= INTRODUCING DESIGN THINKING TO INDIAN STUDENTS AND BENEFITS~~~~ =The present scenario of education in India is mainly focused on ~~rotten~~ rote learning and thus scoring high marks. We find a scarcity of multidisciplinary career options to opt for. Till today paper assignments are given to students for evaluating their academic performance in schools.The students here are facing problems to enhance their creativity and find success in the fields chosen out of their interest due to lack of a constructive approach towards it. We have lot more things to change.For of this “Design Thinking” can kick start the process of change.Because Design thinking in the context of a country like India can play a very significant role in finding appropriate solutions to its problems. Design by its own nature is creative, collaborative and is inclusive of many other fields.  The methodology of how design is learned by hands on experience can make a difference to the process of learning.Design can help students develop values, attitudes, sensorial skills and critical thinking and make the students realize their creative and innovative potentials.  Design thinking can make a big difference to the expected growth of creative needs in India.

==  BUT HOW? ==

The first step would be making the students to think of what challenges they are surrounded with and pick one to solve, may be small (or) big.Which could be kickstarted with making effective communication with the people regarding the challenge and knowing their needs.This process involves knowledge gathering, analysis, discovery, and conceptualization.Their ideas should be based on the picture for the future. Students can pave the way for thinking by surrounding themselves in places that are conducive to thinking and learning and things that inspire them.After this intensive thought process and collection of information, they should get to know the visual impact of the ideas through viewing it practically and pen down what’s in mind. Then all the interpreted data should be brainstormed resulting in a creative solution for the challenge chosen.After having a perfect solution in hand students must design a prototype for it so that they rectify further any complications with ease by getting feedback, because working on a prototype proves very cost effective, before jumping into the end product. Before all, Students must be prepared to face the failure actually they should enjoy their failures. Because it hones their creativity and the end results of facing the failure would be very beneficial to them. <div> </div>
