Financing Innovation: India Inclusive Innovation Fund NInC wishes to establish a Rs 5000 cr (US $1 Billion) autonomous Innovation Fund

to back Bottom-of-the-Pyramid innovation in phases Government seeded (20%), privately invested (80%) Will invest in innovative, low-cost products and services to the poor: education,

health, agriculture, water and sanitation, energy Product innovation, business model innovation, service innovation Professionally managed as a for profit entity, combining social returns with (lower-

than-usual) financial returns Mentoring/Skill development to build entrepreneurial capacity The Hon’ble Finance Minister announced an initial contribution of Rs. 100 crore (US

$20 million) as seed money for the fund on 15th November 2011. Contributions are expected from DFID UK, Public Sector Banks, PSUs and private

sector First close of the Fund to be announced in July –August 2013


Improving Jobs, Productivity and Competitiveness: Industry Innovation Clusters

Driving the innovation agenda nationally would require strengthening regional capacity for innovation

It is proposed to identify 100 Industry Innovation Clusters across the country to develop and support innovation in 2013

These will enable interconnections between intellectual, financial, human and creative capital as well as unleash latent potential by galvanising innovation around Cluster Innovation Centres

An initial pilot in 7 identified industry clusters and 2 University clusters is currently underway


Innovation Clusters: The Vision

• Connected Ecosystem

• Nexus for Collaborations, R&D, Networking, Sharing

• Expand Role of Industry Associations

• Not Govt-driven just a kick-starter and facilitator

• Self-sustaining responsibility


Innovation Clusters: The Execution Model

Nurturing Innovation through Education Promoting innovation in schools and colleges by intervening in curriculum, talent-

spotting of innovators among students and award of Innovation Fellowships Setting up an Innovation Centre in each DIET (District Institute of Education and

Training) Mapping of Local History, Ecology and Cultural Heritage by each High School in the

country to create critical thinking Creation of a Meta University, as a global first, that rides on the National

Knowledge Network to promote multi-disciplinary learning, Setting up twenty Design Innovation Centres co-located in Institutes of National

Importance Facilitating the creation of innovation ecosystems at Universities through

University Innovation Clusters Ministry of Human Resource Development has green-lighted the three proposals of

awarding Innovation fellowships; mapping of local history, ecology by high schools and creation of a Meta University


National Innovation Scholarships

Initiative to institutionalise innovative thinking in youth. Scholarships for 1000 exceptionally innovative students across India,

every year. Awardees will be from Classes VIII to XII (or similar age group, for

children not attending regular schools, or out of school). Rs 25,000 per year, for each awardee student, for each year from

Classes VIII to Classes XII. Scholarship will encourage problem-solving and innovative thinking.

Annual ‘innovation camps’ to groom, mentor, and network young innovators.

Operationalised by National Innovation Foundation. Modalities being developed by joint committee of National Innovation Council, Ministry of Human Resource Development; for launch of first batch in 2013.


Design Innovation Centres

The National Innovation Council has been developing a proposal under the aegis of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) for setting up a network of Design Innovation Centres as new models of design education, co-located in Institutes of National Importance

Co-location in campuses of national repute like IITs/NITs will help leverage academic and industry resources and give a boost to design capacity in the country.


Design Innovation Centres: Key Features

DICs will be specialised design research institutions DICs should be co-located in existing educational and research

institutions that do not currently have a design programme, thereby infusing the principles of design thinking into academic institutions.

The underlying mandate of each DIC would be to scout for innovation opportunities in both economic and social domains, and to determine priorities for action in a structured but open process

DICs may chose to have a regional focus (local crafts/local industry/ environmental needs/skill development needs, etc.), and/or could focus on the host institution’s core function.


Design Innovation Centres: Key Features

DICs will be free to network and partner with other institutions, and will not be limited in any way by their being co-located with the host institution.

In addition to sharing faculty with host institutions, their own permanent staff, DICs will have rotating faculty comprising of working professionals from varied educational and professional backgrounds, as well as international faculty through extensive ties with leading design institutions across the world.

DICs will promote collaborative learning between students of the DIC and of the host institution.


