training organized at NIFT ! On May 10, 2007, 25
rural women tightened up their seat belts and embarked on
a journey never taken before; a journey that began at the
National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) Gandhinagar.
At NIFT, they learnt the art of sewing from the veterans in
the field, thanks to the efforts taken by Tata Chemicals Society
for Rural Development (TCSRD). TCSRD has organized this training
second year in a row for the rural artisans of Okhamandal.

At NIFT, the women learnt the art of product designing,
cutting, stitching, quality parameters and everything else that
made them an expert in the art of apparel making. The training has
equipped them with the skills to make high quality apparels and
give the well-known brands a run for their money.
For 21-year-old Poonam, this was a memorable experience. “Before
leaving home, I had no idea what NIFT be like. 45 days at NIFT has
completely changed my outlook towards life. I know today for sure
that there is no room for anything but the best in the industry.
The long sessions from NIFT’S faculty, the constant interaction
with the students and working with the great infrastructure has
all added value.”
Poonam’s thoughts are shared by one and all in the group.
When Khatija Ben left her 12 years old daughter to undergo the training,
she had apprehensions. After undergoing the rigorous training, she
is glad she took the decision. Armed with the new skills, she is
confident of a better future for her daughter and herself. |
