President Droupadi Murmu addressed the 2026 NIFT combined convocation in New Delhi, calling on fashion graduates from 18 campuses to develop globally competitive products while remaining rooted in Indian craft traditions. She emphasised sustainable design choices including local materials, waste reduction and circular-economy practices, framing these not as optional extras but as core professional responsibilities. Murmu also urged graduates to actively support artisan communities by improving their market access, productivity and incomes, connecting fashion education directly to India's broader Viksit Bharat 2047 development goals.
