It is being seen as a means of creating sustainable and cost
effective solutions and viewed as an important strategy for
inclusive growth of the country.
– A strong innovation eco-system is critical for creating an
innovation society. An innovative eco-system must facilitate the
birth of new ideas and also provide platforms for the successful
implementation of these ideas.

ABOUT
NATIONAL INNOVATION COUNCIL
• Realizing that innovation is the engine for the growth of
prosperity and national competitiveness in the 21st century, the
President of India has declared 2010-2020 as the ‘Decade of
Innovation’.
• To take this agenda forward, the Office of Adviser to the PM on
Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations (PIII) is working
on developing a national strategy on innovation with a focus on
an Indian model of inclusive growth.
• Towards this end, the Prime Minister has approved the setting up
of a National Innovation Council (NIC) to discuss, analyze and
help implement strategies for inclusive innovation in India and
prepare a Roadmap for Innovation 2010-2020.
• NIC would be the first step in creating a crosscutting system
which will provide mutually reinforcing policies, recommendations
and methodologies to implement and boost innovation
performance in the country.
