Discussing the<br />

country’s future!<br />

Politics isn’t something just a few among us discuss<br />

and debate. Contrary to public perception that the young<br />

generation is not serious about the current state of affairs<br />

of India, debates happen among the youth these<br />

days on the topic of election much more than ever. Take<br />

a look at one such instance here. The Fashion Communication<br />

(4th Semester) students of Institute of Apparel<br />

Management (IAM) based in Gurgaon have launched<br />

an Online Video Channel ‘Political Papad’ with a tagline<br />

‘Kadak, Taze Bol ka Dose’.<br />

According to Sureena who coordinated the shoots,<br />

“as part of our Brand Building and Management course,<br />

we wanted to do something different. And this idea came<br />

up. It is timely too! We decided to work on an Online Video<br />

Channel based on Indian Democracy and its Politics.<br />

Festive Fever:<br />

work of art<br />

During Diwali, students of Apparel Design and Merchandising<br />

of Institute of Apparel Management developed<br />

Salwaar Kameezes, Duppatas and Anarkalis as a part<br />

of their Textile course to participate in Festival Fever an<br />

exhibition organised by Select City Walk in Saket, New<br />

Delhi on 30th- 31st October 2013.<br />

This was part of a class project “to design festive<br />

suits for real customers”. Students designed festive ethnic<br />

women wear keeping in mind that at the end they<br />

have to sell them to the targeted customers.<br />

“Students also conducted a market survey before beginning<br />

the design work and confirmed how to deal with<br />

customers, how to convince them, negotiating and sealing<br />

the final deal on the final sale. At the exhibition students<br />

performed well and could sell 50% of stock ranging<br />

from Rs-3000 to 5000/- which was indeed great<br />

motivation for the budding entrepreneurs” Ms. Rakhi<br />

Mittal, Assistant Professor said.<br />
