PRESIDENTS COLUMN
Innovation is critical to driving
growth in developed as well as
emerging economies.
Opportunities for innovation
careers in Asian countries are not
uniform. India has a long tradition
of innovation and a significant
pool of qualified people, both
within country as well as the
diaspora, presently engaged in innovative activities.
Realizing, the potential available in our country,
Government of India is formulating major policies related
to higher education to meet the changing needs within
the country and to be an effective player in the
globalized knowledge economy. A World Bank report
also details the need for strengthening innovation
ecosystems with better skilled human capital,
information infrastructure and finance. The National
Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Development
Board (NSTEDB) was setup to promote knowledge
based and innovation driven enterprises under the
Ministry of Science and Technology by the Government
of India.
The National Innovation Council (NInC) has undertaken
an effort to create University Innovation Clusters. A
University Innovation Cluster will enable enhancements
in multiple aspects of the University, while providing a better
environment for innovation to flourish. A Cluster Innovation
Centre will act as a resource, a guide and an arm of the
University to foster, facilitate and further innovation culture
and spirit in the University and the cluster. NInC will act
as a platform to facilitate this engagement and
collaboration with domain experts, stakeholders and key
participants to create an innovation movement in India.
The CII & INSEAD Global Innovation Index Report ranks
India at 56 out of 132 countries overall.
India has taken steps in nurturing diverse higher
learning institutions such as research-intensive
universities, teaching universities & colleges, and
technology and industry oriented universities & colleges.
Such diverse human capital is essential for sustaining
the value chain of innovation. This is contributing to the
growing capacity and capabilities for innovation in India.
The value chain of innovation should be further enhanced
by internationalization, strategic partnerships, appropriate
funding support, and fine tuning of national and
organizational policies and systems.
Technological Innovations in India
NInC has been working with MHRD to set up Design
Innovation centres, an Open Design School and a National
Design Innovation Network (NDIN) in the leading Institutes
of nation importance to promote creativity and nurture
innovations. It has also planned to start a Meta University
taking advantage of the National Knowledge Network
(NKN) of India and to start Innovation Centres in all the
District Institute of Education and Training (DIET). To
bridge the demand-supply gaps in multiple aspects of a
business, the creation of Cluster Innovation Centres (CICs)
in each industry cluster is also proposed by NInC. Each
CIC will act as a networking hub for the cluster, connecting
the various regional/national actors and stakeholders in
symbiotic relationships. NInC will catalyse the creation
of at least 50 such Industry Innovation Clusters across
sectors spreading the geographic width of the country.
If our countrys development is to be sustained, then it
is imperative that we have to reform our systems of higher
education. Higher education is continuing to expand,
mostly in an unplanned manner, without even minimum
levels of checks and balances. The Governmental control
in the Universities must be reduced reasonably, so that
the University autonomy and accountability are
strengthened and academic decisions are taken on merit.
Regulatory bodies should ensure that quality education
is imparted to the youth of this country and should play a
facilitating role in guiding the institutions for enhancing
quality.
