New Delhi: The Indira
Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has launched eight new
programmes in collaboration with the Footwear Design and
Development Institute (FDDI), an official said Tuesday.
The five undergraduate and three postgraduate programmes include
fashion merchandizing and retail management, footwear technology,
creative designing, leather goods and accessories design among
others.
"These programmes will open new avenues for students and will help
in producing trained manpower for export-oriented industries
working in field of footwear, leather and other allied products,"
said IGNOU Vice Chancellor V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai.
According to officials, the courses will orient footwear
industries and their research and development laboratories to
initiate new educational programmes and to upgrade the knowledge
of practicing workers, semi-skilled and skilled personnel in
footwear industries.
"Under this collaboration FDDI will impart full-time training and
IGNOU would offer the degrees to the students," Pillai added.
Citing the relevance and requirement of the collaboration, Rajeev
Lakhara, Managing Director, FDDI, said that with an increase in
the branches of FDDI and its students, it had become imperative to
provide degrees to the students so that the new programmes are at
par with other universities.
"With this new development, students would be able to apply for
higher study and also apply for central or state government jobs,"
he added.
