INTRODUCTION AND
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
National Institute of Design is a multidisciplinary
institute in the field of design education and research.
Its design education programmes have also earned their
place in the top 25 European and Asian educational
programmes in the world. By an Act of Parliament,
in July 2014, the institute has been declared as an
Institution of National Importance by the NID Act
(No.18 of 2014) and has come into force with effect
from 16th September, 2014. An experience of more than
five decades in the field of design education, research,
application of advanced teaching methodologies, and
unparalleled design research projects have together
crowned the National Institute of Design (NID) with
international repute. It has been recognized as a
scientific and industrial research organization by the
Department of Science and Technology, Government
of India.
From being a single campus institute, NID has grown
into a multicampus institute with a national and
international profile. NID now has two extension
campusesthe Post Graduate Campus at Gandhinagar
and the R&D Campus at 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.) spreading across eight design disciplines and
seventeen sector-specific post-graduate programmes
(M.Des.) in diverse design domains, state-of-the-art
infrastructural facilities such as the Skill Development
Labs, Knowledge Management Centre, Information
Technology (IT) Centre, and Design Vision Centre.
These have helped NID establish its leadership and preeminence 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. There has been a
positive increase in the intake of students, from about
83 in 2000 to 360 in the academic year 201415. Also,
the number of students convocating from the institute
each year has undergone a change; it has increased from
35 in 2000 to 271 in 2014.
NID has also signed collaborative agreements with over
60 premier design institutes across the world, facilitating
increased international exposure for students and
faculty. Business Week USA listed NID as 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 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-IPTO Showcase since 2002, and the Design
Idea Fair since 2006, all with an aim to move towards a
Design-enabled India. The institutes efforts towards
becoming an effective medium for design promotion,
continues to draw strength from partnerships with
other global organisations such as ICSID, ICOGRADA,
IPI, and IDA and several national organisations. NIDs
efforts towards making a National Design Policy finally
materialised in February 2007 when the Government
of India announced the first National Design Policy
(NDP), a first among developing countries. In pursuance
of the NDP, the Government of India has 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. As envisaged in the NDP,
the Government of India also set up the India Design
Council (IDC) on March 2, 2009 with Director, NID as
its Member Secretary. The IDC met twice during the
year 201415 to chalk out various design promotional
programmes. NID has links and collaborations with a
number of national and international institutions. This
has helped foster a culture of scientific enquiry through
collaborative partnerships. 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 institutes 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.

RESEARCH THRUST
The Research & Publications department at NID
undertook various activities that focus on the
academic and developmental aspects of design.
These initiatives reflect the focused vision and
research acumen of the faculty and students of the
institute. Eight faculty members have taken up
design research projects of their interest. This has
resulted in more research papers being published.
The Research & Publications department provided
research/project opportunities to thirteen
students.
New Initiatives
1. NID-Indian Railways Design Centre
A committee consisting of executive directors
of various departments from the Railway Board,
Ministry of Railways visited NID on April 3 & 4,
2014 for better appreciation of NIDs potential
utilization of the proposed Railway Design Centre
at NID. The committee visited both Ahmedabad
and Gandhinagar campuses and interacted with
faculty and staff members. A joint meeting was
held with all stakeholders. The committee will
apprise the Railway Board of the same and it is
expected that the approval for release of the
corpus to NID will be granted soon.
37
2. National Sizing Standards for India

NID has submitted a proposal to the Jamsetji Tata
Trust for restructuring the Jamsetji Tata Chair
for Universal Design at NID. The new proposal
addresses the need for developing an Indian
anthropometric database nationwide, which will
be disseminated to all sectors of design for the
industry in India. While it is believed that a number
of other educational institutes, universities,
and R&D organizations have developed certain
human body dimensions/data sets through
relevant research, such data are still unorganized
and not statistically valid enough for use by any
specific industry in its totality, absoluteness, and
completeness. A national seminar on National
Sizing Standards in India was held at NID in
August 2013 to initiate this activity.
3. Innovation Centre for Natural Fibre (ICNF)
NID has set up an Innovation Centre for Natural
Fibre at the PG Campus, Gandhinagar with a
focus on improvement in natural fibres processing
techniques, capacity building in natural fibres
development, and utilization through innovation
in design, engineering, and technology. The
centre has prioritized some natural fibres of
national importance such as banana, bamboo,
coir, and hemp for exploration. In this pursuit, it
is networking with institutions within India and
abroad, to appropriate and create sustainable
designs applications using these fibres as a primary
material. Also, significant benefits to the local
and national economy can be attained with a
focused programme that can leverage design and
technology for sustainable livelihoods, as well
as create cutting edge solutions for tomorrows
market.
4. Living Blue: Design Anthropology and the

