The Growing Hold of Fashion Education in India

Indian fashion has carved itself a niche in the fashion world. Fashion designers from India are becoming more and more popular both abroad and in their country. Indian fashion is flexible and adaptable, creating more room for experimentation. Ask any designer and he or she will tell you that nothing comes close to the thrill of witnessing his or her design achieve popularity and success.

Beauty pageants and other international shows that require contestants from all cultures have done well to promote Indian fashion. Fashion designers tailor their pieces according to the model, and a beautiful piece worn by a beautiful model will be good enough for publicity. Fashion worn for the whole world to see need not be gaudy and loud. Indian fashion designers have also been known to set trends when the world sees Indian clothing walk on runways, complete with accessories and headwear.

Fashion design is also gaining popularity as a course. In fact, it is one of the most coveted courses in colleges and universities. Students are given exposure to the world of fashion through inviting esteemed guests and internships in fashion design houses.

In terms of casual wear, motifs and block prints appearing on pants or shirts have been a hit with the youth of India. Formal functions call for gowns that have embellishments or embroidery. Ikkat or kashmiri prints can do wonders to add beauty to a chiffon or georgette gown.

Materials are as rich in quantity as tradition in India. The country exports large quantities of cotton for casual wear. With the rising popularity of Indian fashion, the myth that fashion design is not a lucrative career has been busted. Fashion has given students a way of expressing themselves and being known in the international arena.

Most of the Indians are a frustrated lot

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

The wise people of India who are having a look on the people of India, they come to the conclusion that most of the Indians are a frustrated lot. This frustration can be observed by having the first look on their faces and by their first dealing with these people. If we question the people visiting this country, they shall say that people of India are a crowd, the beggars are on the higher side and most of the Indians want to cheat the people coming from outside. Some people coming from abroad have passed adverse remarks against India. Some people have said that India is a country where the people are illiterate, unemployed, poor, houseless, beggars, backward or the like. all these remarks passed by the visitors are condemning us and that is the reason we are not getting encouragement, but we are getting frustration. We ourselves are not satisfied with the life we are living here what is this life for us which we never desired. Mahatma Gandhi who is known now as father of this nation had been giving us assurance that after independence, we shall be setting a good rule in India, but all his wishes have gone when he himself was not allowed to live here and see how he could establish a good rule in India.

If we have a study and if we are interested to find out the grounds on the basis of which these Indians are frustrated, we shall have to examine the following items of life facing the people of India:-

(1) Whether we are providing proper education to our people?

(2) Whether we are providing proper training to our people?

(3) Whether our people are getting proper adjustment in life i.e. on work?

(4) Whether our people are earning proper wages with which they could run their family administration well?

(5) Whether our people are having security in times of illness, in time of pregnancy, in time of old age, in time of accidents, in time of long term illness, in time of getting treatment or the common contingencies of life and facing the common people?

(6)Whether the people are safe from the criminals, people who are committing sins and misconducts?

(7) Whether the people are getting proper administration and proper administration of justice ?

(8) Whether the woman is getting proper treatment in the house of her own parents and in the house of her in laws ?

(9) Whether the children are safe and they are given proper education and are not put at work before they get majority ?

(10) Whether there is no youth unemployed ?

(11) Whether we could know that the youths who are unemployed and idle shall turn drug addicts, terrorists and people who could be deployed to indulge in riots.

(12) Whether the people are facing discrimination on the basis of religion, caste, colour, sex and creed ?

(13)Whether there is no big space between the earnings of common people and the rich ?

(14) Whether the people are not obliged to pay bribe and whether the people in power are not committing scams, scandals, muddles, taking bribes, indulging in corruption or selling the jobs ?

(15) Whether the people are living a safe life?

(16) Whether we could stop this dowry system ?

(17) Whether the common people could have an approach to the police and to the people administering justice because at the present most of the inmates in jails are poor people?

(18) Whether all are having reasonable living accommodation, reasonable living, reasonable clothes, reasonable treatment when they are ill?

(19)Whether they are satisfied with the people they have elected to run the administration ?

(20) Whether they are given proper respect when they approach the state or its wings ?

(21) Whether the rich and the powerful are not exploiting the position of the poor and weak?

