Maharashtra, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/25/2014 -- MAEER's MIT Institute of Design, a renowned fashion designing institute in India delivers the concept of design habitat, which is in fact a logical and organic extension of their stated philosophy that ensures a total generalist ambience to enable design learning. They invite mentors from various design related disciplines to interact with the design learners and also challenge young minds to explore new in order to strengthen their ongoing design learning.

Also, the mentors are selected from the following disciplines such as, biomechanics, alternative energy systems, linguistics (semiotics), performing arts, plastic arts, design anthropology, and many others. With the top most fashion design courses in India, the mentors ensure that their interaction will ultimately lead to an inclusive and sustained learning which directly or indirectly related to designing.

Discussing more about innovative concepts of learning, a spokesperson from the MAEER's MIT Institute of Design further elaborates, "Distributing the course contents in the form of projects is an obvious and time tested method. Each project would be formulated so as to necessitate the participation of a mentor and one or two young aspirants pursuing the same discipline as the participating mentors. The team thus formed would be led by a member of the permanent faculty of the Institute. Sometimes the project might be so designed as to the participation of mentors from more than one discipline if needed."

Additionally, their main focus would be on humane and logical application of Twenty First Century technologies, arts and sciences in order to solve the problems of human habitat in India.

Pune, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/29/2013 -- The services of city's dabbawalas recently went up a notch after two students of design came up with a novel concept of a jacket for carrying tiffins. Currently studying at Pune's MIT Institute of Design, Mumbai girl Nikita Chonkar (22) and her batchmate Bhargavi Joglekar (21) wanted to ease the burden of dabbawalas and increase their efficiency.

Earlier, dabbawalas either mounted a seven-ft-long crate/basket full of tiffins on their heads or used a kavli (a nylon loop to carry the tiffins), which hung on their shoulder.

"Both techniques were inefficient. With the basket, the total weight came up to 60-65 kg and kavli weighed 35-40 kg. We noticed that the weight was not distributed evenly. Also, the basket weighed seven kg and the dabbawalas complained of hair loss and body pain," said Chonkar.

She and Joglekar assessed how dabbawalas carried tiffins and designed a product for them as part of their assignment.

Chonkar and Joglekar kept in mind the mandatory aspects, including weight, ease in handling and proper weight distribution. "We changed our design four times before finalising one. We went through a validation process of one month, during which dabbawalas tried our jackets," Joglekar said.

She added that unlike the previous techniques, this equipment ensures less back pain.

"The jacket has four detachable hooks in the front and four at the back for hanging tiffins. We provided adjustable waist and chest belts for perfect fit," said Chonkar. The jackets weigh 1.5 kg and can carry 30-35 tiffins. Each dabbawala is supposed to deliver 35 tiffins every day.

"The basket that I carried on my head often hurt pedestrians and I had difficulty boarding trains," said Rajesh Talekar (35), a dabbawala. "Now, I have no back pain. As the weight is distributed on both my shoulders, the tiffins are easy to carry," he said.
