With the opening up of Indian economy, our manufacturing sector has to compete globally even for the domestic market. This requires strong products with leading technology/quality and compelling cost advantage. Suitably trained manpower is critical to achieve this goal. Large pool of highly trained manpower has provided India leadership position in knowledge-based industries. Efforts are now required to translate this leadership in building indigenous manufacturing capabilities. Whereas, China is already a leader in low-tech bulk manufacturing, India could emerge as leader in brain-intensive manufacturing. This would require skill sets appropriate for design, development and prototyping that too - using modern tools and techniques.
The present system of technical education – though huge and diverse has focus on analytical capabilities. There is need for skill sets appropriate for design, development and prototyping, that too - using modern tools and techniques. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) approach to entire cycle from R & D, manufacturing, quality assurance, distribution, maintenance and disposal of new products is gaining currency. In other words, there is a need for a design and manufacturing programme that is holistic in nature. It should include all aspects such as mechanical, electronics/electrical as well as software engineering. In due course of time, disciplines such as Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering could also be integrated with such an approach.
The need for developing a new academic programme exists therefore to integrate the knowledge of a given discipline with design, prototyping as well as manufacturing considerations. This approach should also give emphasis on aesthetics, ergonomics and functional considerations of products. The academic programme should also have the ability to respond to industry driven adaptive management structure. The presence of an Institute having its academic programme fulfilling the above societal needs would provide sustainable competitive advantage to Indian industry in the area of design and manufacturing of new products in the increasingly globalized economic environment. Keeping the above in view, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Department of Education felt the need to set up a national institute devoted exclusively for Information Technology (IT), Design & Manufacturing (D & M). It was envisaged that such an academic institute would promote excellence in the desired areas of specialization and would facilitate and promote the competitive advantage of Indian products and manufacturing in global markets. Further, the new Institute would serve as an inter-disciplinary institution for education and research in the area of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) encompassing design and manufacturing using state of the art concepts, tools, processes and practices of the industry world over. Strong industry interface and close cooperation with other academic and research institutions shall be the key features of this Institute.
