At present: 20 design institutes + over 100 commercial art colleges in India + over 10,000 skill based institutes.- expected to grow exponentially Need to expose the non-formal sector about innovation, human factors, quality and aesthetics through understanding of design.

Visual medium is suited to explain, understand and learn aspects of design.

Rationale:D
