[Maddy_C]

yet another article.. this one will probably help those friends who have given up on this sector/field!!
(well this one also has some mention of "NIFT" as well, coming right for "the minister", which i noticed later, after going thru the entire article)

Textile industry to receive US$ 35 billion impetus by 2012
The Indian textile industry is projected to receive an impetus worth US$ 35 billion as investments by 2012, informed Textiles Minister, Shankarsinh Vaghela on June 7, 2008. "A total 30 integrated textiles parks have been sanctioned under the Scheme for Integrated Textiles Park (SITP), attracting investment of US$ 3.92 billion, with an expected turnover of US$ 6.32 billion annually," he added. These parks would commence operations by the end of 2008-09 and 10 more parks would be further added by 2012 under SITP, said Vaghela.
"The textile industry is increasingly embracing modern technology and work processes, becoming more competitive, building strong brand equity for its products, and consistently achieving higher growth rates than ever in its long history,” he said.
Furthermore, a sum of US$ 13.83 million has been approved for the creation of six jute parks. The plan would give entrepreneurs the amenities and services like those offered in the export processing zones.
These initiatives are expected to augment export figures. The textiles exports were US$ 20.5 billion in 2007-08, and the figure is likely to increase by 20 per cent during the present fiscal.
The minister also revealed that three centres of National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) would be started soon in Bhopal, Patna and Shillong. Lately, two centres of NIFT have been started at Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh, and at Kannur in Kerala.

Heyy Puysss

There's a real goood News for all of uu... As I told u some time back, I had some friends in NIFT doing the Management and design space.. I called one today from NIFT Delhi and asked him abt the couse and future prospects... He said the course is really good and had very good prospects... He is currently doing internship at GAP.. He rated it better than any TOP MAT institute.. He also said that every second or third person he has met during his interns is a NIFTian... The drop in placements is a temporary scenario but the future is bright...

All this talk has definitely cleared any iota of a doubt I had.. I am going for NIFT SLAM... BANG... With No doubts left there in my mind at all... See u guys at NIFT during councilling...
