2. Despite India’s population being 17% of the world’s total population :
There are barely 300,000 scientific R&D personnel in India. That represents a
disappointingly low ratio of around 7.5 R&D staff per 10,000 workforce. And,
according to the India Science Report, published by the National Council of Applied
Economic Research in 2005, only 53 per cent of the five million people working in S&T
related professions hold degrees.
India filed only 0.3% of the total world patents in 2010 and accounts for a meager
3.5% of all global research output.
India spent only 2.9% of the world’s total expenditure on research against China
which spent 14.2%.

3. The education system fails to promote any innovation .It is built on a
‘job-oriented’system ‘ after Graduation rather than beginning and
managing ones own business.
CAUSESCAUSES
3
The education system fails to promote any innovation .It is built on a
‘job-oriented’system ‘ after Graduation rather than beginning and
managing ones own business.
Students moving away from S&T to work in other sectors within the country -
we lack courses that provoke creativity and campaigns that promote creative
thinking as a future long-term profession.
Brain drain overseas ( Internal
or 'inter-sectoral' brain drain )
Indian society is risk-averse - This lack of tolerance
toward failure instills the fear of taking risks., thus
making it difficult to generate innovative ideas or to
promote existing ones.
Lack of necessary support mechanisms that foster
commercialization and innovation - research funds, venture
capital funds, and start-up capital, as well as awareness
programs and initiatives.
Most people do not have the means to start their own
business and banks are somewhat reluctant in giving loans
to something new and innovative.

4. PROMOTING RESEARCH AND INNOVATION BY SETTING UP A CENTRALIZED
BODY FOR PROMOTING, MONITORING AND CONTROL OF RESEARCH AND
INNOVATION IN INDIA

SETTING UP CENTRALIZED BODY BY CONSOLIDATING EXISTING BODIES
AND WILL ALSO INVOLVE PRIVATE CORPORATIONS
The Aim of the Body will be to develop the required
intellectual capital as well as generate effective synergies
among industry, government, the educational system, the
R&D environment and the consumer.
5
• The body will have Board members from different Ministries and Companies. Creating and Strengthening
Partnerships in Research will surely help in better utilization of funds and resources.
• A centralized body will be setup which will promote as well as monitor the Research, Innovations and
Developments.
• The body will also help in filing Patents and solving issues related to obtaining Intellectual Property Right.
• The body will also go for effective collaboration between industry, universities and R&D institutions.
The Aim of the Body will be to develop the required
intellectual capital as well as generate effective synergies
among industry, government, the educational system, the

6. INVITING APPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCHINVITING APPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH
The objective of Inviting applications for Research is to
provide equal opportunity from the individuals, at grassroots
level, to the large firm level.

• It will be annual or a Half-Yearly event
• By this event people who are genuinely interested in Research will be called for presentation
• Top 100 – 200 Ideas will be selected based on certain criterion through a rigorous selection process
• Now array of support funds, facilities, other resources and services required are specified.

7. PROVIDING FUNDING, FACILITIES AND MENTORSHIPPROVIDING FUNDING, FACILITIES AND MENTORSHIP
Adequate funds are disbursed along with the needed
infrastructure, Mentor is assigned from a group of experts
7
• The need of Funds is evaluated and the same is provided timely - The Fund will focus on providing risk
capital funding that create and deliver technologies and solutions
• Best available Research facility will be provided - The Fund and recourses will support Research at
different stages of the development cycle – from early stages, through later phases of scaling-up of
potentially successful solutions.
• A mentor is allotted to each Researcher to get proper one to one mentorship
• The research is evaluated and monitored time to time by third party.

1. Various funds setup by Government of India will be channelized by the body.
2. The ideas selected will be auctioned to various companies who have interest to
fund. Later on when the idea is fully materialized they will get patented on their
name.
3. Funds from various foreign research institutes will be attracted.

10. CHALLENGES AND RISKS MITIGATION FACTORS
Conceptual Risks
• In some cases, viability of funding can be low
• Existing Research institutes may not support
• Funding from various companies and through
different means
• Integration of Government bodies, Corporates,
Research institutes, Industry experts and Financers
10
• Advertising/ Awareness Campaign
• Tie-ups with Foreign research centers
• Mentorship will be provided by Experts
Implementation challenges
• Difficulty in integrating Government infrastructure with the
private
• Industry may feel that the quality of research will not be up to the
mark
