Assistant Nursing Superintendents will wear cyan blue meaning light blue dress. The Deputy Nursing Superintendent will wear a white sari and dress. The collar of the arpan in it will have Sambalpuri chit.
Similarly, the male Deputy Nursing Superintendent’s white jacket will have a Sambaluri spot on the collar. The decision was taken after discussions with the Odisha Nursing Staff Union.
Ashwini Kumar Das, editor of Rajya Nasing Maha Sangh said, “We thank the state government for changing the dress code and welcome this decision of the government.” The 10-point demand that we made to the government was also a major demand. The government has fulfilled it today. More than 15,000 employees in Odisha will benefit. While the government has fulfilled our demands, we think it will fulfil other women’s demands as well. The government has made this dress code after consulting with us.
