= Strategy #1 : Increasing the Contribution of First year Students in College =

[[File:Prototypr.jpg]]

== Awareness and Motivation in Students ==

*Workshop and seminars to be conducted to educate students with respect to the importance of the contribution they might do to their college.  ('''Expected time of initiation''': '''''By April end) '''''
*Volunteering in activities that helps them to interact with seniors. ('''Expected time of completion''': '''''By September end) '''''
*Teachers to be more enthusiastic in listening and guiding students. ('''Expected time of completion''': '''''By September end) '''''
*Motivating students to prepare landscape canvas, so as to analyse the resources in the college and be updated with it. ('''Expected time of completion''': '''''By March end) '''''

'''OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT: How might we make the education micro-system in our college encourage creativity instead of discouraging it?'''

'''Prototype (or rather a Pretotype) Debate Workshop by Akshat: '''

In the face overwhelming Monotony students often end up losing their creativity. The curriculum does not promote free association of ideas in the students and often steers them towards a habit of either excessive rote learning or intensive procrastination.

Extra- Curricular Activities, like Art, Photography, Poetry, and Debating can help the students gain a fresh perspective on their syllabus, and perhaps even carve out new careers via the unique application of their knowledge.

Students often find themselves to be at a loss for where to begin, with the first year students being actively discouraged from participating in Club activities and from Interacting with their seniors.

Interesting Workshops and Cross- Collaboration between the clubs can promote healthy interaction between the first year students and help alleviate their feelings of loneliness by creating a place for them in a community of like-minded individuals, whilst helping them gain important skills viz. Rhetoric, Argumentation and Rational Thinking.

*'''Workshops for Teachers/all Faculty members''' as on how to connect with students, and rather that only demanding marks and then judging students solely based on academic performance. Equal weightage should be given to the creative mindset and the effort a student puts into brining the idea/entrepreneurship skill into action. '''(Expected to be completed by December)'''

== '''Innovation Enouragement Task (IET)'''<br/> ==

*A monitoring team consisting of an elected student and a professor in the mid 30’s to develop a monthly report on '''innovation encouragement task (IET)''' and hence providing their feedback to the respective subjects of this program, to fill the gaps. ''(professor in mid 30’s as He/She will be having enough experience in the field for such evaluation, and won’t lacking that spark to achieve something He/She was a student not soo long ago. )  '''''(Expected to be completed by December)'''

== '''Inspirational Talks'''   ==

*Playing inspirational videos every week without prior notice, so that students continue into processing their energy to an innovative and focused learning. Also organizing '''inspirational talks''' by successful startup leaders about their journey, and what all is waiting for the students in the world beyond campus boundaries. '''(Expected to be completed by April)'''

== '''INCREASING SUPPORT TO INCREASE GENERATION OF IDEAS''' ==

[[File:Hariinterview.JPG|thumb|Hariinterview.JPG]]

Imagine an ideal situation; you have a bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks. Also suppose you are new to using chopsticks. Now if you are in a Chinese/Japanese restaurant then you would surely feel left out and guess what it’s never your fault, you have the bowl of noodles you have chopsticks it’s just that you don’t know the procedure to use it. Similarly, thousands of children all round the world want to generate new ideas “they want to eat (in case of our example) but don’t know how to use the chopsticks or as in our case generate new ideas. In our college two programs run in a similar direction. One is '''ICC'''(Infosys Campus Connect)/'''PDP'''(Personality Development Program) and second is '''Startup Summit’s. '''ICC/PDP is available from second to the third year of graduation which might not be too late but yes it is late. Why waste a year to start idea generation. Idea generation is like growing a plant, it takes years. Presently, students tend to bunk such sessions so before we implement to first year we would like to improve the present scenario.

== '''Improvement on Present ICC/PDP Classes''' ==

·         Creating a Facebook (social media based) page to showcase those students who have benefited from such programs and how their journey started. This would stand as a mode of inspiration and motivation to new comers and those who don’t find its importance. Also, it would act as a virus which could spread cross branches and cross colleges for greater impact. 

