India's Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD) is known for its work with disadvantaged youth, and it's now offering master's and bachelor's degrees in fashion design, textile design, fashion communication, fashion styling, fashion business, and interior design, the Times of India reports.

Pearl Academy, an institution of learning in New Delhi, will be offering the degrees, which will be recognized by the RGNIYD.
