EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To reach a port we must set sail- Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift. said Franklin
D. Roosevelt once. The port in the context of this report will be professionalizing
the various components of designing, manufacturing, marketing and management
processes of the fashion supply chain. And the sail will be a Campus of National
Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) at Panchkula, Haryana.
This report emphasises on the need for quality education in the areas of fashion
technology to generate a cadre of creative professionals, inspired designers, and
motivated technologists & managers. The National Institute of Fashion Technology
was set-up in 1986 at New Delhi by the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India as
a registered society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. By enacting the NIFT
Act, 2006 the parliament of India accorded statutory status to the Institute for the
promotion and development of education and research in the area of fashion
technology with the President of India as the Visitor. The Institute has been
empowered to award degrees.
Haryana, one of the richest states of Indian union has fertile land and vibrant
industrial environment. It also has a thriving textile market particularly, of handloom
and home furnishings. The arts and crafts of Haryana include a variety of styles and
reflect the rich cultural heritage of the State. Different forms of embroidery such as
phulkari, bagh, weaving of durries, chope, etc are popular. These masterpieces are
known all over the country for their splendid aesthetic values. Haryana boasts of a
robust handloom tradition, especially in Panipat, which is a famous as a centre for
rugs and is a major textile town of India.
On 19th July 2012, Shri Anand Sharma, Hon. Minister of Textiles, Government of
India in a public function, attended by the Chief Minister of Haryana, announced his
decision to establish a NIFT campus at Panchkula. The Board of Governors NIFT, in
its meeting held on 23rd July 2012 approved in principle, establishment of a NIFT
Campus at Panchkula. The Government of Haryana has identified 20 acres of land
for NIFT at village Panchayat, Manakpur Nanakchand, Block Pinjore, District
Panchkula. The Department of Technical Education, Government of Haryana is a
nodal department for the implementation of the project.
The present report is a culmination of the suggestions and feedback gathered from
senior officials of the Governments of Haryana, Punjab and union territory
Chandigarh, faculty members and experts of the fashion and textiles industry. The
report is an assessment of the role that has been and will be played by NIFT in
bringing a paradigm shifts in industry trends, industry demands through graduating
students. The Panchkula Campus will offer undergraduate, postgraduate level
programmes in areas of fashion technology through School of Design, School of
Fashion Technology & Management and Centre for Languages, Humanities and Basic
& Social Sciences.
I

It will also offer Certificate Programmes through its continuing education

programmes offered by the proposed Centre for Industrial, Artisan, and Crafts
persons Interaction (CIACI).
At peak strength, a total of 670 students will be registered for the full-time
undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in 2019-20. The institute will be headed
by a Campus Director, supported by the administrative and academic staff.
Approximately 3.5 lacs square feet of constructed area will provide space for
academic blocks housing School of Design, School of Fashion Technology &
Management; Centre for Languages, Humanities and Basic & Social Sciences,
Handicraft and Handloom Museums. The Campus will have a unique and state-of-theart Resource Centre (RC) housing a library, information centre, design studio, and
handicraft & handloom museum and space for CIACI. RC Users will have access to a
variety of both print and non-print knowledge resources; wherein it will actively
contribute to knowledge creation through applied research. Apart from generating an
exhaustive digital emulation of all the resources, the Resource Centre will have a
design studio and a handicraft and handloom museum gallery, to act as a repository of
design based information for the usage of the state. Apart from administrative,
recreational blocks, the Campus will also provide residential facilities for the faculty,
staff and students.
The permanent campus of NIFT Panchkula is expected to be ready by 2016 which
would be funded by the Government of Haryana. The State Government has also
agreed to meet the revenue deficit till the campus become financially viable. NIFT has
agreed to the State Governments demand of 20% domicile quota within the existing
available seats. The Campus will be operationalized as soon as the required
infrastructure is in place.
As per the estimates, the project would require approximately ` 138.11 Crores which
includes ` 93.74 Crores towards the construction of permanent campus and ` 17.84
Crores to meet revenue deficit for the initial years. It is expected that the Campus will
achieve breakeven point by 2020-21 with revenues generated from the fees of six
regular programmes. However, it will be contingent upon the actual receipts and
expenditures.
The report elaborates on the need for collaborative working of both the industry and
academia in order to enhance performance. With this perspective, the faculty will take
business and industry learning into their teaching system, in an appropriate and
balanced way. In turn, the industry would need to invite inputs on work-life issues and
common grounds. This healthy Institute-Industry-Interaction (I3) will be promoted
and achieved by NIFTs Continuing Education Policy and NIFT Consultancy and
Project Guidelines.

Lastly, the report enlists the proposed cost of the NIFT Panchkula Campus, details of
proposed built-up area, capital expenditure, revenue generation and revenue shortfall.
It concludes with the focus on professional education for potential employment
opportunities in the organized large and medium scale industrial sectors.

CHAPTER - I
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY
1.1

National Institute of Fashion Technology was set-up in 1986 at New Delhi by

the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India as a registered society under the
Societies Registration Act, 1860. Today across the globe, NIFT is
acknowledged as a premier institute for imparting in various areas of fashion
education including design, management and technology. Every year NIFT
offers professionals in the industry to take up leadership positions in the
national and international fashion spectrum. NIFT has set academic standards
and excelled in the thought leadership by providing a pool of creative genius
and technical competence.

1.2

The NIFT Act 2006 has empowered NIFT to award degrees. The statutory
status given to the Institute, with the President of India as the Visitor, NIFT
has been saddled with huge responsibility.
The Vision
To emerge as a centre of excellence and
innovation proactively catalyzing growth of
fashion business through leadership in
professional education with concern for social
and human values.

1.3

To fulfil its vision, the NIFT has casted its mission To establish NIFT as a
centre of excellence in fashion business education, a nodal agency for
benchmarking fashion education in India and apex body for training of
trainees in fashion business education. The NIFT strives to position itself as
one of the best fashion education institutions in the world. Undoubtedly, such
institutions are the ones which are autonomous; financially viable; able to
attract the best talent for teaching; attract the best students; able to get the best
companies for better recruitment and employability of its graduates; produce
high quality research; and generate a body of work aimed at achieving overall
social good.

1.4

The NIFT rears its talented students to become highly competent professionals
in the area of fashion design, technology and management, capable of
providing enlightened leadership to the Indian fashion business industry with
humility and sensitivity.

To nurture such leaders the objectives of the NIFT include

1.5

(i)

Create an environment of continuous learning with holistic

interdisciplinary appreciation of various components of value chain
and the ground reality.

(ii)

Instil a passion for academic excellence with commitment to team

building, sense of humility & sensitivity, inspired by our aesthetics and
craft legacy.

Empowering the crafts community to retain regional characteristics

and position their cultural identity in the global market.

Since its inception in 1986, the NIFT has played a pioneering role in
envisioning and evolving fashion business education in the country. Through
its network of fifteen professionally managed centres, it has played a
leadership role in catalyzing the Indian fashion industry in adopting and
adapting new design methodologies, manufacturing technologies and
merchandising practices. Over these past 27 years, NIFT graduates have made
significant contributions as change agents to shape the growth of fashion
business in India.

NIFTs Fifteen Campuses in India

With growing demand for specialized manpower from the fashion business
industry across the country, the Institute expanded its operations by establishing
six additional Campuses at Bangalore, Chennai, Gandhinagar, Hyderabad, Kolkata
and Mumbai in collaboration with the respective State Governments during 199598. Later during 2007 to 2010, eight more Campuses were established in Bhopal,
Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Kangra, Kannur, Patna, Raebareli and Shillong.

