Hon’ble Prime Minister of India has given a clarion call for “Design in India, Design for the World.” In alignment with this visionary call and to translate the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of making Bharat Atmanirbhar in the field of design, the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad, under the leadership of Dr. Ashok Mondal, Director, has initiated several strategic collaborations with government ministries and institutions for promoting design-led research and innovation.
As a part of these initiatives, NID Ahmedabad has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with the National Forensic Sciences University, the Ministry of Minority Affairs under the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Kaushal Samman (PM Vikas) Scheme, and the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises under the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Scheme.
Most recently, on 6th November 2025, NID Ahmedabad signed an MoU with the Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library (PMML), New Delhi, to extend its design expertise for various design interventions at the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya. The collaboration encompasses the design of exhibits and exhibition galleries, promotional materials and collaterals, public facilities and utilities, ticket counters, signage systems, and overall branding of the Sangrahalaya.
The Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya stands as a tribute to every Prime Minister of India since Independence. It presents a narrative record of how each leader has contributed to nation-building and the strengthening of democracy over the past 75 years. The Museum is a testament to India’s collective journey—from the hardships of colonial rule to becoming a self-reliant nation marked by social harmony, economic empowerment, and infrastructural progress.
Through this collaboration, NID Ahmedabad seeks to contribute its design acumen towards enriching the visitor experience at the Sangrahalaya, thereby strengthening India’s design footprint in projects of national significance.
