National Institute of Fashion Technology has a branch in Kangra Chheb
Village (Himachal Pradesh): Union Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran has inaugurated
a branch of the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) in Chheb village
of Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. It is the 13th branch of the NIFT in the
country. The institute will offer undergraduate programme in five disciplines
viz. Fashion Design, Accessory Design, Textile Design, Fashion Communication and
Apparel Production. Apart from this NIFT, Kangra will also award doctorate degrees
in fashion designing. State Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal and many other state
officials were present during the event. NIFT Kangra has been set up in a record
time of six months. Students said that the institute would help in improving the
standard of education in Himachal Pradesh. "This institute is very important for
Himachal Pradesh because Himachal Pradesh is a little bit lower on the population
side and there is a lack of quality institutes. The number of students which require
quality education are increasing. The fashion industry will definitely benefit
this state," Abhadesh, a student. "It is very important for Kangra as well as
Himachal Pradesh that such a good institution has come up here. The NIFT people
and the Government have chosen this place to set up such a huge institute," said
Nidhi, another student. State-run NIFT has emerged as the leading institute of
fashion designing and management in India. -August