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before mid March 2017 and updation would continue thereby.'''''

·         Spreading awareness regarding the importance of ICC/PDP classes.

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before March 2017 by faculties and flash mob's and posters'''''

·         Motivating Students to participate in competitions related to ICC/PDP.

·         A '''Student Body''' (presently the fellows of the said college have agreed to take charge) under guidance of faculties, who would keep a check on the said program. They would monitor that students do attend such sessions, and if they don’t then motivate them to attend these lectures by telling them about its importance.

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before April 2017 in which the student body would be ready and recognised in the college.'''''

·         Motivating students to generate ideas by giving them past examples so that they have a basic sketch of how to climb ladders. This was done recently by a senior of our college who created an application for the college attendance, and yes it did come out good.

 

== '''Improvement on Start-Up Summits''' ==

*Seminars and workshops (TEDx) workshops should be initiated a month before the startup summits so that those who wish to participate in such events have ideas on what to do and how to do since people tend to be blank about the proceedings of such events.'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before July 2017 as orgainising seminars would require mentors and faculties with sponsorships.'''''
*Funding for the same is needed to be generated (which is approved by the CEO of GEI)
*To be held more than once in a year as many students are not able to attend when it takes place a single time a year. This would ensure more participation and yes motivation to do. '''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before August 2017 a Startup Summit shall be conducted.'''''
*Cross branch involvement, as this would ensure that right guidance is provided to beginners and a bigger idea can be brought to life.'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Only post the above mentioned programmes work efficiently.'''''

== '''Future aspects ''<br/> ==

'''''('''Expected Time of Completion : ''Only post the above mentioned programmes work efficiently.)'''''

Once the above plans are running successfully

·         Implementation to first year would take place. As it would be safe to initiate the whole process to first year after it has been improved where it is presently exercising.

·         More faculties would be involved. This would require fewer efforts as they themselves would understand its importance post its success.

= Strategy #4: Ways to Increase Funding for Students =

== <u>Central Problem</u> ==

Though the increase and providing funds lies in the hand of the highest levels of management , still we found the following issues.

*There is no proper channel for the students to follow and gain funds from the concerned authorities.
*Students end up in acquring the wrong notions about funding.
* Lack of motivation from the supporting staff and teachers end up in the project being regarded as a failed idea.

== <u>Walk through the most effective channel</u><br/> ==

*    Redefining the most effective channel to be followed so that the students don't end up in dimissing their ideas.
*    Indulging the faculties and other teachers to support the student and guide them to success.
*    Providing the management with working prototypes so that they have a clearer idea about the upcoming project.

==== Expected time of Completion : Mid May 2017<br/> ====

*

A  managerial body would look into the idea soon and confirm the formation of the club or panel for felicitating the Head Of Departments(HOD's).

*The CEO has shown positive thoughts to impelemt the idea and so with regular updates , the idea would be soon implemented

== <u>Other Smaller initiatives</u> ==

*Increase funding through goverment bodies like MSME and SIDBI.
*Organize fund raisers for personal funding .
*Form a platform where stuffs discarded by one person can be used as a raw material for other's need.
*Allocate annual budget for funding extraordinary ideas.

= Strategy #5: Implimenting Internship cell inside the college =

[[File:IStock-498861460.jpg|frame|center|IStock-498861460.jpg]]Introducing internship cell innside the college which will help the students to get knowledge about the available opportunities near them.

Many graduating students struggle to identify the right career path or find themselves getting lost in the competitive job market. Employers increasingly hire students with internship experience over students who have none. In their survey, NACE found that about 63% of students who completed an internship were offered at least one job after graduation, while only 35% of students who did not complete an internship received at least one job offer. Completing an internship - or several - while you're in school can help you gain an edge on the competition.

With the indroduction of internship cell, students will be given detailed knowledge and guided about the available opportunities. Which will not only add to their resumes but also help in overall development of an individual. Not only will the individual get his skills improved but will also be familier with the atmosphere inside an organisation. Thus making an individual organisation ready.