These are some of the points which are to be looked into. These are the points on the basis of which the poor and common people are suffering. It is on record that much had not been done on these points and that is the reason the poor and weak are still suffering. That is the reason when majority of our people are frustrated and sad. The state, all wise people, people in the administration and people running religious institutions should see that all these hurdles be removed and they all should ensure that the people should be happy and satisfied so that they could turn happy and come out of rustration.

Information Technology in India provides a significant amount of employment in the service sector. The most prominent areas are the IT capital Bangalore (the Silicon Valley of India) and Chennai. India’s education system produced more technically proficient people than the industry in India could employ during the 1950’s.This meant that many Indian IT specialists immigrated, particularly to the U.S. By the 1960’s as many as 10,000 Indians were estimated to have settled in the U.S. The U.S. technological lead was driven by the brain power of these brilliant immigrants.

During the early 1990’s VSAT links were becoming more and more available. In 1993 the government in India allowed individual companies to have their own VSAT links. This allowed work to be done in India and to be transmitted abroad directly. These links are very reliable so it’s as if you have a team working for you in your own office.

Through the 1990’s there was another wave of Indian immigrants to the U.S. By 2000 it was estimated that there was 1.7million Indian Americans. This immigration was mostly highly educated technologically proficient people. India’s reputation for a technologically skilled workforce has been well deserved.

The IT services sector contributes 40% of India’s GDP and 30% of export earnings as of 2006, while employing only 25% of its workforce.

Outsourcing has become a major business in India. For companies based in North America or Europe in particular, outsourcing to India is an opening to a skilled team of technologically proficient people.

The European Union and India have joined together in the field of science and technology with a joint venture to open a Software Education and India Software Development in Bangalore.

Cambodia Calls on Indian SMEs

For years, Cambodia has lived under the shadows of its economically superior neighbours—Malaysia and Thailand. This Southeast Asian country has made a gradual transition from an agro-based economy to an emerging manufacturing hub of Asia.

Its open economy, investment-friendly environment and unexploited commercial avenues are attracting the Indian SMEs to explore business opportunities in this largely untapped market.

View of the past…

In the 1990s, Cambodia initiated efforts to promote industrialisation across sectors. This strategic move however received a major jolt in 1997-98 when the Cambodian economy went through its worst crisis. Economic activity in the country plunged to a record low and prospects of achieving financial prosperity became bleak.

A major turning point came in 1999 when the Cambodian economy made a recovery, and the government began implementing developmental policies. That year, Cambodia became a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and agreed to lower tariff rates for trade with other ASEAN members.

Consequently, the Cambodian economy registered a 4% growth during the period, reviving hopes of business enterprises in the country. Today, Cambodia is an ideal business destination for investors looking at setting up manufacturing units for export. In view of this positive business outlook, Cambodia is also trying to attract Indian investors, especially the SMEs.

Growing sectors…

Tourism, garments, fishing, wood and wood products, rubber, rice milling and gem mining are some of the key industries in Cambodia. It is a major exporter of rice, rubber, timber, clothing, tobacco and footwear, while cigarettes, gold, motor vehicles, petroleum products and pharmaceutical products dominate its import basket.

Analysts opine that Cambodia is a lucrative market for the Indian SMEs to export raw materials used for pharmaceutical products, garment industry, machinery and automobile components. Alternately, chief articles that the Cambodian SMEs can supply to India include rubber and fish products. Market experts further suggest that the Indian SMEs should step up efforts to foray into segments such as the pharmaceutical industry, information technology (IT) services and education sectors in Cambodia.

Notably, some of the leading Indian companies in the real estate and hospitality segments have shown a keen interest in undertaking property development projects in Cambodia.

Trade ties…

Government authorities in both India and Cambodia realise that to boost the Indo-Cambodian trade ties in the near future, it is extremely pivotal to implement appropriate policies. This understanding led to the formation of the Cambodia-India Entrepreneurship Development Centre (CIEDC) in 2006. CIEDC is a unique platform serving the new entrepreneurs who want to set up their business in Cambodia.

Similarly, the Indian government runs the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme to train Cambodian entrepreneurs. These technical exchanges aim to provide the best industrial training to the next generation of entrepreneurs in India and Cambodia as well as an impetus to the SME sector in particular. According to Indian analysts, these initiatives will pave a new way for domestic SMEs who are looking to expand their reach in the international market.
