Executive Summary

ZTM & BPD unit IARI is mandated to accelerate the collaborated development and

application of agricultural innovations between public research organizations, NGOs, farmers,

private sector industries and other stakeholders. The Unit acts as a bridge between the laboratory

and farm for spreading the novel technologies to industries and to correlate the agriculture sector

towards socio-economic progress in India. The Unit converts innovative research ideas into

sound commercial ventures. ZTM & BPD unit and envisions business policy plan along with

developing models for technologies commercialization as well as technology incubators. The

Unit, through its dedicated efforts, has been successfulin creating valuable relationships with

different sections of the societies. With the unit‟s focused efforts, the institute has been able to

successfully transfer technologies to responsible companies thereby making inventions available

to end users.Furthermore, to achieve the objective 20 meetings and 24 EDPs and three events

were organizedduring the last five yearsto develop strong linkages with business networks,

chambers of commerce and government organizations to promotetechnologies for

commercialization.

The Unit is actively engaged in the process of protection of Intellectual Property Rights

(IPRs) on the technologies generated by the Research team of IARI. The process has been

streamlined, which includes IP disclosure form alongwith inventers‟ interviews to fasten the

process. It is pertinent here to mention that 21 Patent applications have been filed over the last

five years (2009-14) by IARI, whereas, six patents filed by IARI, have been granted to ICAR.

The patent protected technologies include agricultural chemicals and Microbes based bio-

formulations such as biopesticides, biofertilizers, post-harvest technologies and extraction

technologies. The plant varieties developed at the PUSA institute by the divisions of Genetics,

Floriculture and landscaping and Vegetable science have become very popular with the farmers

and seed companies. The unit is protecting the same under the Protection of Plant Varieties and

Farmers Right Act 2001 (PPVFRA). A total of 41 applications have been filed for protecting

wheat, rice, vegetable and flower varieties developed by the Institute. In the year 2011, IARI

filed Copyrights for two works namely ResourCeS- A Regional Resource Characterizing System

and USAR- An EIA Tool for managing salt affected agricultural lands and irrigation waters. This

type of protection needs the active consideration of scientists and researchers of National

Agriculture Research System. The copyrights have been granted in 2012-13. IARI is selling its

2

seeds and other products under the brand name “PUSA”. In 2005, IARI got trademark

registration for PUSA as label. Since the word „PUSA‟ was being used more frequently as a

trade mark, so a need was felt to register word „PUSA” as a word mark. Accordingly, ZTM &

BPD unit has filed the trademark application for the protection of “PUSA” as word mark in eight

different classes.

Innovative marketing played an important role in transfer of technologies through public

private partnership (PPP) to reach fields and farmers. To fill the gap between the industries and

inventor, the traditional marketing process has been streamlined and three new forms have been

introduced, i.e. client information form, technology transfer certificate, standard format for start

up, royalty form.. Marketing process included personal contacts, business to business (B2B)

meetings, cold calls, mass mailing, maintenance of industry database collected from various

events and exhibitions, specific contacts, websites, MoU standard template format and standard

format to obtain information from inventors. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that 31 seeds,

14 bio-fertilizers, 7 agriculture chemicals, 20 post harvesting technologies (PHT), 8 agriculture

engineering and 6 others were commercialized during the period 2009-10. Moreover, total

revenue generated through technologies commercialization is Rs. 30974360 with 118 licensees

during 2009-10 to 2013-14. It is not fatuous that in the last year (2013-14) the miracle

achievement and revenue generated through commercialized technologies is Rs.1,99,17,360. It is

worth noting that 42 per cent and 31 per cent revenue is generated through seeds and agricultural

chemical technologies respectively, furthermore, significant and equal share is recorded for bio-

fertilizers, post harvesting technology, agricultural engineering and other during the whole

period (2009-14). Total number of corporate members and renewed members is 424 and 202

respectively and total revenue generated amounts to Rs.18,69,500. With the objective of

addressing industry needs, collaborative research programme and consultancy is being provided

to the companies on day-to-day procedures and for expert opinion. The total number of

collaborative research/consultancy is 54 and revenue generation is Rs.4,67,87,089during 2009-

14. For capacity building of budding entrepreneurs‟ new start-ups and skill development training

for employees of established organizations, 24 Entrepreneurs Development Programmes (EDPs)

were organized by the unit in last five years (2009-14) and the revenue generated was Rs. 13.92

lakh. In a nutshell, the share of different events and activities is 0.6, 1.7, 2.3, 38.0 and 57.4 of

rentals infrastructure, EDPs, Corporate research, technologies commercialization and contract

research/consultancy respectively.

