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 campuses—the 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 2014–15. 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

ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15

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 institute’s 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. NID’s 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 2014–15 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 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.

Project Name: The Cuddle



“The cuddle” is a product for those who appreciate art and associate themselves with art, as art & craft is the origin of design. Taking inspiration from traditional kutch jari work on leather, the cuddle is designed to help the user sit comfortably and in the right posture, whilst being easy to carry. Canvas and vegetable dyed, tanned leather are fused together. Kutch style artwork creates a narrative on the leather. Biased canvas fabric is used for its flexibility.

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 tomorrow’s market.

4. Living Blue: Design Anthropology and the Designer’s 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 30–July 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 L—all 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 NID’s R&D Campus in Bengaluru.

INTEGRATED DESIGN SERVICES 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 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

Many MSMEs have come forward for this initiative which will help them to participate in Good Design Mark Awards of Japan. The Design Clinic Scheme continues to be a shot in the arm for the MSMEs who, with design awareness and sensitization, are now looking for more and more design intervention for their products and services. The Scheme stands out as a major tool for the benefit of Indian MSMEs in the years ahead, and affords greater opportunities to the young designers. Being one of the important and successful Schemes, the Ministry of MSME is contemplating to increase the targets and to reach out of MSMEs across the country through programmes and activities of design intervention throughout the 12th Plan period.

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.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2014–15

Format – I Prescribed under Bombay Public Trust Act

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Institute’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the Accounting principles generally accepted in India: (a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Institute as on 31 March, 2015; and (b) in the case of the Income and Expenditure Account, of the deficit for the year ended on that date.
