Scheme for OBC quota reservation in NIFT
The Cabinet approved the proposal from National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Ministry of Textiles for implementation of OBC quota reservation in the Institute. This is a scheme in which existing NIFT Centres will be further strengthened to accommodate increase in student intake due to implementation of OBC quota reservation which is a statutory requirement. This will be taken up as part of the central scheme of grants to National Institute of Fashion Technology to be implemented through 2008-2010. The scheme will accommodate the extra OBC students admitted in various centres and open doors for increasing number of students in subsequent years.
