BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) civic workers (pourakarmikas) are poised to get new uniform as it has planned to deck up its civic workers in new look.

With plans to outfit its 17,000 civic workers with new attire, the corporation has engaged the Karnataka Handloom Corporation for the task of providing new uniform. Alongside the standard uniform, the BBMP is considering including additional accessories such as hats, aprons, and sweaters to its workforce.

In addressing the diverse needs of its employees, the BBMP is taking steps to cater to both male and female civic workers. Women’s uniforms are estimated at a cost of Rs. 4811 each, while the corresponding figure for male counterparts stands at Rs. 3578. This meticulous attention to detail aims to uphold equity and inclusivity within the organization.

Responding to demands from civic workers, particularly those advocating for blue attire, the BBMP is contemplating the incorporation of this specific hue into the uniform palette. Such considerations reflect an acknowledgment of employee preferences and a commitment to fostering a comfortable and conducive working environment.

Financial projections indicate a substantial investment, with an estimated expenditure of Rs. 7,25,67,000 earmarked for this endeavour. With a proposal formally submitted by the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike to the government, anticipation mounts for the forthcoming uniform rollout, signaling a tangible commitment to professionalism and unity among Silicon City’s civic workers.