1.6

Currently, through its 15 Campuses, the NIFT offers education to a large body
of students as evident from Table I below.

In 2002, NIFT realised that if it intends to play a pioneering role to help and
support business competitiveness of Indian fashion industry in a global
context, its educational offerings should be re-constructed to suit the changing
business context and to move towards a 10+2+4 pattern in consonance with
the standardized global format for professional education in the university
system. Its educational offerings now encompass the following types of
programmes:
(i)

Professional Academic Programmes are offered as full-time

undergraduate and graduate programmes in various areas of design,
technology and management of 4 and 2 years duration respectively.

These programmes are offered through 10 courses leading to the

conferment of professional qualifications equivalent to a Bachelor and
Masters Degree.
(ii)

Continuing Education Programmes are for professionals who upgrade

their skill and knowledge at weekends or in the evening. These courses
are of varying duration for working professionals in the areas of
fashion design, technology & management and communication. These
programmes lead to the award of a professional certificate and vary
from duration of 3 months to 12 months.

1.8

Through the twining programmes with 26 International schools of repute

NIFT students remain informed about global trends. Besides continuing its
current activity of human resource development, NIFT takes on additional
roles such as creation of knowledge by serving as the nations R&D
Laboratory for the fashion sector, and as an incubator of new small scale
fashion industry by developing entrepreneurship skills amongst its students.

1.9

NIFT has exposed the Indian fashion industry to the worlds finest design
expertise, management practices and manufacturing technologies. It has
created a learning environment that encourages innovation, creativity and
excellence. NIFT is a multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional Institute that
intends to continue to play the path-finders role. The NIFT Act, 2006
empowers the Board of Governors of the NIFT to establish new Campuses
through a well-defined policy. It has increased its footprints by establishing
15 Campuses.

CHAPTER II
A NEW CAMPUS AT PANCHKULA, HARYANA

On November 1, 1966, Haryana emerged as

a separate State in the federal galaxy of the
Indian Republic with just 1.37% of the total
geographical area and less than 2% of
Indias population. The amazing growth
story of Haryana is classic case study for
students of public policy. It shares its capital
i.e Union Territory of Chandigarh, with
Punjab. Nearly 1/3rd of Haryana forms part
of the National Capital Region.
2.1

The name of Haryana instantly conjures up the image of a state which

astonishingly combines both-antiquity and plenty. Replete with myths, legends
and vedic references, Haryana's past is steeped in glory. The region has been
the scene of many a war because of its being A Gateway to North India. As
years rolled by, successive streams of the Huns, the Turks and the Tughlaqs
invaded India and decisive battles were fought on this land. At the end of the
14 century, Taimur led an army through this area to Delhi. Later, the Mughals
defeated the Lodhis in a historic battle of Panipat in the year 1526. Another
decisive battle was fought in the year 1556 at this very site, establishing the
supremacy of the Mughals for centuries to come. Indeed, the history of
Haryana is the saga of the struggle of a virile, righteous, forthright and proud
people.

2.2

Haryana has always remained a rendezvous for diverse races, cultures and
faiths. It is on this soil that they met, fused and crystallized into something
truly Indian. Hindu Saints and Sikh Gurus have traversed the land of Haryana
spreading their message of universal love and brotherhood.

2.3

Haryana has carved a place of distinction for itself during the past three
decades. Whether it is agriculture or industry, canal irrigation or rural
electrification, Haryana has marched towards modernity with leaps and
bounds. Today, it enjoys the unique distinction in India of having provided
electricity, metalled roads and potable drinking water to all its villages within
record time. Haryana is among the most prosperous states of India, that is
having one of the highest per-capita income in the country.

Handloom and Cottage industry of Haryana

2.4

Haryana has diverse crafts and arts such as pottery, paintings, sculpture,
embroidery and weaving. Phulkari, bagh, chope, durries etc. are many on
which the state prides itself on. Haryana arts and crafts are one of the sources
of income for the rural people and thus play an important role in contributing
to the economy of its people. The state organises an annual Surajkund Crafts
Mela, where it portrays its arts and crafts.

2.5

Pottery: While pottery making is commonly found across the country, the
uniqueness that differentiates this craft of Haryana is
the kick operated turn of the potter's wheel while
hands are traditionally used to spin the potters
wheel. The clay items are made on wheels that are
legged to spin. Being a state that is predominantly
driven by the rural economy, pottery finds a place of
paramount importance. The pots are very colourful,
brightly done by the women folk of the household,
while the pot making is done by the male members of
the family.

2.6

Embroidery and Weaving:

2.7

Phulkari: The shawl or dupatta known as the

phulkari, meaning flowered work, are wonderful
pieces of art and is an offshoot of the Kashmiri shawl.
Essentially a winter wear; it is worn over a tightfitting 'choli' (blouse) and 'ghaghra' (long skirt). The
phulkaris are intricately woven in a magnificent and
colourful piece of clothing. The warmth and richness
of colours, the bold patterning and the patient hard
work which go into the embroidery work of phulkari
make it symbolic of the women of Haryana. A very coarse homespun texture,
the Khaddar, is used as a base ground cloth in phulkari a simple stitch done
entirely from the back in silken threads is applied to work out the patterns.

Some of the very

popular woven products are the shawls, durries
and the lungis. Karnal is popular for bright
robes and lungis which is a common garment
worn by inhabitants of rural India.

The patterns used are the art motifs of birds, flowers and human figures using
darning needles. In some cases, the phulkari takes many years to make.

The making commences during the birth of the girl child and continues till the
age of her marriage and is presented to her as a wedding gift as a part of her
trousseau.
2.8

Bagh: Another type of shawl is the Bagh, meaning Garden.

Geometric patterns of design are almost always followed in
the making of the Bagh essentially with green colour. This
craft is practiced mostly by Muslims and has interesting
designs
varying
from
elephants, houses, crops,
the sun, the moon, kites
and
gardens.
This
embroidery is also done on khaddar. Bagh
differs from phulkari basically in the manner
the motifs are spread all over in an integrated
pattern without leaving any space in between.
Bagh is also known by the name of
Sar-pallu in Haryana.

2.9

Chope is a kind of shawl, which is simple in its look as compared to phulkari

and bagh. Rather a simple affair in comparison to the phulkari and bagh, it
is presented to a new bride by her maternal grandmother. The darshan dwar
shawl is gifted to a temple, by a devotee whose wish has been fulfilled.

2.10

Durries: The durries are rather coarse and have

spectacular geometric patterns adorning the entire rug.
Often set against a blue background, the durries have
white triangles filling up the rug. This art is mostly
practiced by the Jats of Haryana and are concentrated
in and around the Panipat region of the state.