Roughly 80-90% students haven't been able to find internship even by the end of the 3rd year.Thus there is a need for developing an internship cell inside every campus.

= STRATEGY #6 - UNAWARENESS ABOUT THE ENTERPRERNUSHIP,  GCTII(E CELL)  AND MSME OF OUR COLLEGE =

Enterprernuship can be a solution to the problem of unemployment. But, it is not understood correctly. Many a students are unaware about the fact that their own college is having an e-cell and the one's in the GCTII are working like sheeps in order to conduct a once a year submit.

== Spreading awareness in each and every class through announcemnt<br/> ==
<div>Apart from awareness through facebook pages, announcements regarding this cell and MSME should be done in order to induce one more career option for the students so that they can give their best by investing their time in innovation and startups. '''(Expected time of completion - already done)'''</div>
spreading awareness in campus : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb651RN29kg&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb651RN29kg&feature=youtu.be]

== Conducting workshops and interactive seassions on GCTII ==

Students need to understand that Enterprernuship is the process of converting a vision into reality and not simply the desire of being an Entrepreneur. They should work upon something they are obsessed with and do innovate about that and not random things. These workshops and interactive seassions will give students the knowledge to work effectively and innovatively. '''(Expected time of completion :- By September end)'''

== '''INCREASING SUPPORT TO INCREASE GENERATION OF IDEAS''' ==

[[File:Hariinterview.JPG|thumb]]

Imagine an ideal situation; you have a bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks. Also suppose you are new to using chopsticks. Now if you are in a Chinese/Japanese restaurant then you would surely feel left out and guess what it’s never your fault, you have the bowl of noodles you have chopsticks it’s just that you don’t know the procedure to use it. Similarly, thousands of children all round the world want to generate new ideas “they want to eat (in case of our example) but don’t know how to use the chopsticks or as in our case generate new ideas. In our college two programs run in a similar direction. One is '''ICC'''(Infosys Campus Connect)/'''PDP'''(Personality Development Program) and second is '''Startup Summit’s. '''ICC/PDP is available from second to the third year of graduation which might not be too late but yes it is late. Why waste a year to start idea generation. Idea generation is like growing a plant, it takes years. Presently, students tend to bunk such sessions so before we implement to first year we would like to improve the present scenario.

== '''Improvement on Present ICC/PDP Classes''' ==

·         Creating a Facebook (social media based) page to showcase those students who have benefited from such programs and how their journey started. This would stand as a mode of inspiration and motivation to new comers and those who don’t find its importance. Also, it would act as a virus which could spread cross branches and cross colleges for greater impact. 

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before mid March 2017 and updation would continue thereby.'''''

·         Spreading awareness regarding the importance of ICC/PDP classes.

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before March 2017 by faculties and flash mob's and posters'''''

·         Motivating Students to participate in competitions related to ICC/PDP.

·         A '''Student Body''' (presently the fellows of the said college have agreed to take charge) under guidance of faculties, who would keep a check on the said program. They would monitor that students do attend such sessions, and if they don’t then motivate them to attend these lectures by telling them about its importance.

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before April 2017 in which the student body would be ready and recognised in the college.'''''

·         Motivating students to generate ideas by giving them past examples so that they have a basic sketch of how to climb ladders. This was done recently by a senior of our college who created an application for the college attendance, and yes it did come out good.

 

== '''Improvement on Start-Up Summits''' ==

*Seminars and workshops (TEDx) workshops should be initiated a month before the startup summits so that those who wish to participate in such events have ideas on what to do and how to do since people tend to be blank about the proceedings of such events.'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before July 2017 as orgainising seminars would require mentors and faculties with sponsorships.'''''
*Funding for the same is needed to be generated (which is approved by the CEO of GEI)
*To be held more than once in a year as many students are not able to attend when it takes place a single time a year. This would ensure more participation and yes motivation to do. '''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before August 2017 a Startup Summit shall be conducted.'''''
*Cross branch involvement, as this would ensure that right guidance is provided to beginners and a bigger idea can be brought to life.'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Only post the above mentioned programmes work efficiently.'''''

