textiles originate from 12 ethnic groups living in 122
towns, whose identity was recreated in the symbolism
of their designs. Each region had its own traditional
dress, which shows their ancient heritage in colourful
patterns. Most of these textiles were woven on back
strap looms and their fabrics are made of plant
fibres or natural wool, dyed with vegetable colours or
extracted minerals.

reminiscent of embroidery traditions of India such as
the Phulkari work of Punjab, the Kutchi embroidery of

Chitrakatha 2017 – International Student Animation

Festival
‘Chitrakatha’, the biannual animation film festival
which started in 2007 provides a platform to build
a slow and steady awareness of animation and
design education across nations, amongst students,
academia, stakeholders, and policymakers.
The 6th edition of Chitrakatha was called ‘COWfest -
Africa-Asia’ and was organized from October 22–28,
2017 at the NID Ahmedabad Campus. The festival
renewed interest in pre-historic ancestors who
came from the Congo Basin and Gondwanaland.
Chitrakatha’17 aimed to build the map of the Triassic
era in the participants’ minds, especially in this age
of strange conflicts and hatred, boundaries, and
divisions. This festival remains a confluence of
thought provoking activities initiated by creative minds
from the field of animation and storytelling with India
and the sub-continent as its main focus/spotlight. The
6th edition of Chitrakatha focused on themes such
as: world peace, human rights, non-violence, love,

Marketing Federation (GCMMF) had taken up an
initiative to promote jute takeaway bags. GCMMF gave
the project to ICNF, NID. A variety of such bags were
designed by a student of National Institute of Design
(NID) as a part of her graduation project under ICNF.
These bags would be available in markets across
various cities beginning with Ahmedabad. Jute has
thermal insulation properties and this quality would
be the biggest advantage for GCMMF’s products to
preserve them in chilled condition in the jute bags.
The idea behind the project by GCMMF was to replace

the polluted plastic from the distribution vertical and

themselves with the classical and contemporary
socio-cultural-economic paradigms of design. The
course enables students to explore new domains of

• Since the NID Gandhinagar Campus offers

postgraduate courses in seven different disciplines
of design, the approach of SLA here is more
exploratory and research-oriented, preparing the
students to learn self-initiated searches and enquiry.
Teaching method involves epistemological and
empirical discussions on various theories whether

followed by endeavours to apply them in a practical
situation.
• During the period under review four courses under

SLA were offered at the Gandhinagar Campus. The

and Approaches to Indian Society are fixed courses
offered every year while the next two courses (SLA

An improvised alternate climbing arrangement suitable

Based on field studies, researchers found that users

find it difficult and uncomfortable to use the existing
