AWARDS FOR INNOVATION
Category – 1: Awards for Innovative Ideas
Category – 2: Awards for Successful Innovative Proven Concepts / Projects / Prototypes
INTRODUCTION
Eradication of poverty, improving quality of life, achieving the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), enhancement of employment opportunities and higher growth are priority objectives for the
State. Among others, innovation and technology have an important role in overcoming limitations of
resources, optimal utilization of resources, and in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of
implementation of programmes.
Innovation is not only about developing new technology or product but also includes a business
model, service, process, structure or system which has value for the business, industry and society.
Hence, innovation can be applied to any sector, discipline, or technology or any process, structure
and business model in any organisation to bring about change for adding value to mankind. Keeping
in view the myriad problems and high potential of adding value in various socio-economic sectors in
the State to address the development concerns of large population, there is a need for innovation
and technology application for inclusive development and growth.
Innovation plays an important role in national development & socio-economic growth. It is a
powerful engine for development and for addressing socio-economic challenges. And it holds the
key, both in advanced & emerging economies, to employment generation and enhanced productivity
growth through knowledge creation and its subsequent application and diffusion. There is a need to
recognize the importance of building knowledge based, innovating and more economically
diversified societies.
The Innovation Policy 2013 aims to produce and nurture talent in science, to stimulate research
in our universities, to develop young leaders in science, to reward performance, to create a policy
environment for greater private sector participation in research and innovation and to forge
international alliances and collaborations to meet national agenda. Innovation is needed in areas like
agriculture, telecommunications, energy, water management, health and drug discovery, materials,
environment and climate variability and change. It requires inter-disciplinary research, including
traditional knowledge.
India has a long tradition of innovation and a significant pool of qualified people, both within
country as well as the diaspora, presently engaged in innovative activities. This talent pool has to be
leveraged to drive the innovation agenda. Further, there is also a need to capture the multiple
innovations happening in various domains such as Government, R&D labs, Universities, and across
sectors, to give an impetus to the innovation process in the country.
Science and Technology has made rapid progress in providing solutions for various problems
facing the mankind. There have been numerous innovative applications of technology in various
spheres, still there are many areas that are unexplored, or, are the results of human activities like
degradation of environment resulting into health problems where science & technology can play
important role.
To be specific, with never ending quest, technology can be applied for finding innovative
solutions for various problems in agriculture, developing new methods of manufacturing products,
developing new materials for various applications in equipments, appliances and so on. Similarly,
technologies can help in finding ways to handle household and industrial wastes.
The new Science and Technology policy emphasizes innovation. In the 100th Indian Science
Congress, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India unveiled the Science, Technology and Innovation Policy
(STI 2013). This is the launching pad for development. Country hopes to shape its future. We are
presently passing this’ the ‘Decade of Innovation’ (2010-20). The Government has stressed the need
to enunciate a policy to synergize science, technology and innovation and has also established the
National Innovation Council (NInC). The STI Policy 2013 is in furtherance of these pronouncements.

It aims to bring fresh perspectives to bear on innovation in the Indian context. R & D is an integral
component for growth of the Nation and no progress is conceivable without innovation. India has to
find herself in the top five global scientific powers by the end of this decade. For this dream to come
true, talent must be spotted and nurtured so as to find a way for sustainable and equitable
development. R & D and innovation are the need of the day.
No doubt, there is a progress from the knowledge-based economy to the knowledge-driven
economy, emphasizing the fact that the current contribution of knowledge is very much as the
dynamo of the economy, the knowledge-driven economy affects the innovation process and the
approach to innovation. The traditional idea that innovation is based upon research (technology-
push theory) and interaction between firms and other sectors is replaced by the current social
network theory of innovation, where knowledge plays a crucial role in fostering innovation.
RECOGNIZING TALENTS FOR INNOVATION
In order to promote innovation, there is a need to encourage students, researchers, educational
institutes, entrepreneurs and citizens for finding innovative solutions for local problems in the areas
of Agriculture, Engineering and design, Biotechnology, Health, Sanitation, Rural and Urban
Development, New materials and Nanotechnology, ICT (Hardware & Software), Renewable Energy,
Environmental Management, Handloom and Handicraft, Judiciary, e-Governance, Community
Policing, Government, Management tool or model, etc.
Odisha has talented students, researchers, and entrepreneurs. When properly groomed and
provided with conducive conditions, there are good prospects for their success. “Catch them
young” is the adage we have to resort to. A word of praise, or a gesture of recognition, will work
wonders in elevating the spirits of our students and innovators. Students of Secondary, Higher
Secondary, Undergraduate and Postgraduate Classes would make the right target for searching the
talent in the State. This will be a small but significant step in achieving the goal – ‘the goal of
prosperity’. To spread scientific temper and enhancing skills among the young and making career in
scientific research and innovations, it is required to introduce innovative awards for the students,
researchers, entrepreneurs and other innovators in various socio-economic field to encourage and
inspire them.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of Awards for Innovation is:
(i) To promote new ideas
(ii) To promote Innovative proven concept / prototype, which have been tested
