India ranks low in global innovation despite its large population due to low investment in research and development and a lack of transparency. The document proposes a solution to establish 120 coordinators across 30 regions to better manage funds, communicate with researchers and the government, and ensure innovations reach end-users. Coordinators would be graduates with communication and managerial skills, paid Rs. 30,000 per month plus travel expenses. They would receive training and work with selectors from research institutes to implement the system at various levels from schools to businesses. This is estimated to cost Rs. 50 million initially for hiring plus Rs. 48 million monthly for salaries and expenses, but would positively impact students, farmers, businesses and employment. Risks include funds

2. Content, Scenario and What’s wrong about it!
0 Current investment Scenario –
Total world’s investment = 1.4 million USD
India’s share = 40 billion USD (0.8% of GDP)
0 Number of patents
In Japan (ranked 1st) = 472417
In India (ranked 14th) = 15717
0 Lack of Transparency
Expenditure = Rs. 277 billion (2004-2005)
Corruption money is Rs. 100 billion
0 India ranks 2nd in population but 66th in global innovation

3. - Small increase in investment => Huge
increase in innovation
- Maximum utilisation of available
resources

time investment)

5. Implementation at different levels
with the help of coordinators
Law
Government
lawyers stand for
IPR
Business
Get funds for
innovative ideas
Get e-resources from
developers
Schools
Future
Researchers
Farmers

6. Managers = Coordinators

7. Cost Model
0 One Time Cost for Recruitment
100 professionals  Rs.50,000 each for half year of application
processing and personal interview
Additional cost relating to survey, advertisements, paper marks =
Rs.50,00,000
0 Monthly Cost
120 coordinators  Rs. 30,000 per month (salary of each coordinator)
Additional cost for travelling and communication = Rs.18,00,000 per
month in total
0 Miscellaneous Expenditure
Surveys, paperworks, advertisements, Re-recruitments  Collectively
Rs.2,00,000 per month
