Annual
Report
2013-14
From an institute mainly providing undergraduate
diploma programmes, NID has become one of the best
design institutes in the world with a graduate-level
diploma programme spreading across eight design
disciplines and eighteen sector-specific post-graduate
programmes in diverse design domains. The institute
also has state-of-the-art infrastructural facilities such
as Skill Development Labs, Knowledge Management
Centre, Information Technology (IT) Centre, and
Design Vision Centre; these have helped NID establish
its leadership and pre-eminence among various design
institutions.
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 thrice during the year 2013-14 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 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
2013-14. Also, the number of students’ convocating
from the institute each year has undergone a change;
it has increased from 35 in 2000 to 300 in 2013.
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 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 theDesign
Idea Fair since 2006, to move towards a ‘Designenabled India’. The institute’s efforts towards
becoming an effective medium for design promotion,

New Development in
IT Centre
• The existing internet bandwidth of
130 mbps at Ahmedabad campus has
been increased to 1024 mbps to handle
enormous internet usage and facilitate
student’s research work.
Research
Thrust
• NID campus network has expanded
and upgraded on 10-Gigabit uplink and
IPV6 ready (suggested by letter No.
11(4)/2010-BE, Dept. of industrial Policy
& Promotion, Government of India), the
• National Knowledge Network (NKN)
project is aimed at establishing a
strong and robust internal Indian
network which will be capable
of providing secure and reliable
connectivity. Using NKN, all vibrant
institutions with vision and passion
will be able to transcend space
and time limitations in accessing
information and knowledge and
derive the associated benefits
for themselves and for society.
The purpose of such a knowledge
network goes to the very core of the
country’s quest for building quality
institutions with requisite research
facilities and creating a pool of highly
trained professionals.
• The three campuses of the National
Institute of Design one each at
Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and
Bengaluru are connected with the
National Knowledge Network, a state
of the art multi-gigabit pan-India
network.
network upgrade will benefit many of today’s IT priorities such as
server virtualisation and subsequent application consolidation and
media applications.
• The centre developed live webcast facilities; the 34th NID was webcasted live on NID’s website
• New web application for the registration of the Open Elective
course
The new web application is developed for the registration of the
Open Elective course which is faster, easy to access and consists
of all necessary information about the course which is offered
during the Open Elective.
The Research & Publications department at NID undertook various activities that focused 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 the potential and excellence
of NID for discussing railway-based scenarios and
utilisation 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 stalkeholders. The committee will appraise the
Railway Board on the same, and it is expected that
the approval for release of the corpus to NID will be
granted soon.
2. National Sizing Standards for India
NID has submitted a proposal to the Jamsetji Tata
Trust for restructuring the JTT Chair for Universal
Design at NID. The new proposal addresses at the
need of developing 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, R&D organisations have developed
certain human body dimensions/data sets out of
their relevant research works, such data are still
‘unorganised’and not statistically valid enough which
can be used by any specific industry in its totality,
absoluteness & completeness. A national seminar on
‘National Sizing Standards in India’ was held in August
2013 to initiate this activity.
3. Innovation Centre for Natural Fibres
NID has set up an Innovation Centre for Natural Fibre
(ICNF) with a focus on improvement in processing
techniques for natural fibres, capacity building in
natural fibres development and utilization through
innovation in design, engineering and technology.
The centre has prioritised 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 and
appropriate and 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. A national workshop is planned in June or July
this year.

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

draw experts as well as innovative ideas.
NID has set up an International Centre for Indian Crafts
(ICIC) with the primary aim to effectively understand
the needs, strengths, and weaknesses of the crafts
sector and apply NID’s interdisciplinary design
expertise and knowledge base for capacity building
and skill up gradation of artisans with a global-local
approach. The unique approach helps to develop a
national and international network for crafts design
research, training, and knowledge dissemination
for providing collaborative and sustainable linkages
to the Indian crafts sector. The key objective of the
centre is to impart training for craftspersons and to
undertake crafts-related projects by providing formal
contemporary design entrepreneurship and product
development orientation through strategic designtechnology-skill management programmes/workshops
at multiple levels. The goals ICIC is focusing on are:

At the end of a grueling and diligent jury process of 2
days, 53 product entries were chosen to be granted
the India Design Mark 2014.
In order to promote India Design Mark amongst
the users and applicants, the council organized two
exhibitions of India Design Mark granted products.
The first exhibition was organised at Delhi during the
13th CII-NID Design Summit during November 26 and
27, 2013. The latter exhibition was organized at Pune
during Constro during February 13-16, 2014.

Japan through Japan Institute of Design Promotion
i.e. JDP. This year we had Hideichi Misono and
Masahiro Inoue participate in the I Mark Assessment
as Jury members.
Design Seminar
In order to sensitize the applicants about Good Design,
the I Mark Assessment process and to inform the
applicants about the Jury observations of the entries,
we had arranged a 2-hour session about Good Design.
The session was meant to guide the applicants about
the importance of Good Design, what constitutes to
be Good Design, what is the need of Good Design and
such topics. The speakers discussed good virtues in
the applications, which would eventually receive the I
Mark and also discussed about design shortcomings in
the applications that did not receive the I Mark.
The India Design Council & the Design Council,
UK signed a MoU on November 27, 2013 at Delhi
during the 13th CII NID Design Summit.The MoU is a
significant step towards expansion and development
of cooperation between the two organisations and
is expected to contribute to enhance cooperation
between India and the United Kingdom in the domain
of design. The bilateral cooperation would build a firm
base for a bright future and could be a platform for
both the parties to leap onto the next level of design.
The MoU envisages mutual exchanges on design
policies and facilitate design promotion, enhancing
understanding of emerging trends, design domain
developments, sharing of design knowledge and
resources through focused activities and joining in
existing activities on either side.
Further to the MoU between the India Design Council,
and Design Council, UK, they had invited Pradyumna
Vyas and Hrridaysh Deshpande to visit London for
further deliberations during February 2014. However
the dates did not match and eventually the visit was
confirmed for March 11, 2014. Due to an official
engagement that could not have been avoided –
PradyumnaVyas could not go.
The Design Council, UK had diligently organized
several presentations during the day of March 11,
2014. The presentations were:
• Design Challenge Work - John Mathers and Mat Hunter

