The National Innovation Council aims to have around 50
innovation clusters covering the entire country by the end of 2012 to help out
the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises, chairman Sam Pitroda said on Wednesday.
"We plan to finish pilot, learn from it and then take this project to 50
clusters. I would like to see 40-50 clusters doing such innovations by the end
of 2012. Ideally, we would want 150 clusters in India to have innovation centre
by the end of next year," Pitroda said, giving an update on the Innovation
Cluster initiative launched in November 2011. The Indian government has
declared 2010-2020 as the "Decade of Innovation". The cluster
initiative aims to facilitate creation of ecosystems that will enable
generation of new products, services, processes and business models, spurring
job creation and inclusive growth. In both developed and developing countries,
MSMEs and start-ups are viewed as major engines of growth and employment. In
2010-11, Indian MSMEs represented 45 per cent of manufactured output and 40 per
cent of exports. India is estimated to have 5,000 regional MSME clusters that
include the gems cluster in Surat (Gujarat), brassware cluster in Moradabad
(UP) and textile cluster at Tirupur (Tamil Nadu).
But most Micro Small and Medium Enterprises clusters in India
suffer from lack of access to technology, research and development, financing
and skills which in turn impact their growth and productivity. National
Innovation Council aims to create models for transforming regional MSME
clusters into innovation ecosystems with collaborative partnerships among
stakeholders. Mr.Samir Mitra, a senior expert at National Innovation Council,
said the Cluster Innovation Centers (CICs) acting as networking hubs for
innovation ecosystems are being created in eight clusters. In many instances,
interactions between industry, research and development, academia and others
had happened for the first time within the cluster. The National Innovation
Council has partnered with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research
(CSIR), Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Ltd (ILFS), Foundation of
Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Clusters (FMC), Tata Management Training
Center (TMTC) and industry lobbies CII and FICCI for the 6-month pilot phase of
this initiative which started in November 2011.
