1. Open Innovation Meeting April 17, 2015
Proposal involving Technical Board and Cultural Board
With Academia
Prof. Gautam Biswas, FNA
JC Bose National Fellow

2. Call for Open Innovation
Undergraduate students of IITs can be assigned challenging research projects at an
early stage so that they can complete the work by the time they graduate.
As a result some projects may culminate into complete product.
“We must restore the pride and prestige of
Science and scientists in our nation; revive the
romance for science in society, rekindle the love
for it in our children; and, encourage our scientists –
to dream, imagine and explore”
SHRI NARENDRA MODI
Honorable Prime Minister of India
The route to Open Innovation has to be Understood and Strategized in a Comprehensive manner