== '''Future aspects ''<br/> ==

'''''('''Expected Time of Completion : ''Only post the above mentioned programmes work efficiently.)'''''

Once the above plans are running successfully

·         Implementation to first year would take place. As it would be safe to initiate the whole process to first year after it has been improved where it is presently exercising.

·         More faculties would be involved. This would require fewer efforts as they themselves would understand its importance post its success.

= Strategy #4: Ways to Increase Funding for Students =

== <u>Central Problem</u> ==

Though the increase and providing funds lies in the hand of the highest levels of management , still we found the following issues.

*There is no proper channel for the students to follow and gain funds from the concerned authorities.
*Students end up in acquring the wrong notions about funding.
* Lack of motivation from the supporting staff and teachers end up in the project being regarded as a failed idea.

== <u>Walk through the most effective channel</u><br/> ==

*    Redefining the most effective channel to be followed so that the students don't end up in dimissing their ideas.
*    Indulging the faculties and other teachers to support the student and guide them to success.
*    Providing the management with working prototypes so that they have a clearer idea about the upcoming project.

==== Expected time of Completion : Mid May 2017<br/> ====

*

A  managerial body would look into the idea soon and confirm the formation of the club or panel for felicitating the Head Of Departments(HOD's).

*The CEO has shown positive thoughts to impelemt the idea and so with regular updates , the idea would be soon implemented

== <u>Other Smaller initiatives</u> ==

*Increase funding through goverment bodies like MSME and SIDBI.
*Organize fund raisers for personal funding .
*Form a platform where stuffs discarded by one person can be used as a raw material for other's need.
*Allocate annual budget for funding extraordinary ideas.

= Strategy #5: Implimenting Internship cell inside the college =

[[File:IStock-498861460.jpg|frame|center]]Introducing internship cell innside the college which will help the students to get knowledge about the available opportunities near them.

Many graduating students struggle to identify the right career path or find themselves getting lost in the competitive job market. Employers increasingly hire students with internship experience over students who have none. In their survey, NACE found that about 63% of students who completed an internship were offered at least one job after graduation, while only 35% of students who did not complete an internship received at least one job offer. Completing an internship - or several - while you're in school can help you gain an edge on the competition.

With the indroduction of internship cell, students will be given detailed knowledge and guided about the available opportunities. Which will not only add to their resumes but also help in overall development of an individual. Not only will the individual get his skills improved but will also be familier with the atmosphere inside an organisation. Thus making an individual organisation ready.

Roughly 80-90% students haven't been able to find internship even by the end of the 3rd year.Thus there is a need for developing an internship cell inside every campus.

== Spreading awareness in each and every class through announcemnt<br/> ==
<div>Apart from awareness through facebook pages, announcements regarding this cell and MSME should be done in order to induce one more career option for the students so that they can give their best by investing their time in innovation and startups.

== Conducting workshops and interactive seassions on GCTII ==

Students need to understand that Enterprernuship is the process of converting a vision into reality and not simply the desire of being an Entrepreneur. They should work upon something they are obsessed with and do innovate about that and not random things. These workshops and interactive seassions will give students the knowledge to work effectively and innovatively. '''(Expected time of completion :- By September end)'''

Similarly, thousands of children all round the world want to generate new ideas “they want to eat (in case of our example) but don’t know how to use the chopsticks or as in our case generate new ideas. In our college two programs run in a similar direction. One is '''ICC'''(Infosys Campus Connect)/'''PDP'''(Personality Development Program) and second is '''Startup Summit’s. '''ICC/PDP is available from second to the third year of graduation which might not be too late but yes it is late. Why waste a year to start idea generation. Idea generation is like growing a plant, it takes years. Presently, students tend to bunk such sessions so before we implement to first year we would like to improve the present scenario.

== '''Improvement on Present ICC/PDP Classes''' ==

·         Creating a Facebook (social media based) page to showcase those students who have benefited from such programs and how their journey started. This would stand as a mode of inspiration and motivation to new comers and those who don’t find its importance. Also, it would act as a virus which could spread cross branches and cross colleges for greater impact. 

