Digital Desk: The Bihar government has directed state education department employees not to wear casual outfits such as jeans and T-shirts in the office as the ongoing practice goes against the culture at workplaces.

In an order issued on Wednesday, the education department's director (administration) expressed displeasure with staff wearing T-shirts and jeans to offices.

"It has been noticed that officials and employees of the department are coming to offices in attires which are contrary to the office culture. Wearing casuals in the office by officials or other employees is against the work culture in the office," the order states.

"Therefore, all officials and employees should come to education department offices in formal dresses only. No casual dresses, especially jeans and T-shirts, are allowed in the offices of the education department with immediate effect," says the order which is in the possession of PTI.

Notably, the Saran district magistrate barred all government employees from wearing jeans and T-shirts at government workplaces in April.

They were told to wear formal dress and carry identity cards.

Earlier, in 20219, the Bihar government banned wearing jeans and T-shirts at the state secretariat, irrespective of the employees' rank.

The goal was to maintain "office decorum." Reportedly, the government had instructed state secretariat employees to dress simply, comfortably, and in light colours.