Textile resources and industries in Haryana & neighbouring cities:

2.11

Haryana boasts of robust handloom traditions, especially in Panipat and an

equally vibrant handicraft tradition. Panipat, is a major textile town of India,
famous for its rugs & upholstery fabrics which are marketed all over the
world. Traditionally women would weave durries (rugs) and khes (thick
coverlets) for household use whenever they would be free from agricultural
and household work. Today, Panipat, is an export hub for cotton durries, mats,
carpets, floor coverings etc. The City has more than 350 registered exporters
for handloom & textile goods. According to an estimate, from this city goods
worth over `` 2000 crores (approx.) are exported worldwide. Goods that are

exported include woollen carpets, durries and handloom products amongst

others. Many exporters feel a need for designers and creative products
development is hampered because of this. NIFT Panchkula designers can fulfil
this need.
2.12

The Haryana State Industrial & Infrastructural Development Corporation

(HSIIDC), of Government of Haryana is setting up a Textile Park in Barhi,
Sonipat. This is expected to generate annual garment business of around ` 750
crore and create 7,500 jobs. This is in conjunction with industrial hubs already
established viz. a footwear park in Bahadurgarh, an export promotion park in
Kundli, industrial model towns in various cities, petro hub in Panipat. The
Textile Park at Barhi, Sonipat is proposed to be spread over 390 acres and
already plots have been allotted to 245 units, which have started production,
and approximately 150 units are in the final stage of construction. Barhi
Textile Park is mainly dealing in garment business, whereas in Panipat, textile
business is based on home furnishing products.

2.13

The textile park of Sonipat has attracted many garment manufacturers from
India and overseas. Many entrepreneurs from Gurgaon, Delhi and Panipat
have setup their projects in this area. Some overseas players who have shown
interest include companies from Korea namely Kaico Deer Abrasive Pvt. Ltd.
& EOC Polymers Ltd. from Belgium. In addition to above, there are a large
number of industries in Yamuna Nagar which is not far from Panchkula. There
is going to be adequate demand of specialist designers for various industries.

2.14

Textile Industries spanning all sectors inclusive of spinning, weaving, knitting,

worsted, processing, terry towels, industrial yarns, garments, made-ups,
denim, shawls and all concerned services are spread across several clusters.
Among these various clusters the major chunk of the organized mill sectors
are situated in an around Ludhiana & Chandigarh with the manufacturing
facilities situated mostly at Lalru (Haryana), Nalagarh & Baddi (HP), and in
major agro belt of Punjab at the outskirts of Ludhiana. Easy availability of raw
materials & abundant labour, government friendly sops in terms of subsidies
and tax holidays has made these places attractive propositions for the business
houses to invest in textile business. The region boasts of the presence of some
big names like Winsome, Nahar, Vardhman, Oswal, Trident etc.

2.15

The exciting market dynamics demand the process of handicraft be maintained

but newer elements in the product be introduced. Furthermore, traditional
products have become a fashionable wear. The lack of newer elements in
traditional products affects the marketability. To plug this gap, and create
novelty in traditional products, new inputs should be introduced. This will
require agents of change who can steer forward the process successfully.

There is a dearth of expertise in incorporating design values and

corresponding business professionalism. This has necessitated a paradigm
shift in business thinking and business value chain.
2.16

While the world has embraced the virtual market space alongside the real
market space, the artisans are grappling to adjust to the new dynamics. New
intermediaries have appeared adding to the already existing barrier. Even
though the demand and business are in excess, the earnings of artisans remain
the same. A serious makeover coupled with professional intervention in all its
form is the need of the hour. While intervention may take various forms, one
such intervention is creating harbingers of change who can steer the process.

2.17

With many such leading industries in Haryana region there is a high demand
for professionals in these areas. This can be fulfilled by the creative
professionals who have acquired formal training in various areas of fashion
design, technology and management graduates that NIFT campus will
eminently meet the need. Establishment of NIFT in the state will also meet
the needs of the artisans and meet an objective of contributing towards the
socio-economic development of the craft / handloom sectors of the State. The
proposed institute would also address the fast increasing gap in demand and
supply of quality professionals in this area.

2.18

Panchkula, a planned city in Panchkula district of Haryana, is also a satellite

city of the Union Territory of Chandigarh and part of the Chandigarh Capital
region. It also shares seamless borders with Mohali district in Punjab. The
city has sufficient infrastructure / material facilities required for construction
of NIFT. Hence, an ideal location for the possibilities of substantial inflow of
students aiming for career in fashion technology from the neighbouring states
i.e. Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttrakhand, Uttar Pradesh
in addition to Haryana.

2.19

A committee of two members of the Board of Governors (BoG) of NIFT had

submitted a feasibility report for a NIFT campus at Panchkula. On 19th July
2012, Shri Anand Sharma, Minister of Textiles, Government of India, in a
public function, in the presence of the Chief Minister of Haryana announced
the decision to establish a NIFT campus at Panchkula. The BOG in its meeting
held on 23rd July 2012 gave an in-principle approval for this campus and
requested to obtain financial commitments from Government of Haryana to
fund the project.

CHAPTER III
ACADEMIC MODEL OF NIFT PANCHKULA
3.1

A major task in developing a new cadre of creative professional designers,

technologist and managers will be to keep them encouraged and motivated, at
every available opportunity, so as to stay committed to the development of this
extremely diverse and decentralized sector. This will demand an innovative
model and an institutional mechanism that ensures a body of professionally
competent and committed young people who would spearhead and accelerate
the development process. It should simultaneously build a mindset in the
fashion industry to deploy such a body of professionals into the sectors in
adequate numbers. NIFT, through its stated mission, is working with different
bodies and the industry to multiply the professional competence required.

3.2

In the last 27 years of its existence the academic model of NIFT has evolved
from the diploma granting to the degree awarding Institute. It has developed a
strong base of design and fashion technology based education. Currently, it
follows the concept of a core programme followed by non-core courses,
electives and the project. The core programme forms fundamental basis of
learning essentials in each programme area domain. These form the
mainstream courses that are mandatory for students to undertake. The noncore Courses develop a contextual knowledge base to set off core professional
capabilities and help students to co-relate issues and appreciate socio cultural
dimensions. The elective courses provide options to the students for
specialization based on individual, group and industry preference.

3.3

The NIFT follows a Credit System wherein each course is assigned a number
of credits depending upon the number of contact and non-contact hours in a
week. The institute uses the concept of credit to define the weightage of a
course in the curriculum. A students performance is measured by the number
of credits that he/she has earned and by the weighted grade point average
maintained by him/her.

3.4

Unfortunately, the present academic model does not promote interdisciplinary

or cross-disciplinary learning across departments. It does not focus on
personality development of the individual in terms of values, ethics, social
sensitivities, and global awareness.

3.5

The Panchkula NIFT may promote a more flexible academic environment.

The distinction between different departments could be made permeable. The
education and training should promote interdisciplinary learning that would
provide flexibility to a student to design a programme according to personal
potential. Each student will be able to design his or her curriculum with a

11

major and a minor, i.e., a student can have FD as major and TD as a minor or
vice versa.
3.6

Needless to say with blurring of these boundaries, there will be an added

emphasis on creativity. The courses will be available both at the core level as
well as non-core and elective level. As an organization, it is proposed to shift
away from a department based approach to a school based approach
essentially, to usher in a more flexible and interdisciplinary learning. There
will be following Schools at Panchkula.
(i)

School of Design :
This school will offer Core courses in Design based subjects besides
offering majors in fashion design and textile design. It will also offer
minors in these courses at undergraduate level. At post graduate level it
would offer a course in Design Space or develop newer courses, as the
case may be.

(ii)

School of Fashion Technology and Management :

This school will offer courses in fashion technology, organisational
behaviour to undergraduates and postgraduates and also a post
graduate programme in fashion management.

(iii)

Centre for Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences :

This interdisciplinary Centre will offer courses in Communication,
Economics, English, Foreign Languages, Science, Humanities and
Social Sciences. This Centre will primarily orient students with the
questions concerning society at large in global world and acquainting
them with the implications of such questions for our immediate social
setup.

