October 20th, 2008
Following is an excerpt from the news group http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/designindia/.
Dear Friends,
We are happy to inform you that we are in process of setting up NID Campus in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh from next academic year 2009-2010 wherein we plan to start Under Graduate Programmes.
We are looking for Design Educators and Design Managers who are interested in joining hands with NID in this endeavour of institution building, as envisaged in the National Design Policy announced by the Government of India in February
20082007. If this interests you, we would be happy to arrange a meeting with you at NID Heritage Campus, Ahmedabad, R & D Campus, Bangalore or NID – Delhi Centre.Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes,

In Feb 08 200, the Union Cabinet approved the establishment of four new National Institutes of Design. See http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=24647. As per the news items cited in https://www.orissalinks.com/archives/305 one of them was to be in Orissa. I wonder what happened to that.
As per https://www.orissalinks.com/archives/1241, the Orissa government recently (end of July 2008) recommunicated to Delhi about its interest to set up an NID in Orissa.

It is both a matter of joy and heartbreak that after repeated news, rumors and confirmations the dream of a NID at Orissa is still much away. the establishment of NID at bhoplal was given priority obviously due to industry minister’s state but i am confident and sure that we will make it sooner or later.
but at this moment i just want to bring some general observation about design education. NID for almost being there for 50 years, worked on in almost every field of design and more importantly currently working for quite a number of projects in orissa. shouldn’t be we wishing for a NID in a more whole hearted way? more importantly i believe there needs a greater understanding and appreciation of a design as an discipline. there being so many established institutions(govt universities, KIITS, etc) and lot more in pipe line (sri sri univ, vedanta etc) yet none of them opening a design school(correct me if am wrong) ??
i am looking to hear from the stake holders and people who can make a change, about when will the design movement will start in my State?

Asutosh made a very valid comment on a very serious chapter of design education specially needed to be considered for eastern india.There is certainly an awareness of design in india but yet to be priortised in the list of next to do things of the politicians,beaurocrats and the policy makers.orissa being a lead runner in the field of education should be considered for possible NID campus .However the learning and the education matters as long as it is taken to heights in any part of india and thereafter world.
Would extreamly happy and grateful to contribute towards this great endaevour.
