- National_Innovation_Foundation_-_India abstract "National Innovation Foundation – India (NIF) is an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology (India), Government of India. It was set up in February 2000 at Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India to provide institutional support for scouting, spawning, sustaining and scaling up the grassroots innovations.NIF conducts a biennial national competition for grassroots green technologies developed by farmers, mechanics, artisans and others through their own genius without any recourse to professional help. NIF validates these innovations with the help of experts, and, ascertains the novelty in these innovations by doing prior art search. If the innovation is deemed novel, NIF files a patent on behalf of the innovator. NIF also funds value addition initiatives in these innovations to upscale them and make them more useful for a larger segment of people.To determine the feasibility of the commercializing of technology, NIF conducts market research and test marketing. Those technologies which are found to be commercially viable are licensed to willing entrepreneurs. A Micro Venture Innovation Fund (MVIF), sponsored by Small Industries Development Bank of India in 2003, supports the activities of prototype development, test marketing and pilot production.IGNITE is an annual competition for student’s ideas and innovations conducted by NIF in partnership with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Some State Education Boards also partner in the same. All students up to the 12th class from any school (and of the same age group but out of school also) in India are eligible to participate in IGNITE. The IGNITE awards are announced on October 15, the birthday of Bharat Ratna, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India, which is celebrated as the children's creativity and Innovation Day by NIF.NIF is mandated to build a national register of ideas, innovations and Traditional Knowledge (TK) practices related to agriculture, plants, animal health, and human health. With the help of the Honey Bee Network, NIF has been able to scout and document over 1,81,000 examples of technological ideas, innovations and traditional practices. Since its inception, NIF has also recognised over 550 grassroots innovators and students in its various national award functions providing them a platform to showcase their creativity.".