12

3.7

Besides offering education at degree level, these schools will also offer
Continuing Education Programmes, tailored to the need of the State. They will
also undertake research, studies and consultancy in their area of expertise.
Through these Schools the following Programmes and courses will be offered:

3.8

The apparent shift from department to school based learning will be

consciously designed for this Campus. In keeping with the global practices in
the top design schools, these Schools will be teaching similar subjects as in
other centres of NIFT but with the greater flexibility of choices to the students.
The Schools will continue to be guided by the Dean (Academics) and
Programme Coordinators at the NIFT HO through the decisions of the Senate.
The School based concept would also help in better utilization of resources
and access to students for interdisciplinary facilities.

3.9

The approach of learning will be by doing. This emphasis on acquiring

skills with an interdisciplinary approach will help students bring in fusion of
thought and material in their designs. The departure from the current NIFT
model would pave the way for more futuristic and global education and would
usher the change in the design scape.

3.10

Indeed, this model would require different kind of facilities and infrastructure.
Besides faculty rooms, and classrooms, it will be necessary to have several
laboratories, studios and workshops for students. It should have a strong
resource centre that provides the students with the repository of information.
The NIFT would ensure that the communication skills or soft skills are well
developed in the academic programmes.
In order to understand oneself as well as the world around an individual, it is
necessary to have some education on aspects of life, i.e., mind and body,
ethics and values, jurisprudence, relations, society and time. Through Craft
Cluster linkages it would be possible for students to visit different places and
interact with society and learn about specific issues.

3.11

For the overall development of students, opportunities will be provided in

sports, and visual art performances. In order to appreciate the activities of
sports and culture, students will be provided a card called Co-curricular
Performance Card. This card will be given along with the grade card of a
student, and will enlist the contributions and involvement of the student in
these activities during the entire four year period. It will be given due
recognition. It is expected that students will develop a good portfolio of their
co-curricular activities.

Scope and Activities

4.3

The Institute will offer a holistic experience that will nurture creativity,
enterprise, spirit of inquiry and academic excellence inspired by our aesthetics
and craft legacy. It will strive to instil passion for excellence and develop
overall personality of the students with emphasis on humility and sensitivity.
The students with their unique set of skills and knowledge and concern for
social and human values will contribute as committed and ethical
professionals.

4.4

The flexibility in curriculum will help in achieving the highest potential of

every student. The lowering of discipline and department barriers will lead to
easy exchange of ideas bringing in fusion of thought and chartering newer
agenda in design with newer materials. The emphasis on learning by doing
will ensure that the graduating students are prepared to face the challenges of
the industry through professional ease, continued adaptation and training.

4.5

The ability to offer exclusive short-term courses, technology-based distance

education programme and specialized state-of-the-art modules on a part time
or on full time basis will remain one of the key cornerstones of the Campus.
The short term courses will provide platform for interface between academia
and professionals. It will support the artisans, craftsmen and entrepreneurs to
help them acquire skills in integration of design, management and technology
in their professional lives. These continuous education programmes will be
planned in a systematic manner and would thus remain a regular feature of the
annual academic calendar of the institute. These programmes will be
formulated keeping in mind the commercial viability of such programmes.

4.6

Incubating and promoting entrepreneurial ventures will play a key role for the
development of a robust fashion industry in a countrys overall economic
development of the sector. Keeping these crucial facts in mind, it is proposed
that one of the specific roles of this Campus will be inculcating
entrepreneurship skills amongst its students. This may be achieved by
incorporating specially designed elective courses and offering them to the
students of regular undergraduate and postgraduate level. Besides, an
Incubator Centre at the Campus may be developed with relevant infrastructure
where interested students may be attached as stipendiary apprentices.

18

Training packages may include behavioural inputs, business opportunity

guidance, information & technical inputs and managerial inputs; a short
internship in an allied industry followed by post-training support will act as a
hand holding period.
4.7

Regular interaction and continuous dialogue with fashion business industry

and the craft sector to continuously assess their requirements and challenges
will be one of the key strategies to make learning more experiential. Industry
internships & industry based graduation projects for students and faculty help
in gaining an insight to the prevalent problems and limitations of real life
industrial scenarios. Industry Institute interaction can also help in pooling,
sharing and optimizing the use of available resources for mutual benefit.
Research collaboration and consultancy services are avenues to solve the
immediate problems faced by the industry by means of hiring the services of
quality faculty of the institute. Towards this a Centre for Industry, Artisans
and Craftspersons Interaction (CIACI) will be set-up at the Campus which
will be headed by a senior faculty. Thus intermixing and integration of
research and teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels will be a
fundamental feature of the proposed NIFT Centre at Panchkula.

4.8

It is important that students of NIFT have their design sensibilities grounded in

our aesthetic and craft legacy. In a long run our students will be able to further
showcase and promote Indian design sensibility on the global platform. That
students are not only aware of these sensibilities but also sensitive towards the
needs of the craftsmen they will be closely involved with the craft clusters
during the course of studies. This task will be supported by a Craft Cluster
Unit and will help in development of traditional arts and crafts by actuating
interventions in traditional craft clusters of Haryana.

CHAPTER V
ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
5.1

5.2

5.3

The Panchkula Campus of NIFT envisages itself as a Campus that nurtures its
students into committed and ethical professionals with unique set of skills and
knowledge. The students would demonstrate self-confidence, versatility,
critical appraisal, courage, integrity and concern for social and human values
in their personal and professional lives. The academic experience in this
Campus would:
(i)

nurture creative expression, innovation and independence of thought,

with belief in freedom of inquiry;

(ii)

encourage the prospects of non-predictable thinking systems within a

pragmatic frame;

(iii)

offer a progressive curricula to ensure that subjects taught at the

Campus remain relevant; and

(iv)

bring real-world experiences into the classroom augmented by

meaningful interactions with practicing professions via industry-led
pedagogy.

The Campus will offer 6 key programmes as follows:

(i)

a four year Bachelor of Design with major in Fashion Design / Textile

Design

(ii)

a four year Bachelor of Fashion Technology with major in Apparel

Production

(iii)

a two year Master of Fashion Technology

(iv)

a two year Master of Design

(v)

a two year Master of Fashion Management

(vi)

Certificate Programmes of one year and 6 month duration as a part of

the Continuing Education Programme.

The four year Bachelor of Design programme will take students after 10+2
years of school training. The students will be selected based on their
performance in the entrance examination conducted by the NIFT HO. The
total numbers of students proposed in this programme are 140; the admission
will be as per reservation rules followed by the Central Government. 20% of
the seats in all categories will also have a horizontal reservation for the State
20

Domicile. The following table will illustrate how this calculation can be
arrived at across all categories.

5.4

Each student will specialize in a major. However, there will also be an

opportunity for doing a double major or minors along with a major. Each
major would declare number of courses offered and credits attached to it. It
would also specify the requirements for a major or a minor, i.e., number of
core courses and elective courses required to be completed for a major. These
courses would specify the objectives as well as pre-requisite in courses; it
means some courses cannot be taken till the prerequisite courses have been
successfully completed. In the process of education, a student would be
required to earn a specified number of credits in core courses and electives.
Apart from the majors, a student would also need to gather minimum credits in
courses related to sciences, humanities and social sciences. However, beyond
this minimum coverage, a student can specialize in a major area as well as a
minor area. This process would enable a student to design his/her
specialization in a unique manner to achieve an optimal potential. The Campus
will ensure that courses covering all areas of specialization are offered in
sufficient number to allow a better and deeper understanding.

