Sonia Gandhi at NIFT, Raebareli recollects Indira Gandhi’s dress sense

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi attended the convocation of National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) and laid foundation stone of its new building at her Parliament constituency, Raebareli.

While addressing the gathering, the Congress President said “In my view fashion does not mean opulence.  Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was a Member of Parliament from this constituency, had an innate sense of fashion and the simplicity of her elegance was admired all over the world”.

Appreciating the dress sense and simplicity of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the Congress President said “Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was a Member of Parliament from this constituency, had an innate sense of fashion and the simplicity of her elegance was admired all over the world”.

Expressing her happiness to lay the foundation stone for the permanent centre Sonia Gandhi said “Five and half years back I was privileged to start the NIFT centre at Raebareli at its temporary premises and today I am delighted to have laid the foundation stone for its permanent centre and also addressing this convocation”.

“Adding more and more ornamentation to our garments is very easy but that does not add up to the fashion. To find the right colour combination, cut and proportion in a garment to ensure that it is comfortable as well is more challenging for a designer but it results in a  garment that is timelessly stylish and elegant” added and Member of Parliament from Raebareli.

NIFT, Rae Bareli, is the first centre to be set up in any backward area of the country and the foundation was laid by Sonia Gandhi.  The Raebareli NIFT Centre had become operational from August, 2007. In November 2007, the government had decided to set up a full-fledged permanent Centre in place of an extension Centre at Raebareli.