A seed producer company “beejIndia Producers Company Limited” has been formed and

is being nurtured by Zonal Technology Management & Business Planning and Development

(ZTM & BPD) Unit. The impetus behind the formation of a seed producers‟ company is to

empower farmers and capacity building of farmers by training them in quality seed production,

processing, storing and marketing so that they can meet not only their own seed demand as well

as that of their fellow farmers. The farmer groups based at Hapur and Bulandshahar districts of

Uttar Pradesh and Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan are actively involved in this endeavour. The

benefits attached to members of the producer company include- entrepreneurial development of

farmers in maintenance of quality seed of major crops; linkage to market for professional

marketing of the produce; cooperative benefits such as revolving funds, shared maintenance

costs; development of community based public infrastructure for storage and processing; and the

establishment of a data bank and information system for facilitating faster flow of information on

the availability of seeds.

Our state-of-the-art infrastructure facility designed to international standards,

includesReception and Lobby Area, Administrative Block, Training Hall, Conference room,

Library-cum-Meeting, and separate incubation space which can accommodate minimum of 10

incubatees, The Core Facilities contribute significantly to internal and external training courses

and workshops, often in collaboration with industrial partners, farmers, NGOs and Research

Institute. Moreover, institutions/industrial member and individuals frequently seek our advice

and guidance in setting up their own core facilities and services to enhance the efficiency and

effectiveness of their laboratory. The core facilities include Plant Tissue culture laboratory,

Transgenic Facility, Biotechnology Laboratory, Microbiology Laboratory and Post Harvest

Technology Laboratory.

During the project period, ZTM & BPD unit has licensed 87 agricultural technologies. Out of

those, 71 seed varieties were commercialized like wheat variety HD 2967, HI 1544 HI1563, Rice

variety PRH10, PB1509, Maize variety PHEEM5, several vegetable and flower varieties to seed

companies. Under these licensing agreements, the breeder seed, and parental lines of the hybrid

has been given to seed companies. These seed companies under took the seed multiplication

programme of these varieties. They further took processing, packaging and marketing of the seed

among the farmers. During this entire chain of the seed production and value addition till end

users, each activity generated the employment for different stakeholders besides providing the

sumptuous income to farmers. In this way these activities of ZTM & BPD unit created additional

4

direct employment of approx. for 500 people associated with seed business production and

supply chain. Thus taking into account these assumptions, it is estimated that the unit was able to

provide directly and indirectly employment to 35500 people. Moreover, the new seed

technologies would increase the productivity of farmers and raise the income and prosperity of

farmers. The commercialization of ten biofertilizer technologies have led to generating direct

employment for approx. 2500 individuals. Simultaneously, the licensing of these technologies

have helped in faster dissemination of these technologies, gave new impetus to the industry by

giving them innovative technologies. At the same time at least around 30,000 farmers have

benefitted by getting the quality inputs. Similarly in case of commercialization of post harvest

technology, around 250 people per technology would get employment when PHT related product

comes into the market. Due to commercialization of eight PHT technologies, employment

opportunities were generated for approx. 2,000 people. In Agriculture Engineering area the unit

has commercialized 14 technologies. Productions of these farm equipments require the new

establishment along with the marketing channel. These activities create around employment for

approx. 250 people per technology. So, commercialization of 14 Technologies created the

employment for around 3500 people. 24 EDPs were organized and bestow business training to

283 participants by unit in last five year (2009-14). Further we assumed that minimum 50 men

got the ideas for start business from single resources person. On the basis of tentative result,

14150 men attained direct benefit from 283 resources persons. For resources generation unit

organized workshops time to time and developed the skill of 236 participants. Furthermore, for

the calculation of indirect employment we multiplied with the average of 10 men per person for

other activities and 4460 men got benefited from workshops and field participant. Thus the unit

has contributed towards the creation of an enterprise culture in the country.

