National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT)
Governement Projects
Besides conducting regular education programmes for young men and women seeking a professional career in the Fashion and Garment industry, NIFT also undertakes Design Development and Professional Consultancy Projects sponsored by the Public and Private sectors. Involvement of final-year students as team-members of relevant projects provides them an invaluable opportunity of working on real-life situations, as also in some cases bring them in contact with the prospective employers and helps their placement. Documentation of each Project becomes a major resource of academic programmes as well as guidelines for such projects in future.
NIFT being a national institution has undertaken major initiatives in Cluster Development of Handicraft & Handloom sectors in rural areas towards Design Development, Technological Upgradation and Skill Development in order to assist the craftsmen in economic sustainability. The Government of Gujarat has sponsored these projects.
