The first option Beri gave is based on the ethos of India based on tribal art. Fashion designer Ritu Beri, who was roped in by the Railway Ministry to design a new uniform for railwaymen, on Tuesday offered four themes based on Indian culture and ethos which can be used to come up with new clothing. The idea behind the new uniform, the Ministry said, is to instill a sense of pride and belonging in railwaymen. 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. A committee will be set up to evaluate design, study different options, pricing and suitability, an official statement said.
