Saroj to award NIFT leather students
To mark 25 years in the leather industry, Saroj International Group has decided to issue two annual awards to be presented at the final graduation show of the National Institute of Fashion Technology’s (NIFT’s) leather department.
The awards will be given for what the company considers to be the most commercial collection. The first will be awarded for leather garments and the second for leather accessories.
Award winners will receive a trophy and a cash award of Rs5,000 ($106) during the ceremony, which this year takes place on June 8 at Hotel Hyatt Regency, New Delhi.
Ritika Sethi, vice president of Saroj International Group, said: “Inspired by my experience while studying at Harvard, where lot of industry encouragements are given to the students, I feel that encouragement given by the industry to the students gives them a lot of boost, motivation and recognition.”
She added: “India is known for quality innovative leather products and this move will further promote these objectives.“
Saroj International Group manufactures and exports leather apparel and bags to the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Spain, Europe, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, Japan and Australia.
