Universal Design discipline at NID, addresses design for a sustainable future, where products and systems respond to the challenges of a large and complex set of users with diverse abilities, needs, aspirations and notions of well-being.
The discipline aims to create design influencers who will bridge the gap between thought and product and between the privileged and under-privileged. The programme bases itself on human-centric, universal design thinking, leading to easily adaptable and viable design
directions for wide and varied user-groups.
With universal design thinking being an intrinsic part of product definition, design, process and development, the programme aims at preparing students to be design professionals with competence in system-level design development of products and services which are adaptive to the needs of a variety of users – across a wide range of cultural and social factors as well as trans-generational, physical and cognitive abilities.

The identity of this book edited by the late I.S. Mathur is established by its leitmotif—training the teachers of design or educating the design educators. This book is divided into three major sections—‘Retrospection’, ‘Introspection’, and ‘Perception’. A mélange of thoughts, experiences, and anecdotes expressed by alumni, faculty both former and present, and artists—this book touches upon poignant issues which can influence the spread of design education across design schools/institutions in India.
