Identify • Most of the grass root innovators never come to the forefront • Evolve a mechanism to identify them • Village panchayat or the smallest unit at village level can take up the task Support to Grass Root Innovators Institutionalize 1 Promote • After a set of them are identified, government needs to promote them • A central team should match such need gap requirements to the innovators Findings • Institutionalizing the innovations • by incorporating laws and concessions for the innovators will help a long way in firmly establishing the strong foothold of grass root innovations 2 5 Collaborate • Collaboration amongst the innovators and the people is most pivotal to help the innovations in spreading • Most of the times these collaboration help in improvement of existing innovation Help • Evolve a mechanism, such as GIAN or SRSTHI, which helps grass root innovators • Keep the help mechanism away from the red tape • Evolve a fast and speedy mechanism to help, 3 4 Honey Bee Network GIAN Network • A crucible of like-minded individuals, innovators, farmers, scholars, academicians, policy makers, entrepreneurs and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) • Presence in more than seventy five countries • Over the last twenty years has documented more than 1,00,000 ideas, innovations and traditional knowledge practices • GIAN is an incubator of grassroots innovations and traditional knowledge GIANs have been setup at Ahmedabad & Jaipur for providing incubation support to grassroots innovators  • GIAN is helping unaided, unqualified, untrained individual innovator from the informal sector who has conceptualized/developed technological innovation and/or outstanding traditional knowledge practices.

The green innovator, Mansukh Prajapati, has already sold several units of the refrigerator to companies in these countries. • The Honey Bee Network (HBN) and National Innovation Foundation (NIF), which scout and document innovations from remote areas in the country, have received enquiry from 40 countries for 27 products. Corporate Houses Involvement 1 Reduce demand 6 2 Optimize organizational structure and governance Consolidate and centralize support services 7 Develop capabilities and mindsets 5 3 Off-shoring and outsourcing Enable IT 4 • The future success of grass root innovations lies in dual support of government as well as corporate houses • While government has to provide policy and principle support, corporate houses should bear the finances • This will result in 3 fold benefit for government, people as well as the corporate houses Lean optimization
