Piyush Goyal today asked the management of Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) to set up scholarships to ensure that no student who is talented enough and competent enough to pursue studies at IIFT is discouraged from doing so because of the fee structure or living expenses. He added that this would help usher in more diversity to the campus by bringing in students from all backgrounds and all parts of the nation, especially from aspirational districts.
He was attending the 55th Convocation of Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) in New Delhi today. Congratulating all the students who received their degrees, the Minister appreciated IIFT for being ranked amongst the leading B-schools in India and abroad. He also extended his best wishes to the institute for completing 60 years of service and added that this was a good point to reflect and introspect on the past and future.
