and international repute. It has been recognized as a
scientific and industrial research organisation by the
Department of Science & Technology, Government of

Annual Report 2016-17
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.

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

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

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.

The aim of the film is to generate awareness about the
LGBT community at a social level and to enable the
society to see homosexuality for what it is—a legitimate
orientation for a segment of the population and not the
deviant, abnormal, and lust-fuelled occurrence that it so
often gets branded as. Queer women deserve a ‘model
of happiness’ as much as any other member of society
does.

Outreach Programmes
NID’s Outreach Programmes extend the institute’s 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.

NID’s 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 (IDS)
Client servicing is an integral part of NID’s 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 NID’s areas of expertise are
carefully chosen, so that institution can provide state of
the art design solution to perspective 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, design detailing and prototyping.
Through its “Earn While Learn” scheme, IDS also
facilitates students in getting involved with real life

programme focuses on making students understand the
changing dynamics of photography as a medium at the
core level, and helps them to make informed choices,
based on their learning in the classroom, and a robust
industry interface. With the diverse media domains
increasingly crossing over, the programme encourages
students to inculcate crossdisciplinary approaches and
discount genre-specific formulaic methodologies.
The pedagogical structure relies heavily on a thorough
understanding of the historic processes, contemporary
practices, emerging technologies, sociology, politics,
literature, philosophy, and visual culture. The
programme emphasizes contextual understanding of the
subject matter and a balance of rational and intuitive
processes is encouraged. The programme further aspires
to unravel, articulate, and consolidate historic and
contemporary visual trajectories inherent in the Indian
subcontinent.

of video or film, a combination of text and image,
installation, objects, etc. This year NID Photography
Design discipline has sent students on a semester-long
exchange programme to HGB.

INTERNATIONAL OPEN ELECTIVES 2017
The International Open Electives, an annual event at the
NID, is a two-week multidisciplinary workshops offered
to the students as a part of their curriculum, across the
Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and Gandhinagar campuses.
The objective of this event is to allow the students to
pick a course of their own choice other than the ‘core
courses’ they take up in their respective disciplines.
Experts from various fields are invited to offer a
186

