Introduction and Highlights of the Year

The National Institute of Design (NID) offers multidisciplinary design education and research opportunities. Its design education programmes have also earned their place in the top 25 European and Asian educational programmes in the world. The institute functions as an autonomous body under the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India and has been declared ‘Institute of National Importance’

by virtue of the National Institute of Design Act, 2014 (No.18 of 2014) which has come into force with effect from September 16, 2014.

With an experience of more than five decades in the field of design education, research, application of advanced teaching methodologies, and unparalleled design research projects, NID has attained national and international repute. It has been recognized as a scientific and industrial research organisation by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.

From being a single-campus institute, NID has grown into a multi-campus institute with a national and international profile. Presently, NID has two extension campuses—one each at Gandhinagar and Bengaluru.

From an institute mainly providing undergraduate programmes, NID has become one of the best design institutes in the world with a graduate programme (B.Des.) across 5 broad faculty streams and 20 diverse design disciplines. The institute also has state-of-the-art infrastructural facilities such as the Skill Development Labs, Knowledge Management Centre (KMC),

Information Technology (IT) Centre, and Design Vision Centre to name a few. These have helped NID establish its leadership and pre-eminence among various design institutions.

NID continues to be an aspirational ‘Institutional Global Brand’ for the youth. This is manifested in the increasing demand to secure admission at NID. The number of students, convocating from the institute each year has increased substantially; it has increased from 35 in 2000 to 338 in 2017.

(5)

NID has also signed collaborative agreements with over 80 premier design institutes across the world, facilitating increased international exposure for students and faculty. Business Week USA listed NID as an institute providing one of the top 25 European

& Asian design programmes for two consecutive years (2006 and 2007). NID was the only design institute from India to be included in the 2014 list of ‘Top 30 Design Colleges of the World’ published by Ranker, a crowdsourced rankings website operating from the USA. NID was also placed in the 8th position in the global design school league table published in Car Design News.

NID has been playing a significant role in promoting design through various first-time initiatives which include CII-NID Design Summit since 2001, Businessworld-NID Design Excellence Award since 2000, NID-ITPO Showcase since 2002, and the Design Idea Fair since 2006, all with an aim to move towards a

‘Design-enabled India’. The institute’s efforts towards becoming an effective medium for design promotion, continues to draw strength from partnerships with other global organisations such as Cumulus, World Design Organisation (formerly ICSID), ICOGRADA, IPI, and IDA and several national organisations.

NID’s efforts towards making a National Design Policy finally materialised in February 2007 when the Central

Government announced the first National Design Policy (NDP), a first among developing countries. In pursuance of the NDP, the Centre initiated steps to set up four campuses for design education one each in Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Andhra Pradesh, and Haryana on the lines of NID Ahmedabad,out of which, two of them are currently operational; namely, NID Vijayawada and NID Kurukshetra. As envisaged in the NDP, the Centre also set up the India Design Council (IDC) on March 2, 2009 with Director, NID as its Member Secretary.

NID’s collaborations with a number of national and international institutions has helped foster a culture of scientific enquiry through collaborative partnerships and for the faculty and students, this has become a platform for exchanging knowledge and ideas.

NID is a unique institution with design excellence, intellectual wealth, and time-tested educational culture that is instrumental in addressing social problems and concerns. Today, the institute’s graduates are active in all sectors of the economy and many have distinguished themselves in diverse fields such as textiles, product design, craft design and promotion, advertising, filmmaking, multimedia, automobile design, developmental communication as well as design education. The institute believes that good design is good business and that it contributes to economic prosperity and better quality of life.

‘think global and act local’.

Offering integrated design consultancy services and providing opportunities to faculty and students to get familiar with the practical applications of design knowledge, while generating revenues simultaneously.

Providing design inputs from the point of view of using design as an integrating force in varied areas such as science, technology, and management. Also, improving the quality of life through well-designed products, services, processes, and systems.

Humanising technology and integrating the physical with the virtual and digital worlds through better information and interface design by moving towards a holistic creative experience.

Providing sustainable design interventions for crafts;

handloom; rural technology; small, medium and large scale enterprises; and outreach programmes for capacity, capability, and institution building. All this would help create employment opportunities.