Infusing Design in Engineering Education
Engineering products and the processes by which they
are created are becoming increasingly complex. The
task of educating engineers for their future roles in
society is both daunting and exciting. Today, it is not
enough to provide our future engineering students
with technical skills. They must also learn how to
combine design and engineering, how to work in
interdisciplinary teams, how to iterate designs rapidly,
how to manufacture sustainably and how to address
global markets.
With a view to extend design knowledge and
education to students of engineering , the council
prepared a detailed paper titled “Infusing Design
in Engineering Education”. The paper was shared
with Anil Kakodkar who chairs the National Institute
of Technology Committee and is also an influential
person in the area of engineering excellence.
Through diligent discussions and exchange of
thoughts a formal proposal was submitted to Anil
Kakodkar which proposed building a “Design Spine”
within the engineering curriculum. The Design Spine
courses would be the major vehicle for developing
a set of competencies to meet educational goals
in areas such as creative thinking, problem solving,
teamwork, and Design.
The purpose of the proposed program is to enable
undergraduate engineering students to develop
design knowledge and skills that will prepare them to
be innovative and creators of new value.
The proposal was whole-heartedly accepted by
Anil Kakodkar.He assured the council to take it up
at the National Institutes of Technology for further
discussions and implementation.
A special invitation was extended to PradyumnaVyas
and HrridayshDeshpande by Japan Institute of Design
Promotion (JDP) to join the special screening Jury
Panel of G Mark 2013 during the period November 04
and 05, 2013. The travel to Japan and stay in Japan
was funded by the JDP.
Delegation to Japan to study the Good Design
Award system
On the invitation from Japan Institute of Design
Promotion, a delegation of 12 people had gone to
Japan on behalf of India Design Council to study the
Good Design Award System during November 19 and
23, 2012. The training program was organized and
fully funded by The Overseas Human Resources and
Industry Development Association (HIDA) on behalf of
the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI),
Japan.
MoU Between India Design Council & Japan
Institute of Design Promotion
The MoU between Japan Institute of Design
Promotion & India Design Council for cooperation
and sharing of inputs concerning design promotion
and good design selection system, etc. was renewed
signed on November 22 at the G Mark Jury venue.
New Initiatives
Designing Design Education for India
Conference
The Designing Design Education for India conference
was hosted by India Design Council during March 13 –
15, 2013 at Pune.
The conference had about 150 participants from
the academia and the industry. A total of 41 papers
were presented by scholars within India and abroad.
Countries like UK, USA, Canada, UAE, Israel, France
were represented through their scholars.
The establishment of 4 new National Institutes of
Design and the proliferation of a large number of
Design institutions in India necessitated creating a
guiding (not binding) framework that represents a
common rationale / philosophy for design curricula
and its implementation. The aim was to harmonize the
different education systems whilst taking into account
their great diversity. The Designing Design Education
for India Conference has initiated a dialogue towards
the direction for involving all stakeholders in a
democratic fashion.
The India Design Council plans to make the conference
an annual event, thus paving way for a meaningful
dialogue concerning different issues pertaining to
design education.
Several new initiatives have been planned by the
council during the year 2012-13 which would be
implemented by it in the year 2013-14. Some of the
key initiatives are:
• To create a showcase of contemporary India Design
•
To publish a compendium of best of Product Design in India for the last 25 years
•
To publish a handbook on “How Government can use Design for better Governance”

TOY and game DESIGN
Toy design perspectives
• Immense scope for graduates to enter into
this field as entrepreneurs as quality is gaining
appreciation as well as the play value of the
product.
• Opportunities for exposure and visibility of
the discipline is explored through attending/
participating in various forums and exhibitions in
India of national and international repute.
Some impressions from Toy sector
• China no more the cheapest destination for
production for toys, yet India should not take the
bandwagon for the cheapest producer as it is not
going to be of any consequence in long run, unless
it is used as a stepping stone to create our own
concepts and directions which could find a wider
market in the world.
• Discipline representation in the following expo’s
in the previous semesters were very encouraging
for communication about NID-TGD and giving an
awareness about students work.
• International Toy Biz in Delhi from 20st to 22rd July
gave an opportunity for the discipline to connect
with the toy business initiatives in Delhi area.
The students could make use of this opportunity
to have a firsthand idea about the nature of Toy
industries, quality of produces, requirements
from the industry, possibility areas for internship
or diploma projects. Some of the alumnus
also attended the project and could use this
opportunity to network and scout for projects with
industries This also has helped to re engage with
the Delhi and northern part of Toy cluster in India
and inform them about the need to get involved
with institutions in evolving a design consciousness
in the incoming times. The need to look at, and
focus on, quality and derive value out of playfulness
and quality than just become a cheap manufacturer
was emphasized.
• Couple of companies has shown interest to engage
with student projects as a starting point, which
needs to be explored further.

AUDITORS’ REPORT
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DESIGN (“the
Institute”) which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014, and the Income and Expenditure
Account for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the financial position and financial performance of the Institute in accordance with the applicable
Accounting Standards. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair
view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
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 but not for the purpose of expressing and opinion on the effectiveness of the Society’s
internal control. 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 at March 31, 2014; and
(b) in the case of the Income and Expenditure Account, of the deficit for the year ended on that date.
