In which decade was the ‘Fashion Design Council of India’ established?

• A. 1940s
• B. 1970s
• C. 1980s
• D. 1990s

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) was established in the 1990s. It was founded in 1999 with the aim of promoting Indian fashion design and providing a platform for Indian designers to showcase their work both domestically and internationally.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

(1) 1940s: The 1940s was a period marked by India's struggle for independence, and the fashion industry did not have organized bodies like FDCI at that time.

(2) 1970s: While the fashion industry in India began to gain more recognition in the 1970s, the Fashion Design Council of India was not established during this time.

(3) 1980s: The 1980s also saw growth in fashion, but it was in the 1990s that FDCI was officially founded to support the growing fashion industry in India.

Thus, the correct answer is (4) 1990s.