plethora of courses on a preconceived ‘common theme’
decided for the electives for that year. Students of
B.Des (4th semester) and M.Des (2nd semester) and
‘international exchange students’ from NID’s partner
universities take up these courses covering a wider
and interesting range of subjects, held in an intensive
workshop format.
The overarching theme for the 2017 edition was
‘TIME MACHINE’ through which the participants were
expected to answer a few fundamental questions like
What if we could travel back or forth in time and space?
How would we attempt to understand and define
the context in that time and space? Whom would we
propose, conceive, design and make the ‘artefacts’
(tangible/intangible) for?
Subsequent to an overwhelming response to the
invitation calling for proposals from world over, 27
workshops were picked by the students (depending
on their interest areas) which were eventually offered
during 16–27 January 17.
The individual workshops under this common theme
which were offered by NID faculty members, experts
from India as well as abroad (exclusively for the
workshop, all the way from Japan, Canada, Sweden,
Israel and Chile), proposed to discover the past, relate to
the present or imagine the future of a subject.
There was a great diversity across these courses
ranging from Storytelling, Analogue Photography, Film/
time lapse, Cinematography, Ethnography through
Illustration, Cognition, Performing arts, Stained Glass
painting, Speculative design, Street art, Fiction, Play
Spaces for the grown ups, Trends through ‘paper
craft’, Nostalgia, Bamboo craft, Terracotta, Future-tech
(wearables) to Future workspaces.
A creative display of the outcome from each of these
workshops marked the culmination of the event at each
of the 3 campuses.
The event began on 16 January after months of
preparation, with excited students, some of whom
travelled across to other campuses for their chosen
electives, congregating at various locations for courses.
187
56 th ANNUAL REPORT
2016-17
Intensive brainstorming, researching and working
hands on with numerous media followed for two
weeks. Students immersed themselves in activities
like creating short documentaries, making stain glass
panels, shooting time lapse clips, weaving crochet
furniture, crafting basic ‘card board cameras-to shoot/
develop/print B&W images on their own, putting
together interactive installations, choreographing dance
piece, contemplating water saving solutions, recreating
childhood memories, painting street art , crafting
bamboo pieces, folding papers to create innovative
products, modelling contemporary characters using
ancient clay art in terracotta and so on.
The methodology to take the students through the
courses varied. While some went for field visits to
understand a culture, a craft or a technique, others
spent time working on the material, hands-on, software
or a process. Everyone took to library and the internet
to research about their respective topics to gain a
deeper understanding of the subject. This was followed
by sketching, brainstorming, strategizing and giving
shape to their final idea.
Having spent days and nights in shaping their ideas, a
grand display of the ‘creative outcome’ was put up by
the students on the 27 January in all 3 campuses for the
community to view, comment and learn.
The excitement was indeed evident amongst all the
participants, on one hand, due to the multidisciplinary
nature of the course and on the other, the opportunity
for a creative learning outside their mainstream
course, especially from the subject experts with great
experience and domain knowledge.
SLA PROGRAMME
Science and Liberal Arts (SLA) Courses are meant to
connect design education to its larger context in which
it functions. The SLA courses are both theoretical and
empirical in nature and deal with various subjects of
humanities, social sciences and contemporary concerns
relevant for augmenting the conceptual framework of
design. At the PG level they’re also exploratory and
research oriented in nature. SLA courses are common
and compulsory for students of all the disciplines.
Following SLA courses were conducted during the
National Institute of Design
period under review at NID Gandhinagar Campus:
COMPARATIVE AESTHETICS COURSE FACULTY – DR.
MIHIR BHOLEY, COORDINATOR, PG, SLA
This week long module conducted at the First Semester
acquaints the students with the oriental and occidental
concepts of aesthetic theories and nuances expressed in
various mediums. It helps them develop the sensitivity
towards aesthetics expressions and manifestations
and use them in design. The method includes both
theoretical discussions and often performance by
accomplished artistes.
APPROACHES TO INDIAN SOCIETY COURSE FACULTY
– DR. MIHIR BHOLEY, COORDINATOR, PG SLA
This course introduces the students to the socio-
cultural-political and economic dimensions of Indian
society. It helps them appreciate India’s historical
and civilizational context, diversity of belief and
expressions, core values, challenges and future
direction. Familiarization with India’s own socio-
cultural dimensions helps students develop their design
concepts and models which are relevant for the nation
and its people.
PUBLIC POLICY AND DESIGN (ELECTIVE). COURSE
FACULTY – DR. MIHIR BHOLEY, COORDINATOR, PG,
SLA
The objective of this elective course is to acquaint
the students with the nature and scope of various
public policies viz. healthcare, transportation, housing,
urbanization, environment etc. and explore the
possibilities of design intervention in these areas to
improve policy performance and service delivery. It’s
also meant to connect design with the larger issues in
the social sector and develop conceptual models of
design solutions.
Annual Report 2016-17
ANTHROPOLOGY AND DESIGN: UNRAVELLING
MATERIAL CULTURE FOR THE CONTEMPORARY
WORLD (ELECTIVE). VISITING FACULTY – DR. BINOD
C AGRAWAL.
The main thrust of this course was to deliberate on
issues raised by Anthropologists especially in the Asian
context related to material culture and design. This
course was also meant to discuss and analyse how design
products as cultural products have influenced cultural
homogenization within and between multi-lingual world
especially Asia with special reference to India.
SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE OF COMMUNICATION DESIGN
(ELECTIVE). VISITING FACULTY – DR. ARBIND SINHA
This elective was meant to acquaint design students
with the methods to make correlation between the
normative behaviour and the communication design and
find out the guiding principle behind the communicative
pattern in society which lies within the culture. The
proposed course also discussed the nuances of
Society, Culture, and Communication that a social
communication designers need to understand.
INDIAN ECONOMY AND DESIGN (ELECTIVE).
COURSE FACULTY – DR. MIHIR BHOLEY,
COORDINATOR, PG, SLA
The role of design in economic development is now
an accomplished fact. It has its own share in the
economic growth of the nations and contribution to the
national income which comes from sectors as diverse
as products, craft, textile, apparel, jewellery, and so on.
But, it largely goes unnoticed because of the lack of
empirical data to establish the contribution of design in
national income and GDP. The fact that design is now
being considered a force-multiplier for the industry
cannot be ignored. India’s National Design Policy bears
its testimony. This exploratory course discussed the
design driven models of economic development based
on global and Indian case studies.
