can children creativity influence public policy?
yes indeed, children are not sink of sermons, but also source of ideas
Print 'Wash your hands' on every lunch box
when have we seen so much policy traction for an idea of knowledge-rich, economically poor girl child in our country? Thanks and congratulations to Ms Maneka Gandhi, Minister of women and child Welfare, Union Government, for appreciating the idea of Shireen and taking it up for urgent implementation at the highest level.
If there were more ministers paying attention to grassroots ideas and creativity, India can transform faster than ever before, hope PMO India is listening

Presentation made to UNDP Delhi team to persuade them as to why it is important to recognise, respect and reward creative individuals and communities at the grassroots level. The innovations for and from grassroots are both important but former get more attention than the latter. Dev programs should aim at giving voice visibility and velocity to frugal and sustainable solutions. grassroots innovations are not jugaad, they are borne aout of numeorus iterations of experiments and trials. The Honey Bee Network started 30 years ago is keen to support such efforts globally. it also seeks volunteers to join hands with us see sristi.org, gian.org,. nifindia.org anilg.sristi.org
Engagement, involvement and immersion (EII): diaspora for developmentDr Anil Gupta
There is a huge upsurge in the mood of non-resident Indians to engage with developmental currents in the country. Many of them want to contribute toward building up a New India but don't know enough about how to go about it. The suggestions below may help all stakeholders in making this happen. I am also attaching 15 global inclusive innovation challenge which may be addressed by the diaspora in a very productive manner.Support—sporadic causes
Sustain -- ongoing initiatives of state, market, civil society, mentor, strengthen the existing programs
Spawn ---sow the seeds of new ideas, innovations
Scale up– help scale up upcoming start-ups, fledgling initiatives, small enterprises of women, disabled etc.,
Start-up– set up new enterprises for meeting the unmet social needs,

Empathetic innovations for closing the social technological gap: Honey Bee Network Model
Inclusion of bypassed spaces, sectors, skills and social segments in developmental agenda has rightly engaged the attention of world technology leaders. But this inclusion in the true sense, may not happen unless we begin to learn from grassroots innovators and communities and blend formal and informal S & T systems. This has been the mission pursued by The Honey Bee Network, a social movement for the last twenty five years. The heuristics of sustainable frugal innovation will not emerge from a jugaad (makeshift) mentality. These will require an empathetic understanding of affordability, accessibility, availability, rejuvenability, durability and circularity of products and services. Designing new solutions by building upon artefactual, metaphorical, heuristic and gestalt aspects of innovation will fertilise our imagination, enrich scientific inquiry and result in reciprocal, responsive, and responsible relationship with knowledge rich- economically poor, creative communities.
Chief Information Officers in different companies face a challenge to redefine their role as Chief Innovation Officer. How do they blend inside-out strategies of open innovation with outside-in, the dominant sponge model of open innovation is discussed here. lessons from How David Beats Goliath - The New Yorker
www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/05/11/090511fa_fact_gladwell? are used to close the discussio. It is suggested that what Indian IT techie vivek ranadive did by training his daughter's team very differently in basketball is a mantra that may help many smaller companies and also big companies to transform their strategies. The BGBD model ( bada dimag, bada dil) stressing large heart-large mind model to share both ways is the way to go, a lesson from honey bee network
Landscapesofloveforslideshare 131017144016-phpapp02 landscapes of love Dr Anil Gupta
how do we create shared space of love, learn from existing spaces of caring and sharing, how to redefine cities, as places of connected communities and not alienated neighbourhood, how do we care for nature in cities
this is a template in which we want photographers to take photos of other innovations. Mansukhbhai has received national award by National Innovation Foundation at Presidential award function. Idea is to develop photo essays of innovators who have helped in eliminating child labour or enhancing income of their parents so that children are sent to school and not work. We are aware that technologies alone may not eliminate child labour but they can facilitate the conditions for that to happen, and in some cases help in elimination, as it happened in the present case. sristi invited photographers who wish to join hands in this effort.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