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before mid March 2017 and updation would continue thereby.'''''

·         Spreading awareness regarding the importance of ICC/PDP classes.

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before March 2017 by faculties and flash mob's and posters'''''

·         Motivating Students to participate in competitions related to ICC/PDP.

·         A '''Student Body''' (presently the fellows of the said college have agreed to take charge) under guidance of faculties, who would keep a check on the said program. They would monitor that students do attend such sessions, and if they don’t then motivate them to attend these lectures by telling them about its importance.

'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before April 2017 in which the student body would be ready and recognised in the college.'''''

·         Motivating students to generate ideas by giving them past examples so that they have a basic sketch of how to climb ladders. This was done recently by a senior of our college who created an application for the college attendance, and yes it did come out good.

 

== '''Improvement on Start-Up Summits''' ==

*Seminars and workshops (TEDx) workshops should be initiated a month before the startup summits so that those who wish to participate in such events have ideas on what to do and how to do since people tend to be blank about the proceedings of such events.'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before July 2017 as orgainising seminars would require mentors and faculties with sponsorships.'''''
*Funding for the same is needed to be generated (which is approved by the CEO of GEI)
*To be held more than once in a year as many students are not able to attend when it takes place a single time a year. This would ensure more participation and yes motivation to do. '''Expected Time of Completion : ''Before August 2017 a Startup Summit shall be conducted.'''''
*Cross branch involvement, as this would ensure that right guidance is provided to beginners and a bigger idea can be brought to life.'''Expected Time of Completion : ''Only post the above mentioned programmes work efficiently.'''''

== '''Future aspects ''<br/> ==

'''''('''Expected Time of Completion : ''Only post the above mentioned programmes work efficiently.)'''''

Once the above plans are running successfully

·         Implementation to first year would take place. As it would be safe to initiate the whole process to first year after it has been improved where it is presently exercising.

·         More faculties would be involved. This would require fewer efforts as they themselves would understand its importance post its success.

= Strategy #4: Ways to Increase Funding for Students =

== <u>Central Problem</u> ==

Though the increase and providing funds lies in the hand of the highest levels of management , still we found the following issues.

*There is no proper channel for the students to follow and gain funds from the concerned authorities.
*Students end up in acquring the wrong notions about funding.
* Lack of motivation from the supporting staff and teachers end up in the project being regarded as a failed idea.

== <u>Walk through the most effective channel</u><br/> ==

*    Redefining the most effective channel to be followed so that the students don't end up in dimissing their ideas.
*    Indulging the faculties and other teachers to support the student and guide them to success.
*    Providing the management with working prototypes so that they have a clearer idea about the upcoming project.

==== Expected time of Completion : Mid May 2017<br/> ====

*

A  managerial body would look into the idea soon and confirm the formation of the club or panel for felicitating the Head Of Departments(HOD's).

*The CEO has shown positive thoughts to impelemt the idea and so with regular updates , the idea would be soon implemented

== <u>Other Smaller initiatives</u> ==

*Increase funding through goverment bodies like MSME and SIDBI.
*Organize fund raisers for personal funding .
*Form a platform where stuffs discarded by one person can be used as a raw material for other's need.
*Allocate annual budget for funding extraordinary ideas.

= Strategy #5: Implimenting Internship cell inside the college =

[[File:IStock-498861460.jpg|frame|center|IStock-498861460.jpg]]Introducing internship cell innside the college which will help the students to get knowledge about the available opportunities near them.

Many graduating students struggle to identify the right career path or find themselves getting lost in the competitive job market. Employers increasingly hire students with internship experience over students who have none. In their survey, NACE found that about 63% of students who completed an internship were offered at least one job after graduation, while only 35% of students who did not complete an internship received at least one job offer. Completing an internship - or several - while you're in school can help you gain an edge on the competition.

With the indroduction of internship cell, students will be given detailed knowledge and guided about the available opportunities. Which will not only add to their resumes but also help in overall development of an individual. Not only will the individual get his skills improved but will also be familier with the atmosphere inside an organisation. Thus making an individual organisation ready.

