NIFT, whose students won medals at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, works under which Union ministry?

The correct answer is the Ministry of Textiles, which announced the achievement of the National Institute of Fashion Technology at the competition and which NIFT thanked along with its students, experts, trainers and officials. Option A is wrong because the education ministry looks after school and higher education in general and not this institute. Option C is wrong because, although the competition is about skills, NIFT is not placed under the skill development ministry. Option D is wrong because commerce and industry is not the parent ministry either. For the institute the contest offers exposure to global occupational standards, emerging technologies and industry expectations, and what it learns there is folded back into its own training methods, which is why the institute treats the outing as more than a medal count.
