Wonderful that a government secretary took time to visit and encourage these students. More such exposure from administration side would boost confidence. But I hope the designs are practical and not just runway stuff. Indian fashion needs to be wearable too.
So proud that a student from Dehradun came to Kashmir and found such wonderful education! This is what integration looks like. NIFT has done a fantastic job creating a safe and creative environment in Budgam. More of this please. 🌸
As a Kashmiri, I love seeing positive stories from our region. This is the real face of Kashmir - creativity, learning and hard work. Not the violence that media always shows. Congratulations to all 100 graduates! May your dreams take flight. 🎉
Good initiative, but we need to see more local Kashmiri students in these programs. The fact that a student from Dehradun had to come to learn about Kashmir's potential shows our local youth need more exposure too. Still, progress is progress. Hope the government supports these graduates with start-up loans.
Fashion designing from Budgam! Who would have thought even 10 years ago? This is the New India rising. Proud moment for J&K. Wish I could see the collection. Any photos available? 📸