Roughly 80-90% students haven't been able to find internship even by the end of the 3rd year.Thus there is a need for developing an internship cell inside every campus.

== Conducting workshops and interactive seassions on GCTII ==

Students need to understand that Enterprernuship is the process of converting a vision into reality and not simply the desire of being an Entrepreneur. They should work upon something they are obsessed with and do innovate about that and not random things. These workshops and interactive seassions will give students the knowledge to work effectively and innovatively. '''(Expected time of completion :- By September end)'''

= Strategy #1 : Increasing the Contribution of First year Students in College =

[[File:Prototypr.jpg]]

== Awareness and Motivation in Students ==

*Workshop and seminars to be conducted to educate students with respect to the importance of the contribution they might do to their college.  ('''Expected time of initiation''': '''''By April end) '''''
*Volunteering in activities that helps them to interact with seniors. ('''Expected time of completion''': '''''By September end) '''''

*Participation in Club activities. ('''Expected time of completion''': '''''By September end) '''''
*No competition in joining the club, everyone interested to learn should get an opportunity.( ('''Expected time of initiation''': '''''By March end) '''''

= Strategy #2: Changing the ecosystem to a more innovation encouraging environment =
<div>In transitioning from school life to college life, students loose their vision of achieving something great, that is beyond classrooms. A subject focused life takes away their ability and interests of innovating, developing and creative thinking. </div><div><br/></div>
== '''Attendance issue with the students''' ==
<div><br/></div><div>Apart from awareness problem we realized innovating young minds have to compromise a lot with their attendance in order to bloom their flower of idea, have to arrange for their resources (which is way too much than the actual time it should take), and mostly end up coming back to where they were initially, this time swearing not to think again in this direction, instead focussing in the academia in college (lack of failure accepting mindset at a very initial stage in innovation).</div><div><br/></div><div>So working in this direction, we thought of addressing the attendance problem of the students where-</div>
*would be allowed to work over their innovation during weekends in labs'''(Expected time of completion''': '''''By March end) '''''

*Students lab hours would be increased so that they can access labs after 5pm (in the evening) as well ''' (Expected time of completion''': '''''By March end) '''''

<div>Addressing attendance issue helps the students by providing time in the college. This is a very basic step addressing the problem of the few students that have ideas that need to be prototyped or experimented. Apart from that innovation can be initiated in college by making students realize its importance.</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>

'''(Expected to be completed by June)'''

<br/>'''[[File:Galgotias 01.JPG]]            '''
</div>
== '''Workshops for Teachers'''<br/> ==

*'''Workshops for Teachers/all Faculty members''' as on how to connect with students, and rather that only demanding marks and then judging students solely based on academic performance. Equal weightage should be given to the creative mindset and the effort a student puts into brining the idea/entrepreneurship skill into action. '''(Expected to be completed by December)'''

== '''Innovation Enouragement Task (IET)'''<br/> ==

*A monitoring team consisting of an elected student and a professor in the mid 30’s to develop a monthly report on '''innovation encouragement task (IET)''' and hence providing their feedback to the respective subjects of this program, to fill the gaps. ''(professor in mid 30’s as He/She will be having enough experience in the field for such evaluation, and won’t lacking that spark to achieve something He/She was a student not soo long ago. )  '''''(Expected to be completed by December)'''

== '''Inspirational Talks'''   ==

*Playing inspirational videos every week without prior notice, so that students continue into processing their energy to an innovative and focused learning. Also organizing '''inspirational talks''' by successful startup leaders about their journey, and what all is waiting for the students in the world beyond campus boundaries. '''(Expected to be completed by April)'''

= Impact Achieved For Students and Campus =

SRISTI (Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions), which means creation in Sanskrit, was born in 1993 as a result of the felt need for an institutional support to the activities of the Honey Bee Network.

