Design education has increased in India since the change of new millennium.
Previously, the Institute holding Main Betting was the National Institute of Design [NID] and the National Institute of Fashion Technology [NIFT].
Perhaps because of changes in Indian economic policies and industrial encouragement and globalization encourage development in the design sector.
While the development of the OTT platform has provided encouragement to the fields of film and video, globalization and outsourcing talent giving encouragement for animated industries in India.
However, industrial-based design education in India seems to have lost contact with traditional craft-based industries in India not like it in case of Japan, China and other Southeast Asian countries.
The role model for design education in India somehow limits itself to Western industrial design.
Criticism can argue that modern design as a concept comes from the West.
Indeed, the difference between art and industry design does appear in the Post-Industrial Revolution of Europe.
Someone should not forget that the same industrial revolution has brought nemimis from the traditional Orient design.
The Indian handicraft sector is clearly a victim of this modern design attack in the field of textiles, ceramics and the skin industry.
Some crafts can be labeled as obsolete in contemporary times such as skin dolls which are the only Vista for entertainment in the pre-film era where light, shape, music and narrative play a key role.
If someone sees retrospect, industrial design courses in India are on the direction of Western and less or less enhanced ethos and aesthetics of India.
There is no effort to redefine traditional designs that can soak into the root of the tradition of crafts.
The vision aimed at the arrangement of the Gaekwad Institute of Design Ranjitsinh pedagogical scheme is this.
For example, films and animations [referred to as moving images in Mrid] students will not only be seen in the Western animated style but also study traditional shadow dolls and various visual narrative techniques that are experimenting and continued in the traditional way.
Naturally the question arises on why we must survive with the inheritance while the world moves towards modernity.
The answer to this is that post-modernist design methods do combining tradition, different from the negation of tradition proposed by modernism.
Examples of Japan, China and other Southeast Asian countries can be quoted as an example.
Maharaja Ranjitsinh Gaekwad Institute of Design [Mrid] does have several courses that emphasize traditional design studies such as crafts and designs where students are urged to look at the Indian craft sector and have an impact on millions of craft people through design innovation.
Considering India is the biggest textile exporter in pre-colonial days and the state of weavers and Indian textile printers such as design and entrepreneurial intervention seems to be the way forward.
Another area that looks less in the field of design education is a connection to visual art and special aesthetics.
The taste of people is conditioned by the social environment they live in.
Changes in sudden taste and style cannot be expected; However, pedagogical approaches can cause constructive changes in the future.
Safe! You have managed to throw your votelogin to see the results of the Maharaja Ranjitsinh Gaekwad Institute of Design experimenting with this vision in 2019 when the Institute academically adopted a craft village in Kutch called Nirohna.
Students of all specialties [accessory design, communication design, moving images, crafts and designs, ceramic and glass designs] do visit the village of Nirohna and work with craftsmen, making films on their crafts, designing their names, designing their business, designing their business, designing their business, designing their business, designing their business cards and village map planning defining workshops and craftsmen shops.
As one of the craftsmen from Nirohna stated, “It was for the first time a group of young designers decided to restore something to us rather than just getting information and acquiring our skills”.
Mrid named Maharaja Esptama of Baroda, Shrimant Ranjitsinh Gaekwad only emphasized the vision of Maharaja Ijirao Gaekwad who was with TK Gajjar who imagined the additional role for Bhavan [now the Faculty of Technology, Baroda University] Maharaja Mejirao], “It serves a weaker cause of craftsmen and parts .
