• National knowledge commission survey shows that MSME(micro medium and small enterprises) involved in majority of innovations in India)
• Lack of proper system to cross check research papers resulting rejection from international communities
• Then number of files handled by a patent officer is about 120 which results lagging of patent processes
• Lack of experiment oriented educational culture among students leads to less number of research students
Innovation and research: current scenario
Problem solving strategy
Inception of easily accessible ‘Centre of excellences’ normalized across the country
Promotion of research and innovation through autonomous PPP model ‘Centre of Excellences’
3
• Common platform for academician and professionals to collaborate
• Access to public on request
• Opportunity for eminent personalities to give back to society
PPP Model Centre of Excellences
• Public Private Partnership infrastructure development • Autonomous, initially mentored by centrally funded institutions distributed normally across the country
• Separate system to speedup patent formalities
Implementation model
• Opportunity for even those who didn’t receive formal education
• Provide better infrastructure for MSME at minimum cost
• Common knowledge pool (research paper, books…)
Advantage over exiting system
Human Resource management

Initialization
• Initial step taken by government
• Private-Public Partnership for fund raising
• Established in main educational hubs.
• Normally distributed over population
Mentorship
• Mentored by IITs, IIMs, DRDO, ISRO, AIIMS…
• Tie-up with prestigious institutions for benefit of professionals and students
Human Resource
• Retired scientists, professors…
• Opportunity for eminent NRI talent pool
• Bright students as Interns

INITIALIZATION RUNNING FUTURE EXPANSION
• Autonomous body • Lead by experts in respective fields • Each center specialized on specific field • Equipped with State of the art scientific instruments • Network of scientists for Peer review of research papers • Network of Centre of excellences under a common council • Government private profit division in mutually funded research • Common online data base of all researches done in the country • Facility accessible to public to carryout independent research on request • Industry oriented research of private/public companies with academicians • Authority over technology/human resource transfer from one center to another • Patent filing system under this councils’ administrative power with more human resource • Frequent training sessions by experts to MSME (Micro, Small and medium enterprises) on request

INITIALIZATION RUNNING FUTURE EXPANSION
Autonomous
In each innovation center to propose crucial requirements to higher authority
System for maintaining physical infrastructure
Supreme Counsel
Sub-counsel of each center
Center of Excellence
Patent filing system
Patent offices in each center with more human resource to handle files faster
Working structure
8
• Extension centers in various universities to bridge the gap between students and research
• Internship/project experience to bright students
• Incubation to viable innovations and initial cost gathering using government schemes
• Fun research center for primary and high-school students
• 10-years span innovation policy changing
• Magazines and news letters for students of every age group to increase their interest in science and research
• Increase the diversity of research to various fields as per the local requirement
INITIALIZATION RUNNING FUTURE EXPANSION
Future Plans
Approximate cost estimation* (per center)
Capital distribution ratio (Central govt :State govt :Industry) : 50:25:25
9
Allotment Cost in rupees
Total non recurring cost(per center) 150 Cr
Total recurring cost per year 50 Cr
Workforce development expenditure per year 20 Cr
Initial Total cost 220 Cr
*inspired from present PPP model of IIITs
Main beneficiaries • Budding scientists from student community
• Companies involved in R&D in every section
• NRI scientists and professional communities
• Scientists currently working in foreign organizations
• Retired scientists who wish to continue in their fields
• A better platform for industrial-academia collaboration
• Companies currently using patents owned by foreigners
• Better access to knowledge base of country through a new platform
• Better job/research opportunity for talented brains of India in India
• People who are having enough interest and knowledge in particular field but not much qualification to join formal research stream
• Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) (Universal access to high class infrastructure with less capital cost )
10
Challenges • Need of Special salary Package according to
professional merit
• Availability of Modern Scientific equipments in India
• Getting confidence of industries to work with Public sector institutions
• Reluctance of Government to invest more in Research and development area
• Hiring professional in initialization time
11
Risks • Nepotism in hiring professionals • Miss-use of ‘public access’ system • Lack of confidence of students in taking
research as their career • Private influence in policy making
