Hi this is vasu,To begin with being an Indian I have to admit that people are really habituated to rote learning in maximum cases.I personally think the process of design which Includes five steps would really bring a noticeable change in country like India.Firstly,students should have an idea on what resources do they have and they have to figure out what exactly they need.This can be achieved when people really start discussion and notice others perspective(EMPATHY).Secondly,From all the input data they have to think over it and try to bring meaningful insights of that(Interpret).Next students have to generate the ideas for that meaningful insights(Ideation).Students after generating ideas could probably bring them into real world and before jumping into final conclusion so early they can build a prototype which acts as a preview of the end product.(Prototyping).Finally students can make little discussions on the preview so that further modifications can be achieved at an ease before release of the end-product.

In India all were habituated to take the regular courses rather than taking the new and different path. For all these routine paths design thinking will be the kick start for the Indian education system. The growth of creativity will be expected needed in India. One should visualize impact ideas and pen down the ideas in mind. Design thinking in India can play a very significant role in finding appropriate solutions to its problems. While taking design thinking one should be ready to face failures as every creativity will not get succeeded for the first attempt because the end results of facing the failure would be very beneficial to them. -Snigdha Akkinapally VNR VJIET, India.

Anirudh's comment:

As it's said in the resource everyone in India are habituated to rote learning. Implementation of Design thinking may change their way of thinking and help them to work more on their problem which helps them to brainstorm and find more efficient ways which enables them to act similarly in every situation and brings the ideal person out from them. By the help of Design Thinking a person get's accustomed to the real world, real problems, and his real self by letting him out from the dark side of the education which shows that grades and bookish knowledge matters the most rather than practical experience and hands-on learning which evokes the person completely and lets him be his true self!
