NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DESIGN (NID) OVERVIEW
The National Institute of Design (NID)
was established as a result of various global and local influences during the late 1950s. This period was crucial for Indian culture and education as the newly independent nation grappled with nation-building, reconciling traditional values with modern ideas and technology. It was marked by a convergence of factors such as the Modern Movement, Machine Aesthetics, and innovative experimentation in arts, architecture, and design. The quest for an authentic Indian identity permeated all facets of life.In 1955, Pupul Jayaker, a notable authority on Indian craft traditions and founder of the Indian Handlooms and Handicrafts Export Council (HHEC), met American designer Charles Eames at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This meeting initiated a lasting exchange between the two.
Concurrently, the Indian government contemplated establishing a design institute, spurred by the insights of figures like Pupul Jayaker. Given India’s rapid industrialization in the 1950s, the need for such an institution became evident. In 1957, the government enlisted the Ford Foundation to invite Charles and Ray Eames to India. The Eameses embarked on a comprehensive journey across the country, engaging with a diverse array of individuals, from writers and artisans to architects and philosophers. Their travels yielded numerous photographs.
On April 7, 1958, the Eameses presented the India Report to the Indian government, which laid the groundwork for NID’s establishment and design education in India. The report advocated for design as a means of problem-solving, bridging tradition and modernity. It encouraged designers to rethink growth possibilities for the nation.
Acting upon the recommendations in the India Report, the Indian government, in collaboration with the Ford Foundation and the Sarabhai family, founded the National Institute of Industrial Design in September 1961 in Ahmedabad. Gautam Sarabhai and his sister Gira played significant roles in its establishment, introducing an innovative curriculum aligned with the philosophy of the Bauhaus design movement, emphasizing experiential learning.
Today, NID is renowned globally for its excellence in Industrial, Communication, Textile, and IT Integrated (Experiential) Design education and research. Operating autonomously under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, NID was granted ‘Institution of National Importance’ status through the National Institute of Design Act 2014. Additionally, it holds recognition as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Government of India.
