Having a minister of design in the parliament is an interesting idea, though convincing the government to introduce such a post would be quite a task. Maybe a step towards this could be via the formation of an association of design professionals in India akin to the AIGA in America. Having such an organisation would give designers from across the country a common platform to share ideas and connect with each other.

Reading what Nishita has to say to your questions, I'm forced to think about the influences a designer has in ones life and practice. The need for design to participate in creating better systems can't be greater anywhere else than our own country. With Indian cities housing more people that most european countries have in whole, we have a huge spectrum of problems to solve. I wish we have a minister of design at the parliment, representing and creating opportunities for design thinking to demonstrate value. This brings us straight to The India Report (<a href="http://homepage.mac.com/ranjanmp/.Public/Eames_IndiaReport.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://homepage.mac.com/ranjanmp/.Public/Eames_IndiaReport.pdf</a>) that Charles and Ray Eames presented as early as 1958 ( 5 decades ago!! and the outcome was NID ) and the kind of impact they were hoping design would have on the nation. This is exactly the kind of impact that nishita is talking about when she talks about those thoughtfully designed rumbler dividers at the Yosemite National park. Why do we designers remain disconnected so? Perhaps a longer and deeper thought needs to be placed on this larger, more impactful role for Design in India. Dear Paras,