Designers role in the shifting meanings of
Indigo in India and China
NID and Swinburne University have signed an
MoU, under the aegis of which, a workshop was
held focusing on natural dyeing practices of
India, especially on the Indigo dyeing traditions
of Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. This workshop
focused to gain the anthropological understanding
of the meanings of Indigo, by way of engaging with
craftspersons and the material exploring traditions
with the contemporary minds that appreciate the
traditional values. The workshop was conducted
from June 30July 11, 2014. Demonstrations,
sketching of the design motifs related to cultural
values, dyeing techniques, sketching, drawing, and
concept presentations were part of this workshop.
Experts in the field from China, Australia, and
India anchored this workshop. A field visit was
conducted in India also, where a team comprising
V. Sakthivel from National Institute of Design, Prof.
Elizabeth Tunstall, Dr. Karen Hughes, and Ms. Anna
Lall from Swinburne University of Technology,
Australia travelled to Andhra Pradesh, Telengana,
and Kutch to study how designers worked with
craftspersons involved with working with indigo
dye in their products.
5. Collaboration Agreement with Toshiba
Corporation, Japan
NID will collaborate with the Toshiba
Corporationand carry out research on local
business needs in India and propose New Business
Design or New Service Design with local fit
ideas with values based on the research. This
initiative will be spearheaded from NIDs R&D
Campus in Bengaluru.
A national workshop was held at the PG Campus,

Gandhinagar from July 2223, 2014.

participants confirmed that generally, cool

colours are preferred to warm colours. In a
second study limited to Indian participants
using NCS samples, a gender difference
was replicated: women prefer purplish to
bluish-green interval while men prefer the
greenish-yellow to orangey interval. In a third
experiment, the possibility to derive a colour
circle in which distance between samples are
perceptually equal, was looked into. The final
documentation of the research is submitted to
Asian Paints.
The project is an initiative of the Ministry of

Human Resource Development (MHRD) and
seeks to promote involvement of information
and communication technologies (ICT) to
enhance quality and reach of design education
in India. The work on the project is in progress.

OUTREACH PROGRAMMES
NIDs Outreach Programmes extend the
institutes experience and training facilities to
the service of those outside its regular education
and client service activities. These programmes
help build a network of design collaboration
towards economic and social priorities between
the institute and organisations, and groups, and
individuals all over India. These networks help
extend design application to those areas that are
still new to design.
46
NIDs efforts are enriched by the experience of

its Outreach collaborators which range from
industrial bodies (particularly small, medium
and hand industries) and other institutions
of education and training, to voluntary
organisations and central or state bodies working
in priority sectors. Workshop and training
programmes are tailored to the specific needs
of particular groups, aimed at assisting them
to put design awareness in schools, at primary
and secondary levels. A list of various outreach
programmes and projects undertaken during the
year is provided at Annexure 5.

INTEGRATED DESIGN SERVICES

Client servicing is an integral part of NIDs activity.
Through Integrated Design Services (IDS) NID
undertakes consultancy projects and professionally
delivers design solutions in various areas of design
disciplines.
The projects are undertaken by faculty mainly to
bring market realities to the design studios of NID
in a multidisciplinary environment for the benefit of
clients. Projects in line with NIDs areas of expertise
are carefully chosen, so that institution can provide
state of the art design solution to clients.
Consultancy assignment at NID starts with an
enquiry from the client mentioning details of their
probable design requirement. In many cases, an
enquiry is followed by the meeting with the client
in order to understand the scope of the project
and creative design brief. Based on the design brief,
a techno-commercial proposal is made and sent to
the client for approval. Design intervention is carried
out in various phases which involve initial research,
concept development and design detailing,
prototyping, user testing and finalisation of design.
IDS also facilitates students to work on live
professional projects by assisting faculty through the
Earn While You Learn scheme.
Over the last 50 years, NID has successfully
completed many projects of national importance
which includes logo design for more than 500
Government, Semi-Government and Private
Organizations ranging from SBI, Doordarshan, Right
to Information, CBI, Indian Airlines, Hindustan
Liver etc. Some of the other important projects are

INDIA DESIGN COUNCIL (IDC)