ZTM & BPD Unit was honored with Best Agribusiness Incubator Award at the “2nd

Global Agribusiness Incubation Conference – NIABI, 2012 by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Former

President of India.ZTM & BPD Unit was awarded for commercialization of an NAIP

technology. Zonal Technology Management & Business Planning and Development Unit, IARI,

New Delhi has commercialized Twenty Seven (27) technologies, worth Rupees more than One

Crore in the first quarter of Financial Year 2013-14.

Introduction

India as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is obliged to comply with the

Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement). This

requires that member countries provide for intellectual property rights (IPRs) in one form or the

other in all fields of technology, including agriculture. ICAR recognizes that research in frontier

sciences, such as agro-biotechnology will require intellectual property (IP) protection through

patents, plant variety protection and other forms of IPR. Public private partnerships will play an

increasing role in the advancement of agricultural research under the IPR regime. The transfer of

IPR enabled agricultural technologies through commercial route will gain greater importance in

the future.

The three tier IP Management mechanism implemented in ICAR provides the required

mechanism for bringing commercial ethos in transfer of skills and products. Thus while the

individual institutes are empowered to achieve the desired goals, the middle tier of five Zonal

technology Management & Business planning and development units has the responsibility to

cater to the individual and collective needs of various ICAR institutes in its catchment. The

Zonal Institutes were thus entrusted the task of working out the best fit strategies on issues

related to technology prioritization, license, agreement drafting, valuation, marketing and

commercialization.

The North Zone unit is located at Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), a premier

institute of ICAR, hailed as the seat of Green revolution in India.The institute is now focusing on

creating an ever-green revolution through new developments and inventions in technologies

aimed at crop improvement, crop protection, natural resource conservation along with

machinery-based technologies, post-harvest technologies, biotechnologies or other related

technologies. “Zonal Technology Management and Business Planning and Development (ZTM

& BPD) Unit at IARI”- was established in 2009 under National Agriculture Innovation Project

(NAIP) funded by World Bank. It is a unique business model devised to utilize the strength and

innovative potential of IARI and twenty other associated ICAR institutions located in Indo-

Gangetic region (the Indian Grain basket), for the benefit of society through commercialization

of agricultural technologies. This centre has developed robust network with four similar other

ZTM and BPD units of NARS, BPDs of State Agriculture Universities(SAU), other R &D

institutes such as CSIR, Indian Institutes of Technologies(IITs), International institutes such as

ICRISAT etc. The unit facilitates Public Private Partnership (PPP) and extends support to

10

industries and entrepreneurs with transfer of technologies, consultancies, project planning and

business development.

With the completion of five years it is time to contemplate the work done, learning and

achievements of the unit. In the last five years the unit successfully protected 22 technologies 41

plant varieties, 2 literary works and one trademark. Twenty-seven technologies have been

commercialized resulting in revenue generation of more than three crores. A producer company

“beejIndia Producer Co. Ltd.” is being promoted as incubate company for business of seed and

other agricultural products. Besides unit has developed an extensive network of farmers,

entrepreneurs, industries

The country has been emerging as an entrepreneurially active nation with increasing

quality of entrepreneurship. Business incubators have become an integral part of the support

system for the growth of knowledge based entrepreneurship in SME sectors. The primary goal of

the BPD incubator is to improve the entrepreneurial base and thus facilitate economic

development. The Unit has accordingly developed and offers physical infrastructure necessary to

launch new business, furnished offices, lab space and shared resources such as specialized

equipment and support services to incubatees thus creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Five

businesses incubates graduated and helped other six entrepreneurs to setup their enterprises.

The compilation of the five year report has revealed that not only the unit has

successfully met the objectives of the project, it has in the process led to streamlining of the IP

management and technology commercialization process. The ZTM&BPD team came across

many complications, issues, controversies during the discharge of its functions. The same were

taken as challenges, possible solutions were defined and the best fit strategy was followed. The

challenges thus were used to improvise the existing system and creating tailor made solutions.

The team created innovative approaches as well as incorporated some the best strategies of other

institutes including designing of the various forms (invention disclosure form, technology

transfer document, client information form, quality assurance from startups, certificates,

agreements, memorandum of understanding etc. This led to a well establish technology transfer

process, client satisfaction and the confidence to find solution to new challenges which keep

cropping due to the evolving IP culture which has now encompassed the biodiversity issues.

