I have seen Twitter bootstrap and Yahoo purecss but I don't understand why they are becoming industry standards. People tend to directly use them for their project without thinking of something unique for their project. I would like to understand why using these framework can enhance your designs.

They're not used for the sake of design, but rather for fast implementation. Bootstrap allows developers to quickly prototype in HTML+CSS. Most projects will require at least some kind of grid system and CSS resets, so bootstrap and purecss fill that gap.

So, does that mean that these frameworks are not for designers but rather for developers?– AnkitAug 4, 2013 at 2:11

@AnkitSharma - ish. It's more for designers and developers to quickly prototype with functionality that can't easily be mocked with Axure and the like. Aug 4, 2013 at 21:05
We use frameworks because modularity is great. Frameworks lets us focus on solving unique tasks, not on reinventing the wheel.
There is no reason why a developer should have to retype the same lines of code over and over. This costs time/money, it is boring, and it is hard to maintain.
