MGM KHADI The MGM Khadi center is a state of the art

Khadi manufacturing setup in the bustling town

of Aurangabad, Maharashtra. MGM Khadi was

established in the year 2009, under the Mahatma

Gandhi Mission trust by a group of professionals

having the commitment and the will to give back to

the society. Mgm Khadi works strongly on the vision

of Mahatma Gandhi and strives to uplift people from

under privileged backgrounds of the society. As a

brand MGM Khadi consists of a variety of products

ranging from men and women clothing, kids wear,

Home décor products, accessories and handicrafts.

Broad activities of the centre consist of (a) Spinning

cotton yarns on charkha using solar energy. (b)

Weaving yarns into fabrics on handlooms. (c) Dyeing

and printing handloom fabrics using natural dyes. (d)

Producing Paithani saree using coloured silk yarns on

special handlooms. (e) Producing Fashion garments

using dyed and printed handloom fabrics.

All these activities are beneficial for MGM IFD students

as they spin cotton yarns on solar amber charkha,

learn the handloom weaving on paddle loom, learn

the Paithani weaving process, incorporate the natural

dyeing and printing in their projects. This familiarizes

the students with concept of fabric construction by

visual demonstration of the process from spinning to

weaving.

KPRT Centre aims at developing new techniques of

producing totally ecofriendly cotton fabrics using

natural dyes which are free from pollution problems

generally associated with synthetic dyes and meet the

required quality (color fastness) standards. Thus giving

our students alternative for chemical dyeing.

KPRT Centre aims at reviving handloom fabrics and

Paithani sari - Maharashtrian heritage, by introducing

specialized training program at the center and carrying

out relevant Research & Development activities.

MGM Khadi is innovating and finding various

applications of Khadi. There is a variety in the offered

product range. MGM Khadi tries to reach out to more

people through ecommerce website and makes Khadi

more readily available to common man.

Our students also getto learn the product development

stages and marketing through MGM Khadi Centre.

The Students of MGM IFD are fortunate to have MGM

Khadi, Paithani Research and training centre in the

Institute itself as it serves greatly to explore their

practical knowledge.

Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope is the Annual Fashion of MGM IFD students,

organized every year in the month of March to showcase

their developed designs. This fashion show is a wonderful

way for the students to show their talent and enthusiasm

for their future careers in the fashion industry not only to

their parents and friends, but also the community.

Students work all year round under the guidance of concerned subject teachers for the design process in putting up a collection for the show. Students not only develop individual designs but also source, construct and execute them. Kaleidoscope gives students a platform for understanding the design process from concept to creation. It gives them on job experience of fabric and material sourcing, garment assembly; custom made garment making, choreography, promotion and event management.

Nazifa Zikre B.Sc. Fashion Design

I have enjoyed each and every moment of three years at MGM IFD. The

highlight of the course is that we get practical experience of the entire thing

we learn in theory. The faculties here have a lot of professional experience,

as a result whatever they teach is not bookish but hands on from what they

have experienced. We have the best fashion design library; I could just sit for

ages going through the books.

Unnatee Nake B.Sc. Fashion Design

Anagha Devkar B.Sc. Fashion Design

As I look to when I started at MGM IFD, I can already see how much I have

grown as a student, a professional and as an individual. I am very pleased

about my learning experience and skill development provided by the three

year course. I will leave the institute with ample knowledge and a life time

of memories.

MGM IFD is the starting point for all those who want to make their mark in

the fashion industry. With huge campus, latest facilities and access to expert

faculty, the institute prepares its students to work in all areas of the existing

and innovative industry. I want to be a brilliant fashion designer and I am

sure this course has played a vital role towards it.
