Tod Fod Jod Mentor Training - KarnatakaNeeraj Gulati
The document discusses Tod Fod Jod, an initiative of the National Innovation Council in India aimed at igniting youth innovation through hands-on learning approaches. It provides an overview of the National Innovation Council, describes the vision and activities of the Tod Fod Jod initiative to promote deconstruction, reconstruction, and creation among youth using multidisciplinary tools and techniques. The document also introduces the individuals leading the Tod Fod Jod initiative and their backgrounds.
Great strides have happened at universities to cultivate entrepreneurs, and regions have developed stronger programs for collaborating with their higher education institutions to launch ventures. However, measurement and tracking of these economic development programs still lags the myriad approaches to starting new ventures. This delay may be attributed in part to continued reliance on traditional measurement methods for economic development performance within entrepreneurial ecosystems that are not structured to produce traditional results. This session presents new perspectives on the challenges of university-based entrepreneurship within regional economic systems and suggests new approaches to measuring and managing new venture creation.
Tod Fod Jod Mentor Training - DPS Vasant Kunj, New DelhiNeeraj Gulati

Tod Fod Jod aims to ignite youth innovation by having students deconstruct objects to understand how they work, then reconstruct or repurpose items through hands-on projects. The workshop trained mentors on guiding students through the "Tod Fod Jod" process of deconstruction, reconstruction, and creation to develop skills like problem solving, critical thinking, and hands-on learning.
Best practices in business incubation_Rustam_Lalkaka 2002Vasily Ryzhonkov
Business incubators, evolving from experiences with business centers and other support
services, have grown rapidly in number from a 200 a decade ago to over 3,000 world-wide today. Incubator programs in the developing and restructuring countries are
typically focused on technology ventures. But the interests of civil society call for the
government, private sector and universities in all nations to address the wider concerns
of empowering disadvantaged groups through employment and facilitated access to
capital (human, knowledge, social and financial).
While incubators have grown in numbers, the uneven performance and poor
sustainability in many situations have become serious issues with the governments and
sponsors who continue to subsidize many of them. There has been much recent interest in
identifying ‘best practices’ that could then be used elsewhere. But these practices are
location-, culture- and time-specific, and can only be adapted to the conditions prevailing
in local situations. This paper reviews the operating experiences in the USA, (which has
about 1,000 incubators of the world total), in China, Brazil and Korea (the largest
programs in the developing world), and other selected countries. The emerging lessons
(yet to be learned) on enhancing performance based on ’good’ international practices
together with some urgent research issues are outlined. Success in the Olympiad of
venture creation and employment generation depends essentially on five inter-linked
rings: Public policy, private partnerships, knowledge affiliations, professional
networking and community involvement.
