From 30 to 3000 years walk: Do we need to recalibrate the compass?
Abstract:
Getting an award at the hands of the President of India does make an important statement, that innovation matters, country cares and the Honey Bee Network nurtures. The Network scouts and shares a large number of innovations to foster an empathetic innovation ecosystem. But is that enough? Will that sustain the hopes of creative people well enough to take their ideas forward? After all, out of say 30-40,000 thousand entries received in every biennial competition, we recognize hardly 60-70 technological and herbal innovations and traditonal knowledge practices once in two years. At this rate, we are raising a storm of expectations without a cogent pathway for sustaining the generosity of rest of the knowledge providers.
