This document proposes establishing research and development habitats and knowledge centers across different levels of the Indian education system to promote applied learning through a novel feedback mechanism from government institutions. It outlines establishing centers equipped with smart classrooms that provide access to scientific resources and career guidance from the primary to graduate levels. Funding and incentives are suggested to support student projects, access to foreign labs and journals, and pilot commercial projects to foster innovation in India.

1. BRAIN GRAIN :
PROMOTING RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
Establishment of R & D Habitats and Knowledge Centres
at different sections of the Indian Education System,
to promote interest in applicative learning through a
novel Feedback Mechanism by the government institutions.

2.  Lack of Curiosity and Creativity due to lack of applicative learning at
basic levels of education.
 Though sufficient government funds and schemes already exist but
the Proper Channel Doesn’t Function as desired and required.
 Scarcity of Awareness and Platforms to showcase various advantages
and career prospects in R&D.
 Though very good technical/ Non- technical educational institutions
exist, but Severe Lack of Industry Related or Commercialized Projects
that have significant revenue relevance.

 Estimated 40 lakh students would be a part of this innovation
renaissance in India, but at the same time proper channels to make
resources available should function properly.
 The expenditure is estimated to come down from ₹ 600 crores to ₹
150 crores in 5 years reducing financial burden on the government,
but this budget might vary as per the national budget.
 Break even point where the expenditure levels and substantial
outcomes in terms of research and innovation among students would
amalgamate is estimated to be reached in the 3rd year.
