India is a conservative country and this is largely reflected in clothing traditions. Volunteers should be aware of Indian cultural norms and how this affects dress choices. By following a similar dress code as the locals you will show greater respect and be better accepted into the community.

Women should wear full length trousers or skirts and sleeved tops, to avoid showing shoulders or cleavage. Tight clothing, vest tops and shorts are not recommended for men or women and clothes must be tidy and presentable when going to work areas.

As these restrictions on clothing exist, more time will be made for female volunteers to purchase an Indian dress to wear to work areas and male volunteers may also purchase kurta pajama (tunic and wide trousers). When at iSPiiCE volunteering in India base camp clothing is more relaxed.
