INNOVATION DEFINED

Innovation defined
Involves thinking differently, creatively and insightfully
Enables solutions/ inventions that have an impact on social and economic value
Fulfills unmet needs, not met by conventional products/processes/ institutional forms
Moving beyond R&D to mean new applications of old technologies, new processes & structures, organisational creativity & more…

Innovation
Products
Services
Processes
Organization
Governance
Social sector
Urban/Rural
Public
National
International
Private Sector/ NGO
Individual
Institution
Big/ Small
Innovations redefine everything

Inclusive Innovation: The Indian Model
Innovation paradigm to focus on inclusive innovation for/of & by the people at the BoP
Focus on ‘frugal innovation’ that produces products and services that are affordable by more people at low levels of income, without compromising quality
Need innovation processes that are ‘frugal’ in terms of the resources required & have a ‘frugal’ impact on the earth’s resources

From ‘Jugaad’ to Frugal Engineering
Existing culture of improvisational innovation or ‘jugaad’ driven by scarce resources & customers’ needs
Informal improvisation needs to be scaled up to a system based on frugal engineering geared towards Indian needs
Would drive disruptive innovations in sectors such as health, education, housing etc. to meet the needs of many. For example the $2000 Tata Nano or the $2000 open-heart surgery at Narayana Hrudayalaya

Government has approved the proposal to connect all 250,000 Panchayats through optic fiber on 25 th October 2011

Benefits of Broadband at Panchayats: Kanpura Case Study
Broadband at Kanpura Panchayat in Rajasthan has enabled:
Timely access to Land Records to apply for Farmer Credit Cards instead of travelling 20 miles to Ajmer
Real time feedback to the Government for faster solutions on the ground
Online systems for education, examination and job applications
Access to online health records for local health workers related to immunization, illness and pregnancy which has allowed timely health interventions such as vaccinations etc.
A demonstration of the same was given to President Obama as part of an Expo on ‘Democracy and Open Government’

Interaction with Kanpura Panchayat through Broadband

8. 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 14 th -15 th November 2011 where heads of innovation policy from 15 countries came together to share innovation perspectives

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
