Textile Institute of Pakistan has celebrated it’s carnival on Dec 04 2009. The event was beautifully arranged by Textile Institute Students Forum. Many students and Texperts brightened the night with their colorful yet scary costumes. The theme was Halloween with the Desi touch. The event started with the coverage of AAG TV who not only captured the scary and desi night in their cameras but also made the crowd to dance the night away. The event included “Dance competition” and “Best costume award” and cash prizes were awarded to deserving participants by the host of AAG TV. The location of carnival was decorated with scary theme in mind; there were graves with RIP signs on them which were not only frightening but became favourite photo shoot spot for the students.

It is very heartening that the work of students has been appreciated. Whatever good there was in the project was because of the students themselves. My basic objectives of the project assignment are:

1. To provide an opportunity to the students to apply the basic concepts of management.

2. To develop leadership abilities in them. As all the students cannot become leaders, yet they can become good followers by understanding the systems.

3. A successful project is not my target as people learn more by failure. The main idea is for them to understand whatwe nt wrong and how it could have been planned and/or executed better. This year, for example, they learned about the chain of command.

I acknowledge the support of all the faculty and staff for the successful execution of these projects, some of them are yet to take place. The positive role played by Saira Danish, Ali Hafeez, Seema Jilani, and Mohsin Raza is specially appreciated.

I believe there is a vast gap between what we are taught and what happens in practical life in the textile industry of Pakistan. We are being taught all about textiles form spinning to weaving to non-woven and many more, certainly more than what people know in the industry but we don’t get the chance to interact with people from the industry. We don’t know what people from the industry are currently focused on, what are their main concerns is it cheaper powergeneration or labour shortages or quality control in their respective fields like spinning, knitting etc. Product development is also a major concern like for example if a student wants to make running shoes like nike and addidas do. We know that the material used is mostly textiles but we don’t know how it is produced there are other numerous products like these which we can learn to produce with the knowledge that we are taught at TIP. Focusing on these issues and raising student awareness will be the main objective of the society.

So far these are the activities we plan on doing. We need your feedback and support to make it better. Read the rest of this entry »

Another project of TIP Dramatics society…coming soon!

TISF did it again. Finally, after tiring elections campaigns and debates the TISF was able to put forth their first ravishing event of this semester. The Freshmen GALA! Despite of all those small issues that TISF faced during the GALA, it went really well. The show was really entertaining and this year we had something more than the old conventional segments of GALA. Hat’s off for new TISF and for all those who were a part of the managing team. Well done boys keep it up!!

Instead of having the same old conventional segments this year we had some new ones introduced in GALA; Talent Hunt and TIP Freshmen Awards. We also had the Oath taking Ceremony of the newly elected TISF board and the TISF coordinator took the oath. Read the rest of this entry »

Newly elected TISF body finally kicked out its very first event “Freshman Gala 2009”. TIP has always this tradition of welcoming freshman with music, dance and drama performances. Though it was late this time due to Ramadan and then due to the postponement of elections; Gala proved to be a fresh welcome for the newcomers.

Equipped with scintillating dancing performers (only male ), musical performances and few of the funny videos; freshman gala was witnessed by almost every student, some of the faculty and staff members as well. Event started with the oath taking ceremony which obviously went in extreme noise followed by a welcoming video for freshman. With the graduation of few talented video and drama makers; videos were good to applaud but not that attractive as they used to be in the past. Read the rest of this entry »

Flyer of an uncoming event by Literary society is torn off by someone who seems to be frustrated by these kind of events here at TIP.