SRISTI was set up to provide organizational, intellectual and logistics support to the Honey Bee Network. The primary objectives while setting up the organization were: systematically documenting, disseminating and developing grassroots green innovations, providing intellectual property rights protection to grassroots innovators, working on the in situ and ex situ conservation of local biodiversity, and providing venture support to grassroots innovators. SRISTI manages the Honey Bee database of innovations, and supports the publication of the Network's newsletter in three languages, English, Hindi and Gujarati. <br/><br/>Lately SRISTI has being focusing on more concerted ways of hitherto neglected domains like women's knowledge systems, value addition through a natural product laboratory, using ICT to establish knowledge network, connecting innovators, traditional knowledge holders with the centres of formal excellence, entrepreneurs etc and innovations in education.[[File:Sristi Logo.jpg]]

= Notes About How This Resource is Deployed =

SRISTI has been able to upgrade its standing and legitimacy among the policy makers, intellectuals and grassroots innovators alike and at the root of such wide acceptance lies in the activities of the organization. Following are the major activities of the organization.

·       Scouting, Documentation & Dissemination: The activity focuses upon scouting and documenting unique grassroots innovations and traditional practices from various parts the country and sharing the learning from such innovations and practices with the wider audience. 

·       Validation and Value Addition: The activities aim at developing the herbal formulations derived from the grassroots practices into viable, user-friendly and marketable products through proper research and development.

·       Policy Analysis & Advocacy: The activities aim at bringing about policy level changes and incorporating more favourable policy regimes for the promotion of grassroots innovations and practices.

·       Campaigning and Awareness Building: The activities focus upon generating awareness and building public opinion about grassroots innovations and traditional practices, organic farming etc. 

·       AASTIIK: It aims at creating a virtual and real knowledge community of professionals and experts in the field of invention, innovation and traditional knowledge.

·       The Educational Initiatives: The activities aim at scouting, documenting, encouraging and supporting innovative means of teaching children about the subjects and building awareness about the rich bio-diversity around them.

·       ICT initiatives: The activities focus upon integrating the services of information and communication technology with the concern of building the knowledge network to connect grassroots innovators and traditional practitioners across the boundary of region, language and culture. 

·       Natural Resource Management: The activities focus upon validating and initiating innovative means of conservation of nature and bio-diversity.

·       Grassroot Innovations for Inclusive Development (GRIID PROJECT) :<br/>- Understanding factors for the emergence, existence and successful functioning of GRIs within the NIS Study <br/>- Institutional environment for promoting GRI<br/>- Capacity building of individual and institutional actors for upscaling and promoting GRI

= Steps Required To Bring Resource to Campus =

The students can connect with SRISTI directly via the Honey Bee Network. The network allows them to access the latest innovations made by the organisation. It also allows them to critique the cross stream innovations made by the organisation. 

SRISTI (Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions) set up in 1993 to support and strengthen the Honey Bee Network - a voluntary informal network of creative people, policy makers, scientists, NGOs and other professionals interested in augmenting grassroots innovations. The Honey Bee Network tries to:

#Provide a peer groups of farmers, artisans, scientists, academics across language, culture and regional boundaries to nurture, critique and encourage innovative experimentation.
#Break the nexus between the regions of high biodiversity and high poverty endowed with poor public as well as private infrastructure.
#Provide access to information that can help improve productivity without increasing cost using other farmers' innovations. Most of the grassroots innovators do not have access to relevant information, which cripples their ability to raise resources and explore opportunities in different markets. Thus poor demand of ecological and technological skill as well as their eco- friendly products forces them to become "unskilled labourers" in the urban houses and markets; galvanize existing institutions and community structures to inspire and sustain the curiosity and spirit of younger generation to pursue the path of experimentation and excellence in local eco-enterprises and natural resource management.
#Resolve an ethical dilemma about sharing and protecting traditional as well as contemporary knowledge of individuals and communities evolved through conscious efforts but guided by different value systems without keeping people poor. The fact that we have not found many young healers indicates that younger generation does not find the career of healer or herbalist worth pursuing when it entails a life of penury though with a lot of goodwill in the community.