5.5

The spirit of design education in the Campus would be learning by doing with
creativity. Students would be exposed to experiential learning through
laboratory, craft cluster, internship and projects. Besides formal lecture hours,
each student will be required to undergo some training in studios and
laboratories. Each student or a group of students will undertake some design
& technology development activity so as to explore their ideas. Such an
approach will provide, in every course, a window of activities for research.

21

Total
140

5.6

Finalisation of this flexible curriculum would be done in a democratic and

consultative manner. It would take some time to formalize this thought process
as it sees a departure from the current structured way curriculum is
administered in the old NIFTs. The academic activities for Bachelors
Programme would be interdisciplinary. However, the Campus would follow
major and minors in Fashion Design/Textile Design/Apparel Production.

5.7

The Masters programmes would be research intensive and would be

conducted in close cooperation with industry as well as reputed research
institutes. Besides the course work a dissertation would be required to be
supervised so as to oversee the progress of research/dissertation. The Master
programme will be in Design/Fashion Technology and Fashion Management.
It will also follow state domicile of 20% within a class of 30 and
supernumerary seats.

5.8

Guiding Process for curriculum rethinking would more or less follow

following key activities and schedule. This means that Campus would have
academic readiness for delivery only in 2016, provided permanent Campus is
also in place at that time.

The Fashion Design course will hone design sensibilities to balances
global fashion aesthetics with an Indian soul. A holistic input on
generic design with more focused approach towards apparel will
inculcate the ability to develop and channelize creativity. The course
will address needs of the export market as well as both couture and
prt-a-porter clothing in India. Besides addressing the needs of the
expanding domestic & export market, the program will also address the
needs of the niche segments in India. In tandem with the shifts in the
industry where Design has become even more significant, the students
will be trained to anticipate and
address relevant concerns and
issues. A logical, sequential, hands-on experience enables students to
conceptualize designs, make patterns, drape and construct garments of
impeccable quality.

24

(ii)

Major in Textile Design

Textile design is a core of fashion industry and provides design based
solutions by working with colours, patterns, textured surfaces and
sustainability. The Textile
design courses will integrate and prepare
graduates for ever evolving Indian and global textile industry. Students
will learn to identify and provide solutions to design challenges posed
by changes. It will offer unique and innovative approach to textile
design education. Students creativity will be further enhanced through
client projects, industry internships, craft documentation and CAD
training and articulated through a final eighteen weeks of Graduation
Project. It will prepare students for a wide range of careers in textile
mills and export houses, with fashion designers, design studios, buying
houses and handloom cooperatives as design or fabric Managers, or
work independently as Designers or Entrepreneurs. It will also provide
choice to many for entering into scholarly pursuit in academics and
research.

(iii)

Design Space
The multidisciplinary program of design will aim to encourage design
thinking and impart a wider perspective and a broader perception to the
thoughts and ideas of tomorrow. The programme will offer multidisciplinary courses to enable discipline students to work beyond
boundaries and bring together their skills and ideas in new exciting
ways in the fashion industry. Students will draw on each others
diverse professional background and provide a critical approach to
solution of future problems; as well as provide design innovations and
inventions for the growing fashion industry. The program will provide
an opportunity to choose design specializations in Fashion, Textiles
and Communication Design. A research environment will provide a
much-needed platform for answering questions, which may arise
twenty years hence. This programme will also orient students to take
up diverse career opportunities including in that of academics and
research.

School of Fashion Technology and Management

6.3

The School of Fashion Technology and Management would inform its

teaching through a strong technology and research based learning. The post
graduate programme would allow its students to strengthen the
multidisciplinary studies. It would offer Master in Fashion Management and

25

undergraduate and post graduate programme in fashion technology. The

streams of studies that would be available would be in, Fashion Technology
and Fashion Management.
The key areas would be as follows:
(i)

Fashion Management Studies

The two year Master Program in Fashion Management will develop
managerial skills in the field of fashion marketing, merchandising and
retailing best suited to the requirements of the garment export and
fashion retail sectors. Students will be exposed to creative
merchandising/marketing, innovative fashion management practices,
fashion forecasting and trends and business practices through field
visits and industry internships. The programme will inculcate in the
students the right attitude to be part of the middle management of any
growing organisation as well as orientation for joining academics and
scholarly pursuit of research.

(ii)

Fashion Technology
a) It will offer two programmes one at under graduate level and other
at post graduate level. Bachelor of Fashion Technology in Apparel
Production will train students in core garment manufacturing
technology. With emphasis on best practices in Apparel Production
coupled with understanding and application of Information
Technology, the programme will prepare professionals who are
capable to significantly contribute to the fashion technology
domain of the industry. Students will learn about equipment and
processes through hands-on training in laboratory, classroom
sessions and industry exposure. The Information Technology input
will help students to appreciate, evaluate and apply computer
applications and information technology in apparel production.
Through the four years of intensive learning the students will be
prepared to play the role of change agents in the industry.

b) Master of Fashion Technology, a two year master programme will

be designed to motivate and facilitate students to excel in
understanding and integrating the areas of technology and
management for apparel manufacturing and develop capability to
offer strategic solutions. The programme will inculcate in the
students the ability to create a synergy between Modern
Technology and Human Element. In a measured combination of
26

theory, practical, and applied research, the programme will develop

a truly global trade oriented perspective for its students.

Centre for Languages, Humanities and Basic & Social Sciences.

6.4

The Centre for Languages, Humanities and Basic and Social Sciences will
inform its teaching through a strong design and liberal arts based learning.
Apart from offering basket of courses to help build undergraduates with wider
perspectives, its courses would also offer strong element of creativity and
communication skills.

Research and Projects

6.5

The NIFT establishes a strong reputation of research through the publication

record of its faculty and students. Strong emphasis will be placed on
publishing the results of research activities in international and national
journals. The degree of excellence will depend on the publication record of
students and faculty. The Campus would explicitly strive to maintain a high
standard in terms of its publication record.

6.6

Projects and consultancy are another mode by which the opportunities for
experiential learning will be provided to both the students and the faculty. It
will be an endeavour of each faculty to spend time on research, papers and
project assignments in every academic year.

Continuing Education and Quality Improvement Programme

6.7

The NIFT Panchkula would strive to be a centre of excellence. It is expected

that Government and other funding agencies will invest significantly in it. It
will serve as a trigger to boost the design and fashion technology interventions
in the State in particular. It will serve as a change agent for other colleges,
polytechnics that are running courses in fashion technology.

6.8

The Institute will provide opportunities to faculty and students of other

institutes to undergo continuing education programmes. At times it could even
build customized programme, if they are adequately funded by sponsoring
body.

27

6.9

It would initiate a Quality Improvement Program Scheme (QIP Scheme) and

would admit some talented young teachers of other institutions in its
programmes. These would be targeted programme and be initiated if only
there are sufficient candidates sponsored by their respective institutions.

Resource Centre
6.10

The advent of the information super-highway some three decades ago has
triggered an information revolution leading to the flow of information
becoming faster and all pervasive. As a result, knowledge and information is
fast emerging as a more important production factor than labour, raw material
and capital. The libraries of academic institutions have been serving as the
window through which information is made available to students and faculty
of an institution. Indeed, the Resource Centre of NIFT Panchkula, is
envisaged to take on a new focus wherein it serves as a learning resource
centre which provides its users access to a variety of both print and non-print
knowledge resources; wherein it actively contributes to knowledge creation
thereby promoting the concept of research.

