Students and faculty of Aringar Anna Government Arts and Science College at Villupuram celebrated dhoti day on Monday. Everyone in the college wore dhotis and saris on the occasion. Co-optex arranged a small stall on the college campus and sold handloom dhotis and saris to the students and staff.

“Based on a request from Co-optex, we arranged this dhoti day in our college to create awareness about handloom clothes. It portrays our ancient clothing culture,” says P Kannika, Principal of the college.

She said that this would help the weavers, who were suffering due to poverty. She thanked all the students and staff members for their cooperation.
