CII seminar on ‘Innovation in Science & technology’
by Jo BlackIf India has to progress at 10% growth rate, we have to find solutions for our citizens with the help of technological and innovative ideas.
The last few decades of world growth have largely been technologically driven.
Invention becomes innovation when a new technology leads to successful commercial concept, said Mr Adi Godrej, Chairman, Godrej Group and Chief Guest while speaking on ‘Innovation in Science & technology’ at the 2nd Symposium of University-Industry Council organized by Confederation of Indian Industry with IIT - Bombay in Mumbai.
Low endowments, universities not being learning organizations and lack of competition amongst the universities are the challenges.
The time has come to make universities globally competitive by having more privatization in education, said Prof. Indiresan.
“Similarly industries have to learn how to work with new and original ideas. From the capital driven growth Indian industries have entered the phase of technological led growth. If they aspire for long term leadership and sustained growth they require technology development driven growth. All these issues can be solved successfully if a marriage between industry and universities take place. In addition it would lead to protection of the universities by industries from external controls on them,” stressed the Speaker.
Mr C Banerjee, Director General, CII, initiated the entire programme through his welcome address.
He emphasized the importance of building linkages between university and industry by focusing on increasing interaction between the two pillars of the society.
CII during the last few years has taken a conscious decision to push for quality, innovation and skill for working towards CII’s vision of India@75.
For this vision to be realized, partnership between universities and industry is crucial.
Therefore CII is committed to take forward the university - industry council and the actions resulting from it, said Mr Banerjee.
Eminent speakers from the industry and academia addressed the audience on topics ranging from ‘Cross Disciplinary Areas and Impact on Nation’; ‘Design, IPR, Human Resource Development’ and case studies in ‘industry academia collaboration- engineering, science and management & humanities’ to case studies from North East.
There was also a panel discussion on what needs to be done by the industry, academia and government.
The CII Programme thus recognizing the importance of universities and industries in the development of India brought together participants from both the spheres and presented an opportunity for the two to interact, understand each other’s requirements and evolve together.