6.11

It is recommended that the Resource Centre provide access to an integrated

collection of print, visual and creative materials resources for study of
international and contemporary Indian Fashion. It should serve as a central
resource centre for digital storage of Audio Visual material for electronic
delivery to students through a hypermedia network and as a portal for
receiving and disseminating web based programmes developed in the open &
distance learning systems of education. It should provide access to catalogues
of all print and non-print collections in electronic form. Furthermore, all its
books and journals holdings may be converted to computerised storage to
enable remote access and its non-print resources are available in a digitized
interactive multimedia format. The library should also network with the
information resource centres of other NIFT Centres to enable users access to
the whole gamut of information that is flooding the world but not available
within the Centres library.

28

6.12

The Campus will have a strong resource centre with following central
academic facilities:
(i)

Library-cum-Information Resource Centre

(ii)

Information Technology Centre

(iii)

Design Studio

(iv)

Handicraft and Handloom Museum and Gallery

(v)

6.13

The Resource Centre will be manned by a Head (Resource Centre) in the

It is a normal practice the world over to appoint visiting adjunct faculty drawn
from industry on a part-time basis to supplement the expertise of the core
faculty. NIFTs academic policy encourages the appointment of Adjunct
Professors and Visiting Fellows across all programmes. Thus, it is suggested
that association of visiting/adjunct faculty from industry must be encouraged
at the Panchkula Centre as well.

6.16

The suggested qualification, group competencies, phasing and hierarchical

levels for the core faculty positions are in Annexure-II.

Support Staff for Academic Divisions:

CHAPTER - VII
QUALITY AND HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Quality and Academic Values:

7.1

An institute gets defined by the collective knowledge it possesses and

disposes. Thus, the glory teachers and students carry is the glory the institute
would rest upon. This said, the efficiency and cohesive working of any
institute would be the summation of all the human resource, including the
support staff it has at its disposal- academic, technical and administrative.
Everybody should be provided with opportunities for professional growth and
as Maslow put it, self-actualization. This would help the support staff to be
more in consonance with the institutional value system and to be better tuned
to the way faculty operate and think and also allow them to more effectively
serve the Institute and its students.

Faculty Development:
7.2

Teachers are the dispensers of knowledge who help in the evolution of the
institute. They help in opening minds and more importantly in "seeing the
future". The most crucial factor in building the Haryana centre of NIFT into
an institution of excellence will be its ability to attract and retain quality
faculty. With good faculty it can be assured that the quality of students rolling
out would reflect in the development of society, ethos and value system. The
following remark by James Courant is most appropriate with regards to faculty
appointments: the way to wreck a university is to make good appointments,
good appointments are not good enough, it must be the very best that we care
about. A sincere effort to attract high calibre faculty has been the focus of
NIFT. Access to the state-of-theart computing and research infrastructure,
conducive teaching and research environment, open culture, supportive
administrative structure, lucrative compensation package are some of the
perquisite for attracting high calibre faculty.

7.3

NIFT, like many other institutes, has a policy for faculty capacity building to
keep faculty members exposed to the latest developments in the field of
fashion business. This helps in bridging the gap between the academic
instructions to the practical knowledge application and creating new avenues
for sharing ideas and opportunities. To ensure such assets do not leave the
institute for greener pastures in the era of accelerating change, complexity and
uncertainty, measures will need to be taken to retain such high value talents.

32

Towards this end, human resource policies and practices that govern faculty
service must include:
(i)

An extensive faculty development programme that provides

opportunities for upgrading qualifications, improving teaching
effectiveness, imbibing new learning technologies and strategies,
learning management and leadership effectiveness skills,
understanding procedural issues, gaining an understanding of the
problems and limitations of industry and keeping abreast of progress in
their individual specialisation, changes in related specialties (both
existing and new) and advances in the underlying knowledge base of
fashion business; and

(ii)

Job security linked with acceptable performance which also includes

the possibility of dismissal for non-productivity.

(iii)

Opportunities for personal intellectual growth through research, paper

writing and consultancy assignment.

NON-FACULTY STAFF DEVELOPMENT:

7.4

Growth should be collective in nature. This would mean all stakeholders be

taken on board including the administrative staffs. To keep them out of this
loop would result in an operational gap that could dilute the very structure of
what is expected out of an institute of standing. Therefore, it is essential that
non-faculty staff must also be included in any self-renewal effort that shall be
promoted at the Campus with a view towards enabling such staff to develop
capabilities to work as a unit to meet institutional needs, as well as to change
in response to problems.

7.5

As postulated by the evolutionary scientist Darwin, the fittest survive. This

demands the skills of adaptation as called for by changing times. Change,
being the only constant today, rejigs established norms, practices, structures
and many more such. These new equations demand new mind sets and new
ways of operating. This in turn will demand evolution on a continual basis to
stay course. This evolution will require learning, de-learning and un-learning.
A systematic framework in the form of a blueprint on "Development
Programme" for the Non -faculty staff as much for other staffs should be put
in place.

33

HRD IMPELEMENTATION STRATEGY:

7.6

Alwin Tofler quoted, "The educated of the future is not one who knows to
write or read, but one who is willing to learn and relearn". The faculty should
keep themselves abreast of the latest. By doing so, they should be able to
transfer updated knowledge to the student community. The growth
implementation strategy must be geared to the characteristics of adult learning
and should be left to the subject - faculty and non-faculty support staffinvolved. Also, educational researches indicate that adults learn best when
they are allowed to determine their own learning needs and to select their own
learning activities. Thus they must be encouraged to voluntarily participate in
development programmes. Clearly they will participate in sizeable numbers if
they perceive such activities as being beneficial to their career growth.

7.7

Furthermore they are bound to have a sense of commitment for the programme
if they are involved in its establishment and operation in a meaningful way.
The staff involvement strategy can be two pronged in nature, one on an
individual level and other on a global level. At the individual level, each staff
member draws up his own professional development plan. This, it may be
suggested could be done at the time of developing annual work plan linked to
performance appraisal report, in consultation with the Head of Department
specifying development needs and a list of activities that need to be pursued to
fulfil them. On a global level, the involvement of the staff may be channelized
through staff development committees, one each for faculty and non-faculty
staff, composed of an assortment of staff members Campus. Members of the
Advisory Committees would need to be individuals who are opinion leaders
(i.e individuals who have the confidence and respect of their colleagues) if an
effective support base is to be established for staff development amongst the
staff.

7.8

It is suggested that for the successful implementation of such a development

programme, a competent authority spearheads it. The Staff Development
Coordinator, as he may come to be known as, shall be professionally qualified
in the cadre of a Professor with the required qualities as deemed fit for the
role. The qualities shall include, besides many other, Leadership skills,
knowledge skills in the process of change, communication skills etc. This
programme should be managed by the School of Fashion Technology and
Management.

34

7.9

The various developmental needs having being identified at individual and

global levels, will now have to be drawn up, by the Staff Development
Coordinator in conjunction with the staff developmental committee, as an
institutional plan of action. This plan of action, to ensure a time bound
implementation effecting in the desired growth pattern, should be broken
down into activities. For some needs the staff may be required to be sent
outside to attend workshops/courses. For some other resource person may be
hired to develop and present a tailormade programme as well as to provide
the implementation and follow-up assistance needed by the staff to introduce
the innovation or change. Alternately, an in-house expert could be used, if
available, especially when large groups have to be covered.