IITB,CSIR Bhatnagar Fellow
Designing an ecosystem for valorising
grassroots innovations:
The Honey Bee Network perspective
2. Why Grassroots Innovations
In a context of rising income disparity among the have and
have-nots, conversion of the ideas and innovations of
knowledge-rich but economically-poor individuals and
communities into viable means of raising income, addressing
social needs, and conserving the environment is needed
Theemergence, recognition and diffusion of grassroots
innovations helps trigger experimental self-design ethic and
reduce dependence on the government for solving local
problems.
Long tail of innovation: location specific solution
GRI provide frugal heuristics for fertilizing imagination in
other sectors of economy including higher education
3. Frugality born out of material constraints and knowledge abundance is
the way forward at all levels in the society
Engaging students pursuing Higher Education and final year school in
scouting and supporting grassroots innovations and outstanding
Traditional knowledge is the most frugal way forward, It can start
tomorrow without any additional funding though validation and value
addition will need public funds. Link final year projects of students with
unmet social needs as in Techpedia.in
Almost ninety per cent start up ideas die before the Venture funds get
interested in equity investment in commercially viable ventures. Early
stage Micro Venture Innovation Fund is imperative as distinct from
micro finance
Each public sector lab should be mandated to test and give free reports
to grassroots innovators and TK holders and national fund for the
purpose compensate the labs.
4. Matheus M Liyambo
SRISTI natural product lab and GIAN, Honey Bee Network will help him analyze his products,
and if possible commercialize these in India but this can easily be done here,
Will HIGHER Education Ministry kindly issue a circular to public sector labs to help such
innovators and TK holders
Will our students of phytochemistry, Pharmacognosy and chemical engg take up classroom
projects on real life challenges, let us recognize and reward such students

Shalini’s grandfather uses a walker to assist him while he walks. But
she noticed that he could only use the walker comfortably while walking
on a level surface. Shalini came up with the idea of the modified walker
with adjustable legs. NIF got it fabricated and licensed this technology to
a company recently

Wei zhi chuan, class tenth
• Wei started playing ping pong at the age of six
• After lot of practice in the day, his shoes became wet
due to sweat and left an uncomfortable feeling
• He thought of inventing “bactericidal shoe hanging
machine”
• When the shoes are put on the hooks in the shoe
hanging machine, the ultra violet rays and hot air start
freshening the shoe and the dampness as well as the
odour is removed. The shoes become fresh.

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
At IIT Delhi, We have developed a unique microscopy
technology, cTIRF:compact Total Internal Reflection
Fluorescence”. The cTIRF converts a simple bright-field
microscope to fluorescence microscope without any hassle of
tedious illumination mechanism, optical filters,and additional
installations. This 3D-printed module is highly compact (~approx
size of calculator), robust, cost-effective and allows rapid
(<2mins) TB diagnosis without additional infrastructure, cost
and training. While the sputum sample processing, smear
preparation remains same as recommended by WHO. In
alignment of Govt. of India mission to eradicate TB by 2025,
cTIRF can be a scalable solution for easy and rapid deployment
across India.

70. Emerging Models of innovations
• New models of innovations:
a) Building upon what disadvantaged people
are rich in: inability to live with
problems unsolved –overcoming inertia
b) Empathetic innovations: samvedana se
srijansheelta, kho kho model of
innovation ( innovation relay )
c) Engaging students with society through
innovation clubs to search, spread, celebrate
innovations and sense the unmet social needs
71. Models of innovations:
d) Inverted model of innovations: children
invent, engineers fabricate, and
companies commercialize
e) Pooling of distributed ideas for innovation and
experimentation : uncommon from common
f) distributed mind management:
www.techpedia.in, transcending the limits of
frugality
g) Moving blackboards: learning from
unexpected quarters
