How to make future campaign to scout innovations more successful

Technical expertise sharing among innovators (Respective)

Publicity for innovations/products in their respective area-geographical area, each of us can publicize in each state.

Translating the innovations in respective local language for wider publicity

Conducting local applications for adoption of innovations-if a particular innovation is made or specific area (geographical) and needs some technical change for use in other area. Then innovators can help each other in research.

Dealership for marketing other innovator products- each innovators can take dealership of another innovation in their area- make a new marketing channel.

Financial help

Innovators Associations

Criteria for membership to be defined clearly.

Members elect their office bearers democratically

Need for innovators Association itself has to be discussed. Because existing Honey Bee network/NIF can do the work instead of innovators association.

Many group members said there should be no membership fee since innovators are from low-income group.

Other revenue methods should be thought of

Members shall have entrance fee, annual renewal fee, and voluntary donation.

Credit for association members through the fund generated.

Policy makers

NIF Recognition shall have to be deemed as government validity

Respective state government formulates pilot project for financial support to innovators.

Honor the innovators through awards, at state level by Chief Minister of respective states on republic day etc. so that these innovations and innovators come in limelight.

Should contact Doordarshan/local T V channels/news papers for wider publicity

Subsidies, Tax exemption to innovators products.

Credit card system (Green card) far availing quick soft loan from bank.

NIF Register should be considered as Pseudo Patent/Temporary patent

Quick loan facility on a low interest should be given

Innovators should be given a pension or financial support

Similar to freedom fighters benefits shall also be made available to the innovators.

Scouting

NIF shall have a branch in every state

Repeated advertisement in local media

Scouting from school/college level eg in science mela etc

One chapter on NIF/Innovators in school syllabus so that from childhood an awareness is created.

Work should be decentralized and award function should be held in one state every year

Rotational ceremonies of NIF award instead of connectivity at Head quarters.

To have one GIAN in each region.
