SILVER JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS
National Institute of Fashion Technology
has emerged as a leader in fashion
education with the ability to integrate
knowledge, academic freedom, critical
independence, creative thinking. A history
of being in existence for 25 years stands
as a testimony to our fundamentals where
academic excellence lies at the core. The
institute has stood as a beacon of serious
critical engagement, a key enabler in
developing competent professionals.
Through its journey, NIFT has been
committed to excellence in fashion
education. Celebrating ‘this’ commitment,
at NIFT New Delhi, the academic calendar
for 2011 was intercepted with a series of
events that marked the institute’s 25 years
in existence. The celebrations took off with
the three day annual fest ‘Spectrum’. The
event was pitched at a mega scale with the
binding theme ‘Tagged Green’. The theme
was crafted in sync with the vision of the
institute wherein most events looked at
the larger question of human importance
of incorporating CSR initiatives. Taking the
jubilee celebrations ahead, for Spectrum
‘2011, special souvenirs were created
for the industry sponsors, event partners
and jury members for specialized events.
Amongst other events, in view of the
institute’s existence of 25 years, intercollegiate
events such as ‘Maatra Rupaiye
Pachhis’ gave the students a platform to
creatively express themselves within the
limited budget cap of Rs. 25/-.
The journey of the institute through the
25 years was re-visited in a presentation
by Dean (A) during the Orientation
Programme for fresh batches of incoming
students at NIFT, New Delhi. The welcome
kits for the incoming batches contained
a diary and a bag that were engrained
with the Logo marking the silver jubilee
celebrations of the institute.