SRISTI (Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions), which means creation in Sanskrit, was born in 1993 as a result of the felt need for an institutional support to the activities of the Honey Bee Network.

SRISTI was set up to provide organizational, intellectual and logistics support to the Honey Bee Network. The primary objectives while setting up the organization were: systematically documenting, disseminating and developing grassroots green innovations, providing intellectual property rights protection to grassroots innovators, working on the in situ and ex situ conservation of local biodiversity, and providing venture support to grassroots innovators. SRISTI manages the Honey Bee database of innovations, and supports the publication of the Network's newsletter in three languages, English, Hindi and Gujarati. <br/><br/>Lately SRISTI has being focusing on more concerted ways of hitherto neglected domains like women's knowledge systems, value addition through a natural product laboratory, using ICT to establish knowledge network, connecting innovators, traditional knowledge holders with the centres of formal excellence, entrepreneurs etc and innovations in education.[[File:Sristi Logo.jpg]]

= Notes About How This Resource is Deployed =

SRISTI has been able to upgrade its standing and legitimacy among the policy makers, intellectuals and grassroots innovators alike and at the root of such wide acceptance lies in the activities of the organization. Following are the major activities of the organization.

·       Scouting, Documentation & Dissemination: The activity focuses upon scouting and documenting unique grassroots innovations and traditional practices from various parts the country and sharing the learning from such innovations and practices with the wider audience. 

·       Validation and Value Addition: The activities aim at developing the herbal formulations derived from the grassroots practices into viable, user-friendly and marketable products through proper research and development.

·       Policy Analysis & Advocacy: The activities aim at bringing about policy level changes and incorporating more favourable policy regimes for the promotion of grassroots innovations and practices.

·       Campaigning and Awareness Building: The activities focus upon generating awareness and building public opinion about grassroots innovations and traditional practices, organic farming etc. 

·       AASTIIK: It aims at creating a virtual and real knowledge community of professionals and experts in the field of invention, innovation and traditional knowledge.

·       The Educational Initiatives: The activities aim at scouting, documenting, encouraging and supporting innovative means of teaching children about the subjects and building awareness about the rich bio-diversity around them.

·       ICT initiatives: The activities focus upon integrating the services of information and communication technology with the concern of building the knowledge network to connect grassroots innovators and traditional practitioners across the boundary of region, language and culture. 

·       Natural Resource Management: The activities focus upon validating and initiating innovative means of conservation of nature and bio-diversity.

·       Grassroot Innovations for Inclusive Development (GRIID PROJECT) :<br/>- Understanding factors for the emergence, existence and successful functioning of GRIs within the NIS Study <br/>- Institutional environment for promoting GRI<br/>- Capacity building of individual and institutional actors for upscaling and promoting GRI

= Steps Required To Bring Resource to Campus =

SRISTI (Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions) set up in 1993 to support and strengthen the Honey Bee Network - a voluntary informal network of creative people, policy makers, scientists, NGOs and other professionals interested in augmenting grassroots innovations. The Honey Bee Network tries to:

#Provide a peer groups of farmers, artisans, scientists, academics across language, culture and regional boundaries to nurture, critique and encourage innovative experimentation.
#Break the nexus between the regions of high biodiversity and high poverty endowed with poor public as well as private infrastructure.
#Provide access to information that can help improve productivity without increasing cost using other farmers' innovations. Most of the grassroots innovators do not have access to relevant information, which cripples their ability to raise resources and explore opportunities in different markets. Thus poor demand of ecological and technological skill as well as their eco- friendly products forces them to become "unskilled labourers" in the urban houses and markets; galvanize existing institutions and community structures to inspire and sustain the curiosity and spirit of younger generation to pursue the path of experimentation and excellence in local eco-enterprises and natural resource management.
#Resolve an ethical dilemma about sharing and protecting traditional as well as contemporary knowledge of individuals and communities evolved through conscious efforts but guided by different value systems without keeping people poor. The fact that we have not found many young healers indicates that younger generation does not find the career of healer or herbalist worth pursuing when it entails a life of penury though with a lot of goodwill in the community.
