The role of design institutions is to create, offer and continue processes to study design systematically in various forms. Besides disseminating knowledge of design on professional perspectives, design institutions uphold the practice of bringing innovation and evolution in design.

Courses conducted in design institutes are generally trade-specific. However, the fundamental motto is the same for all – to offer an environment to study design as a social and economical tool. The implication of design in any form is deep and broad and good design institutes offer the facility to practice and inculcate great design-techniques that redefine a product, concept or a message.