Thus it was a learning process and the unit‟s uninterrupted existence is essential for maintaining

the continuum of the unit‟s evolution process in line with the global IP and technology

commercialization system.

ZTM& BPD Unit, IARI, North Zone-I

The unit constitutes the middle/second tier of the three tier technology management system of

ICAR. The unit works in close collaboration with the first and second tier i.e. ATMC & ITMU

respectively. The unit takes steps to coordinate, harmonize and synergize with other relevant

committees at the ICAR headquarters/institutions.

At the same time unit also provides advice to the institutions in the zone regarding their IPR

portfolio and technology transfer mattersalso advise the institutions in the zone regarding their

IPR portfolio and technology transfer matters.

The Unit is headed by Director, IARI. The project is managed by the PI and Co-PIs of

the project of the caliber of Principal Scientist through a multidisciplinary team of eight members

including Business Manager, Research Associates and Senior Research Fellows. Keeping in

view the nature and activities to be undertaken by this unit, the roles and responsibilities of the

staff were established. People with specific skill sets in Technology transfer, Business, IPR and

Marketing were recruited to efficiently accomplish these roles and responsibilities. The

organizational framework was developed by defining clear line of authority and responsibilities.

Zonal Institutes

The 21 Institutes listed in table 1.1fall under the purview of the ZTMBPD Unit. Zonal

Technology Management Unit (ZTMU) acts as a hub and hand holding partner for 21 other

ICAR institutes in the North Zone. It also plays its extended role in NAIP funded Business

planning and Development unit called Zonal Technology Management and Business Planning

and Development Unit (ZTM-BPD) for Technology commercialization, Entrepreneur

development and Business Incubation. The unit organizedseveral sensitization programs to

expose the scientists to the nuances of the overall subject of IPR and technology transfer. The

unit strived hard to provide all possible needful assistance and/guidance in cases where the

concerned institutes in the zone lack experience or confidence for managing particular IP or

business (licensing) deal. In the last one year the BPD facilitated and commercialized several

zonal technologies such as Aeroponics technology of CPRI, Shimla, Nano-fertilizer technology

of CAZRI, Jodhpur and GMO Detection of NBPGR, New Delhi to name a few. The unit

keeps/collects and collates traceable records of IP management activities of all ICAR institutes

fallings under its purview, maintains zonal IP database and provides consultancy and

handholding on case to case basis.

1. Objectives

To identify the potential technologies ready for commercialization and develop

into marketable technologies and upscale them into viable agri-business under

public-private partnership framework.

To develop a mechanism for transferring technology from IARI to public/private

sector using R&D backup of the institute to help entrepreneurs in

commercializing the technologies

To impart consultancy and training for creating prospective entrepreneurs and

value added man power.

To strengthen R&D focus of the institute towards more applied research through

backward linkage from industry.

2. Baseline Analysis

Before this project, Commercialization of IARI technologies was done through the NRDC.

Some selected technologies were assigned to it. Some commercialization efforts were also

carried out through the business cell of IARI. But these efforts were not sufficient for such a

large Institute. Moreover, procedures for valuation of technologies and MOU were not

standardized. After the start of this project, the unit has created effective interfaces with

different business and government organizations to develop meaningful relationships to

transfer technologies to benefit the society. On the other hand, our unit is also engaged in

spreading news to individuals about the programs and organized skill development

programmes that are designed to nurture entrepreneurial capabilities. At the same time

technologies are disseminated in countryside which helped to generate the employment for

marginal and small farmers.

Animal Feed Block Machine

26

Introduction:

India has huge livestock population, the problem of production, distribution and

management of animal feed is, accordingly, of very high magnitude. The animal feed in the

country is based on major constitutes of dry roughage from crops. The bulk density of the

fodders, hay and straws, after threshing is very low requiring very large storage space. Farmers

do not have sufficient time between harvesting of matured crops and sowing of next seasonal

crop. As, a result crop residues suitable or feeding livestocks are being burnt in the fields. The

burning of crop residues pollutes the environment and generates a huge gap between supply and

demand of fodder. In and around urban area, cattles are forced to eat domestic garbage for their

survival a large number of cattle perish or non availability of animal fodders and balanced feeds.

