Department of Design under Design Innovation Centre is proud to organize a Design awareness programme, Abhilasha with the school children of Northeast India in focus. The objective of the event is to nurture and foster the young minds into the field of design at an early age. We believe there is a wealth of design talent and creativity amongst the school children which unfortunately is untapped or explored.

There is indeed a pool of creative abilities that exists amidst the school children of Northeast. However, these latent talents do not transform or aspire into an educational endeavor or professional development. This is due to the lack of awareness about various creative fields (other than engineering or medical science) such as design in pursuit of their educational career. This event is organized to address such issues and expose students to subject of design.

We hope you will make use of the opportunity to unearth your creative potential and be a part of an imaginative world. We look forward to your participation.
