Realising the increasing importance of design in economic, industrial and societal development and in improving quality of products and services, the Government of India has initiated a consultative process with industry, designers and other stakeholders to develop the broad contours of a National Design Policy. The vision behind initiating a 'National Design Policy' is to have a design enabled Indian industry which could impact both the national economy and the quality of life in a positive manner. In pursuance of the National Design Policy announced by the Government of India on 8th January, 2007, the Central Government has constituted the India Design Council on 2nd March 2009.
The India Design Council will act as the national strategic body for multi-disciplinary design and be involved in promotion of design to ultimately make Indian Industry a design enabled industry.
