle, also showcases our appreciation for our nation's rich textile tradition. Similarly, books may also be considered for presentation on such occasions to reflect our commitment to knowledge and learning and as a way to disseminate our rich literary culture to a wider audience. Further, the incorporation of these practices would help in promoting and empowering our local artisans and also contribute to making the books of local authors accessible to a wider set of people, added the Commission.
The HEIs are requested to consider incorporating these practices while felicitating guests/ dignitaries during seminars, conferences, workshops, and other such events in your institutions, said UGC.
