Piyush Goyal said that fashion trends, product design, innovative packaging, high quality of goods and services and high exports are going to determine India’s success story in the future. He said this while chairing the ‘National Workshop on Convergence of Five Institutes’ held in New Delhi today.

The unique initiative to bring about convergence of the five institutes under the Ministry of Textiles and Commerce and Industry was initiated in 2022. The collaboration between five Institutes namely, Indian Institute of Packaging (IPP), National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), National Institute of Design (NID), Footwear Design and Development (FDDI) and Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), has the ability to build a more dynamic and integrated national design and business education ecosystem that benefits students, industries, and society as a whole. The convergence will lead to integration of knowledge, techniques, and expertise from multiple fields will facilitate transdisciplinary integration among different unique institutions in tune with the objectives of the National Education Policy 2020.
