6 Case Study: Bengaluru

• Published: January 2016
• Cite Icon Cite
• Permissions Icon Permissions

The case study considers Bengaluru (previously known as Bangalore), highlighting prospects for sharing in rapidly growing cities of the developing world. It explores some of the opportunities for Bengaluru as a laboratory to explore alternative and shared solutions for waste, transport and environmental management. It particularly focuses on the downsides of too enthusiastic a pursuit of ‘smartness’ at the cost of sharing and justice; contrasting the imposed planning of cities such as Masdar and Songdu with the potential of emergent ‘self-organised’ solutions.

If for any reason, the hostel facility is not convenient for the students, they can make their arrangements. 

The priority for the hostel is for the outstation students. The students who choose to stay at the hostel must follow the rules and regulations. The warden in each hostel looks after the safety of the hostel. The hostel provides a safe atmosphere for the students. 

Health Care  

The health and safety of the students are a priority of the administration at NIDs. Each campus has a dispensary for the health and safety of the people on the campus. A doctor is available for the given time frame but there is no hospitalisation facility on the campus. Mediclaim is compulsory during the admission of a student and all the payments of the dispensary are to be borne by the students.

The menu is based on the preference of the majority of students. The students have to pay for the mess in advance at the beginning of the semester. The food is scrumptious and the importance of nutrients and a healthy diet are kept in mind. 

Extra-curricular Activities

The NIDs promote a healthy learning environment but also concentrate on extracurricular activities. The students’ activity committee – SAC (non-political and non-administrative body) is a social-cultural organization to promote student-friendly services of sports and any other interests. The students contribute some funds and hence the expenses are met. This committee also deals with other committees to plan various social and cultural events for the students and maintain and stimulate the environment. Each campus has facilities for indoor and outdoor games.

NIDs celebrate culture, race, a festival with enthusiasm as it caters to the crowd from all over the nation. The students learn compassion and sensitivity towards other’s beliefs. Each NID has a grand Monsoon Fiesta which is an amalgamation of sports, arts, and creative events. Each NID has a grand celebration for the renowned festival of the state — Navratri in Ahmedabad — but they also celebrate other festivals with enthusiasm. They also have an active film club, music room for music and film lovers. 

Study Environment And Student Life | National Institute of Design

The student life on the campus is always pleasurable. As the campus has students from all over the world, the days are refreshing and students get to interact, learn, and keep themselves inspired from the crowd encircling them. It is the first year when you have trouble fitting in however the interesting subjects and people help you through it. Students get to explore a lot of things in the first year like drawing, paint, woodcarving, craft, films, culture, and much more. The second year is when students choose their specialized field. 

The students provoke each other to do better and ignite their curious minds. The seniors are accommodating and would get to know you. NID encourages you to become inquisitive, have a thirst for wonder and discovery, and fuel the thought process without you even knowing it. The stories of other students and their experiences encourage others to be better people. The difference in culture makes you aware of art, life and the hardships students have faced. 

By the time students graduate from here not only are they highly creative and compassionate but they also learn to respect mankind which is what we all can hope for. Students are ready to take on challenges that help not only in academic development but also prepare them for the real world. 

As far as the work environment goes, students strive for perfection and often achieve it. Professors are often around to help and try their level best. The seniors help students when needed and the campus is like a huge family where everyone has got your back when needed. The campus has beautiful spaces to study — the lush green lawn, the delightful classroom, the canteen, the library. The library is filled with interesting books, movies, and magazines for students to devour. Students find knowledge and inspiration in every nook and that is what education at NID is all about

Counselling | National Institute of Design

It is seen from time to time that students struggle with mental health issues, disorders, or unhealthy addictions in the pressure of studies, peer pressure, or some unknown issues. The least an institute can do is help in every way possible so that the issues don’t get more acute. These institutes offer professional counselling for students and the needy. The counsellors are available when needed, however, a prior appointment is advisable. 

In conclusion, students from NID develop a strong sense of design and creativity. The education here encourages you to learn more with the welcoming environment and helpful faculty as well as students. Students often describe their time here as a beautiful memory close to their hearts. NID welcomes the students with a warm heart and teaches them to strive for betterment.