7.10

An important factor that needs to be kept in mind is that mere exposure is not
enough. It may be noted here that the staff be provided an opportunity to
practice what has been garnered through the learning under supervised
simulation. Feedback will be provided during simulated applications to ensure
corrective measures are taken till the point of expertise. From here on, the
staffs is prepared, it is ensured, to face real life situations. It may be suggested
that for maximum effectiveness of the training, it is essential that the staff go
through the entire cycle in the process of change.

7.11

The executive management has a crucial and significant role to play in staff
development. It needs to be borne in mind that not everyone will participate
regardless of what may be done to motivate them to do so. A hit rate of 2530% is appreciable and the outcome in terms of improvement in work
efficiency and attitudes will be noticeable. Besides support of the top
management the success of the HRD programme is dependent on several other
factors. Critical amongst which are the following:
(i)

Provision of adequate financial resources;

(ii)

Provision of time, i.e., considering participation in approved HRD

activities as a part of the normal work load thus allowing their usage
within normal working hours;

(iii)

Provision of facilities;

(iv)

Publicity for the programme through a newsletter/circular; and

(v)

Establishment of a system of incentives and rewards linked to growth

opportunities as a means of motivating staff to participate in HRD
activities.

CHAPTER - VIII
INDUSTRY INSTITUTE INTERACTION
Raison D Etre for Industry-Institute Interaction (I3):
8.1

A symbiotic relationship co-existence has often led to excellence and wealth

creation. While industry is involved in "wealth creation", the academia is
involved in "Creators of wealth". The NIFT Campus at Panchkula as a
constituent unit of an apex level institute of NIFT will be committed to the
development of human talent and the Creators of wealth. The vision for an
industry-institute partnership must, therefore, be to work together for
improvement in each others performance thereby contributing to a healthy
and sustainable economy and society. Such mutual influence can only be
achieved through mutual understanding which in turn, can only develop
through close contact and collaboration.

8.2

Given their independent objectives, the industry and the institute though travel
along then same directly, hardly meet. As has been, the dynamic industry of
fashion and allied components categorizes small scale and operates on short /
medium term in India and the academia working towards immediate supply of
manpower in the short term and change agents in the long term, have sets of
objective that do not necessarily match. While this has been recognized by
both the Industry and Academia, a middle-point is seemingly elusive. The
need of the hour is for faculty to take business and industry into their
professional system, learn about it and relate their teaching to it in an
appropriate and balanced way. Industry, in turn, needs to open itself up to be
helped to think long term on vital qualities of life issues. Clearly this then is
the raison dtre for nurturing I3.

8.3

The Panchkula Campus will establish a Centre for Industry and Artisans. This
Centre will have Design Studio, Handicraft & Handloom Museum and Gallery
working closely on various areas of collaboration.

36

AVENUES FOR COLLABORATION:

8.4

Some avenues of collaboration are listed below in capsule form:

(i)

Co-operation in Training & Education

(a)

(b)

(ii)

Students:

Practical training in the form of internships

Industrial sourcing and sponsorship of students projects

In turn the students would, through their acquired

knowledge, pass on the learnings of Design to the industry.
Design and Concept Learning would help industry further
their business prospects.

Faculty:

Provide industry orientation to the curricula

Faculty Attachments to the industry

Create awareness and knowledge of industrial practices

Provide correlation between theory and professional

practices

Impart exposure to cross-curricular learning outputs; etc.

In return, faculties would transfer knowledge on latest

developments in the field of research and incorporate
Design techniques / Innovation Management principles to
the stakeholders of the organization.

Technology Exchange
(a)

Workshops and Future vision Seminars

(b)

Visits to university laboratories and industrial R&D sites,

production sites

(c)

Access to manufacturing facilities, specialized hardware and

specialized instrumentation.

37

(d)

(iii)

(iv)

(v)

In return, Institute shall help industry move up the value chainDesign, Technology and Management chains. This is to ensure
the Industry is geared up for higher stakes in the global
business scenario.

Partnership for Change

(a)

Continuing education for concepts and skills updating and,

acquisition of new technology & management skills for
company professionals.

(b)

Induction training of fresh recruits

(c)

Awareness and training programmes of new products/services

to users.

Joint Projects
(a)

Consultancy and immediate problem solving assignments.

(b)

Joint projects for third parties.

(c)

Joint programmes on shared problems/issues

(d)

Constructive discontent projects to enable Industry evolve and

ready itself for a bigger global role.

Funding
(a)

Contribution to a Corpus Fund

(b)

Endowed Chairs

(c)

Scholarships and Stipends

(d)

Donation of equipment, teaching aids, models, programmed

lectures, software, books etc.

(e)

Journal subscription

(f)

Funding of laboratories/R & D projects/ mutually beneficial

academic activities etc.

38

(vi)

Education Policy.
(a)

8.5

A vision driven education model will steer the industry into a

different orbit. While the Academia shall incorporate feedbacks
received from the Industry to meet current requirements, it is
believed the role of an institute is to help the industry with
supply of forward thinking man power. The idea stems from
the fact that every business will work in the future, by the
future and for the future. This demands the supply from the
academia be trained for this future.

A "trading relationship", the basis of a sustainable relationship, can only be

nurtured on mutual benefit and mutual trust. The first step, therefore, is to
break the barriers inhibiting I3. Promotion of I3 is one of the prime objectives
of the Haryana Centre of NIFT. It is thus suggested that a senior faculty
member may be appointed to act as a Coordinator for I3. He may be assisted in
developing an I3 programme at the Haryana Centre by an Advisory Board for
I3 comprising both faculty and persons drawn from various segments of the
Fashion industry in the state of Haryana. He will also head the Centre for
Industry, Artisan and Craftsperson.

39

CHAPTER - IX
BUILDING & SPACE REQUIREMENT FOR ACADEMIC
ACTIVITIES
Land
9.1

Government of Haryana has identified 20 acres of land at village Panchayat,

Manakpur, Nanakchand, Block Pinjore, District Panchkula for NIFT Campus .

Building
9.2

The new campus will consist of academic blocks, IT block, administrative

block, Resource centre block, Incubation centre, residential area for faculty,
staff and students utilities recreation areas etc. The administrative block will
fulfil teaching requirements of School of Design, School of Fashion

4 students organisations and sports.

9.3

The cost of building construction is estimated at ` 93.74 crores including

interior work (Table IX) based on area standard for all courses offered at
NIFT. Provisions have been made for construction of additional built up areas
that are required at remotely located sites to accommodate housing for boys
and girls hostel, residential block for faculty/officers staff and guest house etc.

9.4

Further, since there has been enormous increase in the cost indices in the SOR,
along with the increase in the cost of basic raw material viz cement, steel,
sand, bricks, finishing material, transportation cost etc., thereby leading to
additional cost escalation. The cost excludes statutory payments to be made to
local authorities for the services viz sanction of building plans, development
charges, deposit for electricity, water, sewerage facilities etc.

9.5

The details of built up areas for various facilities for the calculation of rough
cost estimates for the setting up of permanent campus of NIFT Centres at nonmetro remote locations is mentioned as follows in Table X.

A

10.1

NIFT Haryana Centre will offer three UG programmes (Fashion Design,

Textile Design, and Bachelor of Fashion Technology- Apparel Production)
and three PG programmes (Master of Fashion Technology, Master of Fashion
Management and Master of Design) in 2016 at the completion of building
construction. The NIFT Centre should be fully equipped with state of the art
classroom equipment/machinery for hands on training. This is also due to the
demand of broad based technology intensive curriculum.

