The National Institute of Design (NID) was conceived to train and create design professionals, undertake research and publication activities and promote design awareness. But has the premier design institute fulfilled the goals it set out to achieve?
So far, there was no evaluation system to check the institute’s performance but, starting this academic year, the NID has formed a results-framework document (RFD) to assess its own performance across various parameters at the end of the academic year.
As per the document, which has been uploaded online, it has two purposes __ moving the focus of the organisation from process orientation to results orientation and also to provide an objective and fair basis to evaluate the organisation’s overall performance.
The NID’s evaluation system is in keeping with the prime minister’s recent approval to an outline ofPerformance Monitoring and Evaluation System (PMES) for government departments. Under PMES, each department is required to prepare a Results-Framework
Document (RFD). A RFD provides a summary of the most important results that an organisation expects to achieve during the financial year.
Institute director Pradyumna Vyas said the document would help to focus on priority areas.
Some of the important aspects included in the RFD are providing graduate diploma programme in design (GDPD) education, provide sector-specific post graduate diploma programme in design, offer sustainable design intervention and consultancy to industry, MSME and the crafts sector.
Different criterion have been allotted weightage in terms of percentage. As per the RFD, a score of 100 is excellent, while 98 is very good, 95 good, 90 fair and 85 poor.
As per the online document available, it seeks to address three issues - main objectives of the organisation for the year, actions proposed to achieve these objectives and measures to know progress made in implementing these actions.
