*An informal caution on ‘dress code’ now becomes an official rule for Kolkata-based college* *Kolkata, Aug 31 (IANS): *What was just an informal “dress code” caution for the students getting admitted in a college in Kolkata till last year, has now become official for the students selected for admission this year. Students getting admission at the Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose this year will have to give an undertaking is a specified format this year that they will have to wear “normal civil dress” and avoid sporting dress- items like “torn-jeans” while coming within the college- campus. A similar undertaking will have to be given by the guardians of the students concerned in the matter. The principal of the college Purna Chandra Maity is quite candid about his explanation justifying this new rule imposed by the college authorities. “Till last year, we had been attaching a notice on the dress-code at the notice board in the corridor of the college. But this year, we want the system to take an official form and hence we are taking an undertaking from the students getting admission as well as their guardians on strictly adhering to the dress code. The college is meant for studies and not for fashion-parade,” he said. College insiders said that since the informal “dress-code” caution in form of a notice board had not been working out with the students’ continuing violating the dress- code norms, the principal took the decision to introduce the “undertaking” format this time. *IANS* *src/*
