The state of Sikkim, country's first organic state, is very rich in biodiversity and associated knowledge. Though traditional knowledge has been documented from the state, focus on grassroots innovations has not been much in the state. The Department and NIF have had a long association and have worked together on many occasions. Understanding the potential of grassroots innovations, the Department believes if systematic scouting and documentation of grassroots innovations from the state of Sikkim is undertaken, not only it will help unearth and promote local ingenuity but also may result in establishment of grassroots enterprises. NIF has had a long experience in promotion of grassroots innovations and valorisation of outstanding traditional knowledge and a partnership between the two institutions is expected to benefit the people of Sikkim.
Since NIF already has a pool of a number of grassroots innovations, it is requested NIF to provide to the Department, innovations that could be included in a proposed Innovation Demonstration cum Training Centre so that people can visit, see and even get trained on the available innovations.
The state of Sikkim with focus on district(s) enlisted in Inspirational district list of NITI Aayog. The Innovation Demonstration cum Training Centre (proposed) will be setup in Gangtok
The following activities will be undertaken :