10.2

The infrastructure requirement for commencement of six academic

programmes is estimated to cost ` 26.53 Crores. The indicative list of
academic infrastructure requirements for the proposed academic programmes
is given in Annexure IV. The final list would be prepared along with the

CHAPTER XI
STUDENT FACILITIES & SERVICES

Student Residential Facilities:

11.1

For a NIFT centre like Panchkula, it will be essential to provide hostel facility
to each and every student. Keeping this in mind hostel rooms have been
planned for all students. Hostel would be managed by wardens with Faculty
as coordinators to supervise.

Transport Services:
11.2

Two buses are proposed for outright purchase which may be utilized for
industry visit, sourcing and other visits.

Health Care:
11.3

Medical aid may be provided for students of the Haryana Centre in a manner
similar to that available at other NIFT Centres. A Doctor and a Nurse may be
made available during working hours at the permanent NIFT Campus to take
care of general and specific medical needs of students. The same Doctor may
also be available on call to attend to the needs of hostel students during off
hours. Also, arrangements may be made with a nearby hospital for
preferential admission in case there is need for the hospitalization of any
student.

Canteen:
11.4

A full-fledged canteen/mess services are proposed which will serve breakfast,

lunch and dinner at the campus as well as hostel. The canteen may be
managed and operated by a private contractor under the supervision of a
Canteen Committee comprising faculty, officers and students.

Student Co-Curricular Activities:

11.5

One of the fundamental features of the academic philosophy that is espoused

by NIFT and followed at all its academic centres is to maintain a balance
between the curricular, cross-curricular and co-curricular aspects of education
to ensure development of the total personality of the students.

46

To cater to the co-curricular aspects of education the Haryana Centre of NIFT

will promote the following clubs in a manner similar to that at the existing
NIFT canters:
(i)

Cultural & Dramatics Club,

(ii)

Literary Club,

(iii)

Sports, Adventure & Photography Club, and

(iv)

Environment & Social Service Club

11.6

Each of the four clubs shall be managed by an elected student committee

under the guidance of a faculty advisor nominated by the Centre Director. A
senior faculty member in the capacity of Student Development Activities
Coordinator (SDAC) shall be responsible to oversee Student Co-curricular
Activities.

11.7

It is expected that participation in co-curricular activities shall provide

opportunities to students to develop their capacity for independent thinking,
hone their organizational and leadership skills, enhance their team working
capacity, expand their intellectual and aesthetic horizon beyond the realm of
classroom activities and above all inculcate a community spirit. Financing of
the co-curricular activities is proposed through a student co-curricular activity
fee to be paid annually by each student and supplemented by a matching grant
by the Centre.

Guidance & Counselling Services:

11.8

The academic career of students is characterized by a heavy work load and

frequent periods of stress. It is thus felt desirable to set up guidance and
counselling unit at the Haryana Centre to be headed by a senior faculty and
involving a large number of volunteer counsellors drawn from the faculty,
senior students of the centre and eminent Haryana based parents. It would
also be desirable to appoint a trained psychologist as a full time counsellor on
the rolls of NIFT, Haryana when the centre is fully developed. The services of
a consulting psychologist on call may also be made available for diagnostic
and remedial attention.

47

Mentor Programme:
11.9

The Indian education scenario is such that most students who go on for higher
education decide on a career choice without any prior real world experience
and are influenced by peer and family pressure. It is therefore suggested that
the Haryana Centre promotes a Mentor Programme wherein each student is
placed in direct contact with a practitioner serving as mentor who teaches
and counsels the young student in a one-in-one relationship either face-to-face
or through e-mail or through telephone.

11.10 It is recommended that NIFT alumni may be persuaded to volunteer to become

mentors and to pass on their rich experience both at NIFT and beyond to the
current students. The following sets of specific goals are suggested for the
Mentor Programme:
(i)

Improve the student experience through contact with NIFT graduates;

(ii)

Link students with professionals in their area of career interest;

(iii)

Enable alumni to continue their connection with NIFT; and

(iv)

Create a new generation of committed alumni to serve NIFT and its

future students.

11.11 The benefit of the programme from the students viewpoint is that they
develop networking skills and interact with people in their chosen career area
whilst the benefit from the alumni viewpoint is that they get an opportunity to
share their resources and experiences with current students thereby
contributing to the spawning of better professionals in their areas of work.
Clearly a mentoring relationship is a unique interaction between individuals
and therefore there can be no firm rules about what should occur in mentoring.
The outcome will clearly depend on the keenness of the student to take
advantage of the wisdom of the mentor as well as the willingness of the
alumni to pass on his knowledge and experience. Obviously participation in
the programme has to be purely on a voluntary basis both on the part of the
alumni and student.
Placement Services:
11.12 On campus placement services for graduating students is proposed to be
provided with a view towards enabling them to start their careers as a fashion
professional in challenging positions. Leading national and international
companies would be invited to the NIFT, Panchkula Campus to interview
graduates for possible placement. Graduates from NIFT, Panchkula can also
avail opportunities for being interviewed at other NIFT centres.

48

11.13 The common guidelines for availing the placement services as applicable to
other NIFT Centres would also apply to graduating students of NIFT,
Haryana. Placement activities at the Centre-level shall be coordinated by the
Regional Industry Coordinator (RIC) whilst that at the national level by the
NIFT placement cell under Head (Industry) at the NIFT Head Office.
Students are expected to be involved in a big way in the formulation of
guidelines for placement and decisions with regards companies to be invited
for placement interviews and scheduling of visits, etc.

49

12.5

At the level of the individual Campus, responsibility for executive

management vests with the Campus Directors (one for each Centre) who are
directly answerable to the DG in the discharge of their assigned functions. In
parallel to the structure at the apex level the decision support system for each
Campus Director comprises a set of Faculty and Centre Coordinators and a
Head Librarian for academic matters and a Joint Director, Deputy Director
(F&A), Assistant Director, & Accounts Officer for administrative and other
non-academic matters. The individual members of the decision support
system at the Centre level communicate directly with their counterparts at the
apex level on matters within their jurisdiction.

12.6

A State Level Advisory Committee (SLAC) under the chairmanship of Chief

Secretary of the state of Haryana or his nominee and consisting of other
members drawn from related State Govt. Departments, Industry & other
Academic Institutions will play an advisory role in matters concerning:
(i)

Generation of funds for various events, projects and other academic

activities

(ii)

To develop close synergy and linkages with the industry of the region

(iii)

Suggest ways and means for running the centre effectively within the
approved revenue budget

(iv)

Monitor and advise the NIFT centre on academic programmes

(v)

Project and promote NIFT as an institute of excellence in all forums

and

(vi)

To liaison with the State Govt for honouring of commitments given to

NIFT and solicit their support for future.

The committee is expected to meet once every quarter.

Style of Management:
12.7

The style of executive management has a crucial impact on the pursuit of

academic excellence. Clearly what is called for is a style which lays emphasis
on self management by objective. This in turn calls for appropriate
decentralization of authority and responsibility for decision-making,
introduction of a state-of-the-art office management system coupled with a
computer based MIS and a campus wide communication network to reduce
reliance on lower level clerical functionaries and privatization of many
services such as transport, watch & ward, health services, horticulture and
infrastructure maintenance, housekeeping & sanitation, etc. through utilization
of contractual services. Furthermore, the administrative machinery must be
proactive rather than reactive as appears to be the norm in most educational
institutions. Also the management system must place a premium on
transparency, the building of harmonious relationships with various
stakeholders and the promotion of a culture that inspires ethical behavior.
