While speaking at the event, Dinesh highlighted what apparel industry really expects from NIFT students… “In apparel industry there is lot of scope for young generation and they should not think otherwise. There are many examples where a minor change in methods gave bigger results,” he said and also shared one example, “Shahi Exports had a problem in thread joint and thread breakage in denim styles and we did Bobbin Project with two NIFT students on the same, and the company got fantastic results.” Sharma also emphasized that students should understand and apply the concept of Industrial Engineering (IE) for enhanced productivity as without productivity we can’t survive in the market. “IE should be covered as a ‘core’ subject in the courses of NIFT,” he concluded.
NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology) has 15 centres across India and is the most famous fashion institute of the country under Ministry of Textiles.