The National Design Policy was adopted by
the Central Government in February 2007 and
subsequently, the India Design Council was
constituted in March 2009. The India Design
Council became a registered society under the
Societies Registration Act of 1860 (Act No.21 of
1860) from 19th May, 2012.
The India Design Mark is a design standard, a
symbol, which recognizes good design. India Design
Council grants India Design Mark after evaluating
good design through a systemized process. India
Design Mark is initiated in cooperation with Good
Design Award, Japan. India Design Mark symbolizes
product excellence in form, function, quality, safety,
sustainability and innovation and communicates
that the product is usable, durable, aesthetically
appealing & socially responsible
Achievements of the India Design Council
during the year included:

India Design Mark is a design standard, a symbol,
which recognizes good design. India Design
Council grants India Design Mark after evaluating
good design through a systemized process. India
Design Mark is initiated in cooperation with Good
Design Award, Japan. India Design Mark symbolizes
product excellence in form, function, quality, safety,
sustainability and innovation and communicates
that the product is usable, durable, aesthetically
appealing & socially responsible.
70
The India Design Mark process for 2015 was

announced on the occasion of World Industrial
Design Day on June 29, 2014. A total of 88
applications qualified for Stage 2 evaluations out of
which 58 products were awarded the I Mark.
The stage 2 assessments and Jury took place at
Freedom Park, Bengaluru during February 19 and
20. The jury was followed by a public exhibition of I
Mark Granted products on February 21 and 22. To
open the event to a larger public, a series of activities,
talks and workshops were conducted along side the
exhibition.
Along with the IMark 2015 granted products, a small
exhibition of GMark (Japan) and DeMark (Thailand)
also took place at the same venue.
The India Design Mark granted products have been
exhibited in many trade exhibitions such as Constro
2014 at Pune and Knowledgexpo 2014 at Delhi.
Design Seminars
The council initiated design seminars this year. The
purpose of the seminars was to communicate the
role of design in creating innovation and building
sustainable competitive advantage for companies as
well as to promote the India Design Mark.
The council collaborated with the Confederation
of Indian Industry (CII) to hold these seminars. The
seminar at Kolkata was held on September 24 and at
Delhi on October 10, 2014.
71
Both the seminars were well attended and served

the basic objective. After the success of the first two
seminars, the council plans to hold multiple such
seminars in different Indian cities during June
October 2015.
Design Education
Design Education Quality Mark Workshop
In pursuance of the National Design Policy, 2007,
the India Design Councils mandate to raise Indian
Design Education to global standards of excellence
remains steadfast.
In reference to the same, the council in
collaboration with the Quality Assurance Agency,
UK (QAA) and support of British Council, has
evolved a quality code for setting and maintaining
academic standards, programme design & approval
along with programme monitoring & review for
design education institutions in India.
Taking this further, India Design Council conducted
a 2-day training workshop from 25th-26th March
2015 at NID, Paldi Campus, Ahmedabad aimed at
training potential Indian assessors and Program
Reviewers in undertaking the review of design
education institutions using the established
quality code. Dr. Penny McCracken from QAA,
UK conducted the workshop, which saw the
attendance of 44 people from over 28 design
schools across the country.
72
The applications for the Design Education Quality

Mark are set to open in May 2015.
Re-thinking Basic Design Pedagogy Workshop
The importance of teaching Basic Design or
Foundation-level design in design education is
widely acknowledged. While different design
disciplines may have their domain specific nuances,
it is the Basic Design which binds all of them
together by laying the foundation of a competent
and informed designer.
India Design Council invited design faculty from
all across the country, from various disciplines
participated in this immersive experience. Design
professionals interested in teaching were also
welcomed.
The two-day intensive program held on 27th-28th
March, 2015 at NID, Paldi Campus, Ahmedabad was
a not only a platform for members of various design
institutions to share their best practices, exercises,
pedagogies and methodologies along with their
intended outcomes but also a wonderful opportunity
to network and connect with their peers.
Occupation and Skills Standards
The India Design Council has setup another
objective to evolve design skills and occupational
standards for India. These standards will be helpful
in documenting different job occupations within
the design industry in India and design departments
of businesses operating in India. The standard will

document the different skill sets needed to meet
these job occupations.
The standards so evolved will provide a means for
the academic community, industry and society
to describe the nature and characteristics of
programmes in a specific subject or subject area.
They will also represent general expectations about
standards for the award of qualifications at a given
level in terms of the attributes and capabilities
that those possessing qualifications should have
demonstrated.
The standards will document possible job
occupations outside the design industry where
design skills could become useful and hence
could create additional avenues for design-trained
students. Similarly, the standards will outline the
needed design skills amongst other education
domains such as Engineering and Management and
in school education.
The India Design Council will be working with
Design Council, UK and the International Skills
Standards Organization, UK (INSSO) to develop
these standards.
