Vipra Sukhwal is the Principal of the Venkteshwar Institute of Fashion Technology (VIFT), Udaipur. Vipra says her college offers courses in Fashion Design, Fine Arts, Journalism and Mass Communication, and Interior Design.
Hailing from Udaipur, Vipra got her BCom degree from MLSU. She completed her Master Degree in Music. She also holds a PhD degree in Alternative Medicine. She considers herself to have experience in all the three fields, i.e. arts, commerce, and science.
Vipra is also interested in folk and classical dance. She shares that she has been performing on stage for fourteen years, mostly presenting Rajasthani folk dances, and was associated with the Maheshwari Kala Sansthan. She is thankful to Vijaylakshmi Ameta and Mahesh Ameta, with whose guidance she has reached so far in the field of dance. She also learned Kathak under the guidance of her guru at the Shivam Natya Kala Kendra. She believes that performing on stage will make you more confident, which may be helpful in your future career.
Recounting her struggles, Vipra states that she, too, experienced ups and downs in her profession and struggled to determine her true calling. Nevertheless, she persevered with her mother's support.
Among her achievements, she had won the first prize in the dance competitions in all three years of her college days. She also won an inter-college dance competition. She feels that the encouragement of her mother and blessings of her gurus have kept her motivated throughout her dancing journey. She has learned from her gurus to keep her personal and professional lives separate and focus on her goals.
Vipra enjoys keeping herself occupied. She founded Harmony Dance Academy, a dance school where she teaches Kathak and folk dance to children, which has also helped her gain more confidence.
Vipra advises the youngsters to choose their targets, keeping their future prospects in mind as the world has become a lot more competitive, and encourages them to strive towards their goals.
