Panchkula-Indian Textiles Minister Smriti Irani and Manohar Lal Khattar, CM, Haryana laid the foundation stone of Haryana’s first National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) on 29th December. Though the proposal to develop NIFT was mooted several years back, a tussle between former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Congress’ Ambala MP Kumari Selja reportedly delayed the project.
After being mired in controversies for years decks have finally been cleared for the setting up of Haryana’s first National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) in Panchkula. The construction will start in April 2017. Officials said NIFT would run six degrees courses with annual intake pegged at 230 students and estimated strength would be 850 after four years.
