RSS has also gone for change in the colour of socks to be worn by its volunteers, replacing the old khaki with dark brown, to go with the brown trousers they would now wear, with white shirt and black cap. The traditional bamboo stick will, however, remain part of the uniform.
Volunteers in the northern and eastern states, which witness harsh winter, will also wear dark brown sweaters.
Orders for the first lot of one lakh such sweaters have already been placed.
