Summary:
A majority of newspapers/magazines do not have even a six-inch daily column for grassroots innovation in education, technology, culture and institutions.

A national mission is needed to bring dynamism, impatience and eagerness to deliver solutions either lying on the shelves or in the farms or workshops of grassroots innovators. Innovators such as Sandeep have been brought together by the National Innovation Foundation (NIF) from all over the country at the 10th biennial Grassroots Innovation and Outstanding Traditional Knowledge Award function at Grambharati..
