3 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY The average statistical growth in the global economy shows that the fashion and retail industries are by far the most stable and profitable sources of revenue. We had recognized this potential over a decade ago and have since then been the pioneers in bringing education in the fashion field to the creative young Bangalore. After years of inspiring individuals to immerse them in the world of fashion, we have grown not only in size but also in the number of alumni and students who have positively impacted the world around us, who by being entrepreneurs and creative professionals have helped others advance in their careers as well. We believe, in Indian Institute of Fashion Technology, that the progress of the many together has a greater value than the progress of a single individual. We promote this ideology of teamwork and encourage our students to work on their futures wholeheartedly. This dedication to being the best is what makes an IIFT ian stronger than the rest. 3 P a g e

4 ACHIEVEMENTS & COLLABORATIONS At the heart of our Institution lies the vision to give back more to the community than what we gain out of it. This reasoning has motivated us to involve ourselves, over the past decade in multiple social wellness programs in collaboration with the Ministry of Textiles, Govt. Of India, the Regional Office of the Textile Commissioner, Ministry of Small Scale Industries, and Small Industry Service Institute (MSME Development Institute) and The Government of Karnataka, Dept of Handloom & Textiles. We have various outreach and community development training programs that helps contribute skilled professionals to the Textile and Garment Industries across our country. We have also had the pleasure in being the first and only Fashion Technology Institute to have been sponsored by the Ministry of Defence, Government of India for resettlement training in Apparel Technology for military personnel. With the support of the Government of Karnataka we have five Skill Development Centres set up at Belgaum,Bijapur, Chamrajanagar, Hassan and KGF. The initiative was started to provide local manpower with an alternate industry for their livelihood. IIFT has also established a branch in Indiranagar at Bangalore, imparting Diploma and P.G Diploma programs in Fashion Designing and Boutique Management as well as weekend and short programs. IIFT entered the Limca Book of Records (2011 Edition) for conducting the largest fashion show with 82 graduating designers showcasing 542 designs in July 2010 at Bangalore.

Keeping that in mind, graduating students are offered an opportunity to present their designs, in front of a huge audience of Fashion celebrities, Fashion Designers, Apparel Industry Executives and experts from Fashion, Apparel and Retail sectors, at the Annual Fashion Show.