Design Innovation Centres: Status

In the 12th Five Year Plan the Ministry of HRD has approved 5 host institutions for the first five Design Innovation Centres to be set up in the financial year 2012-2013

These include: IIT- Bombay, IIT-Delhi, IIT-Guwahati, IISC-Bangalore, and the University of Delhi. The implementation plan is currently being discussed with MHRD and NInC has also suggested an Advisory Committee for this purpose to be created under the purview of the Ministry.


Tod-Fod-Jod

NInC has come up with the concept of Top-Fod-Jod workshops at schools and colleges to Excite young minds to understand the technology behind

articles/devices of daily use by dismantling them Encourage them to put together ‘jugaad’ solutions for local

problems Encourage hands-on learning of science

Numerous Tod-Fod-Jod Sessions with schools, both urban and rural, are planned in 2013

Discussions underway with MHRD for nation wide roll out


Advocacy and Communication for Innovation: India Innovation Portal Information related to innovations and innovators in a single repository for

prospective innovators and policy makers Platform for idea exchange Platform for fostering industry-academia partnerships, and national and global

collaborations, interactive communities Dissemination of information on innovations across sectors and in states Outreach medium to publicise and announce Awards and Challenges Similar portals on core sectors such as water, energy, environment, biodiversity

have been successfully facilitated by the National Knowledge Commission Portal launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister on 15th November 2011:

www.innovation.gov.in An online Platform to conduct Grand Challenges to promote innovations to be

launched


Call for Proposals for Reducing Drudgery NInC had announced an innovation Challenge to reduce worker

drudgery in October 2011 468 proposals were received and 6 were awarded for their

innovations by Shri Jairam Ramesh, Kumari Selja, and Shri Sam Pitroda at a function on 4th April 2012

PM appraised of the innovations and the need for appropriate policy interventions

Indian Step and Business Incubators Association (ISBA) and Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) supporting these entrepreneurs to convert their proposals into a business plan


One MP One Idea

NInC initiative to foster a grassroots bottoms-up approach to innovation and to arrive at solutions for local problems

Through this competition, every MP will be encouraged to become the ‘champion of innovation’ in his/her constituency by holding the ‘One MP-One Idea’ competition

Cash awards of Rs. 2.5 lakh, Rs. 1.5 lakh and Rs. 1 Lakh to be awarded to the winners from the MPLADS

Approved for all Lok Sabha MPs in May 2012 by Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation


Science Museums NInC is working with the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM)

and the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) to promote innovation in Museums through: Creating Innovation Spaces Promoting Interactive Exhibits Encouraging outreach activities

7 Pilots of Innovation Spaces to be set up by December 2012 Pilot effort at: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, North-East to be

led by NCSM Pilot at Sawai Madhopur to be led by NMNH Pilot at Ahmedabad to led by Vikram Sarabhai Communcity Science

Centre (VASCSC)


Partnering for Innovation: Collaboration and Networks NInC will develop platforms for collaboration and engagement

with other countries to understand their views, ideas and strategies for strengthening the innovation eco-system

These cross-cultural exchanges will stimulate and add value to our views on innovation

As a first NInC hosted a Global Innovation Roundtable on 14th-15th November 2011 where heads of innovation policy from 15 countries came together to share innovation perspectives.

A Follow up Roundtable was hosted on 1st and 2nd November 2012 Post Roundtable we are receiving multiple proposals on

collaboration from interested countries


Collaboration, Training & Research

Fostering a culture of innovations requires mechanisms for collaboration, training and research

The Councils will bring key stakeholders together to analyse problems and recommend solutions

The clusters – physical and virtual – will create support systems and infrastructure for innovators

The India Inclusive Innovation Fund would provide the right resources and incentives

The India Innovation Portal would provide a platform for collaboration, sharing and support by creating right synergies

These linkages, knowledge exchanges and support mechanisms in the system will enable ideas to be transformed into innovative outputs


Multiple Roadmaps

The core ideas, strategies and recommendations devised at the national, state and sectoral levels will be crystallized in the form of Roadmaps

These will provide action points and policy inputs to the government for innovation focused on inclusive growth at the National level, State levels and in each identified domain and sector

These roadmaps will be created at the national level by the National Innovation Council, at the state level by the State councils and in each sector by the Sectoral Councils or sub groups identified by the Sectoral Councils
