  1. Honey Bee Network Committing to three basic principles: What ever is learned from people must be shared back with them in their language and in the manner that they can understand The innovators should not become anonymous, their identity must be acknowledged and given due recognition, respect and reward If any income, wealth or monetary incentive is generated through diffusion of innovation or any other activity related to it, a fair part must be shared back with knowledge and insight provider

  2. Honey Bee Network SRISTI: SRISTI (Society for Research & Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies & Institutions) was set up in 1993 to provide organizational support to Honey Bee network. Objectives are: 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 associated traditional and contemporary knowledge systems, building database of technological, educational and institutional (particularly indigenous common property resource institutions) innovations, and providing venture support to grassroots innovators.

  3. Honey Bee Network Value Addition & Incubation Support: •  In year March 2000, Government of India, recognized the efforts of Honey Bee Network and helped setting up National Innovation Foundation (www.nifindia.org). • NIF intends to upscale the model across the country and help set up GIANs for Venture assistance. • GIAN Gujarat (now GIAN-West) ( www.gian.org ) was set up in 1997 as an incubator for grassroots green innovations, NIF is setting up more GIANs across the country for Valorization of innovations. As of now three new Incubators have been set up GIAN-North East, GIAN-North & GIAN-South

  4. Honey Bee Network ……Value Addition continued… Sadbhav SRISTI SANSHODHAN Laboratory for value addition in Indigenous Knowledge & developing Natural Products: Trial of medicinal formulations based on pooling of best practices to generate new products.

  5. National Innovation Foundation: Honey Bee Network Institutionalizing Innovative culture in India The Indian Governments Union Budget of 1999 included the announcement for setting up of the National Innovation Foundation (NIF). The purpose was to build National register of inventions and innovations and outstanding traditional knowledge, support value addition research by scientists as well as innovators at grassroots level, setting up incubators to convert innovations into products and enterprises and eventually make India a global leader in sustainable technologies. NIF was set up by Department of Science and Technology in March 2000 at Ahmedabad to achieve its goals essentially through a non-governmental spirit and by drawing upon the Honey Bee network and its collaborating partners.

  6. National Innovation Foundation: Honey Bee Network Institutionalizing Innovative culture in India • Objectives of NIF: • To help India become an innovative and creative society and a global leader in sustainable technologies by scouting, spawning and sustaining grassroots innovations. • To ensure evolution and diffusion of green grassroots innovations in a selective, time-bound and mission-oriented basis so as to meet the socio-economic and environmental needs of our society. • To provide institutional support in scouting, spawning, sustaining, and scaling up grassroots green innovations as well as outstanding traditional knowledge and helping their transition to self-supporting activities. It seeks self-reliance through competitive advantage of innovation-based enterprises and/or application of people-generated sustainable technologies at grassroots level. NIF would be helping set up GIANs for providing incubation and venture development support.

  7. National Innovation Foundation: Honey Bee Network Institutionalizing Innovative culture in India • Objectives continued: • To build linkages between excellence in formal scientific systems and informal knowledge systems and create a knowledge network to link various stakeholders through application of information technology and other means. • To promote wider social awareness, and possible applications, of the know how generated as a result of these initiatives in commercial or social spheres and encourage its incorporation in educational curriculum, developmental policies and programs.

  8. National Innovation Foundation: Honey Bee Network Institutionalizing Innovative culture in India • Activities: • National Annual campaign for Scouting Grassroots unaided technological innovations & Outstanding Traditional Knowledge • [First competition 946 entries/1640, Second 900 entries/15000 innovations & TK, approximately] • Building National Register of Grassroots Technological Innovations & Outstanding Traditional Knowledge • Networking for value Addition with various institutions and organisations • Building a Micro Venture & Innovation Incubation Fund

  9. National Innovation Foundation: Honey Bee Network Institutionalizing Innovative culture in India National Annual campaign for Scouting Grassroots unaided technological innovations & Outstanding Traditional Knowledge: Second Competition Awards Distribution Ceremony President of India, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, gave prices for the winners of the second competition in November 2002, New Delhi.

  10. Honey Bee Network GIAN: • Grassroots Innovations Augmentation Networks (GIANs) have been established with the primary objective to link up innovations, investment and enterprise. The transition of an innovation into product and later into enterprise requires input of formal science & technology, design, handholding support for project planning and management, finance and marketing intelligence. Four GIANs namely the GIAN-West, GIAN-North, GIAN-South and GIAN-NE provide support for grassroots innovations/traditional knowledge of the respective regions.