The problem can be solved only through a planned scientific management of transportation,

storage and management of crop residues and hays.

Feed Block Machine: a solution for feed management

Densification of roughage based crop residues in compact, ready to eat feed block is an

effective solution for animal feed management. it is possible to formulate complete animal feed

blocks using straw and diet supplements such as molasses, concentrates , minerals and salts.

Such feed blocks can be stored over a long period of time, transported economically over long

distances and could be stored in large quantities in less space. These feed blocks can be made

into customized sizes, shapes and formulations for different animals according to the prescribed

diet of the animals. The division of Agricultural Engineering of the Indian Agricultural Research

Institute, New Delhi developed an animal feed block formation machine to serve the purpose of

animal feed management.

27

Animal Feed Block Machine

Animal Feed Block Making Machine is used for densification of roughage-based crop

residues to high density feed blocks. It has output capacity of 350 Kg/hr. The feed blocks can be

supplemented with molasses, concentrates, minerals and salts for added nourishment of animals.

Benefits:

Feed blocks can be formed in customized shapes & sizes

Ease in handling of feed materials

Storage of large quantities in less space (volume reduction: up to 42 times)

Economic and efficient transportation

Longer shelf life

Various formulations for different animals

Softening of feed on compaction; animals prefer eating these blocks

Reduction in labour cost

Lower wastage of crop residues

Prevents selective eating by animals

Utility of the Technology:

Densification of crop residues

Feed blocks can be supplemented with molasses, concentrates , minerals and salts

Output capacity 350kg/hr

Market Potential:

The animal feed block industry especially the cattle feed is not very well organized. The

storage of feed and its transportation has been major bottle neck for the efficient mobilization of

feed from its source of origin to the place of its consumption. Since a small quantity of raw feed

requires big space for its storage. The potential for animal feed block machine is very immense.

Blue Green Algae

Introduction

Rice is one of the most important crops of South East Asia and covers about 44mha in

India consuming more than 60 lakh tonnes of nitrogen. The successful production of rice

depends upon economic and efficient supply of nitrogen, an element required in the largest

quantity in comparison with the other essential nutrients. Biological nitrogen fixation is

especially important in rice field where Blue Green Algae (BGA) or cyanobacteria are

recognized as significant contributors to the overall nutrient balance.

Blue green algae are actually a type of bacteria that is known as cyanobacteria. In their aquatic

habitat, cyanobacteria are equipped to use the sun‟s energy to manufacture their own food

through photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria are one of the few microorganisms that can convert inert

atmospheric nitrogen into usable form, such as nitrate or ammonia. The production of rice has

benefited from the fertilization capability of this microorganism.

Nitrogen fixing BGA have shown to be most important in maintaining & improving the

productivity of rice fields.

Technology description

Blue Green Algae find a highly favourable abode in the waterlogged conditions of rice

fields. They provide cheap nitrogen to plants besides increasing crop yield by making soil vital,

fertile and productive. BGA biofertilizer in rice popularly known as „Algalization‟ helps in

creating an environmentally safe agroecosystem that ensures economic viability in paddy

cultivation while saving energy intensive inputs. Under favourable conditions, BGA have been

found to contribute upto 25-30 Kg N per hectare per season and increase yield by 10-12%. These

have also been recognized as important agents in the stabilization of soil, add organic matter,

release growth promoting substances, improve soil physico-chemical properties and solubilize

the insoluble phosphates.

Benefits:

Cheap source of nutrients and Nitrogen

Counteracting the negative impact of chemical fertilizer

PB 1509

Introduction

Many a time‟s people have asked what is the meaning of basmati rice. Basmati rice has

been reported in India since the early days of the 19th Century though it may have been named

differently. 'Bas' in Hindi language means "aroma" and 'Mati' mean "full of" hence the word

Basmati i.e. full of aroma. This rice is different from other rice mainly due to the aroma and

elongation post cooking. No other rice has this combined characteristic. The post cooking

elongation is more than twice its original length. One can easily call it the Champagne of India.

Average yield of PB 1509 is 3.94 t/ ha.

Innovations

Innovation is the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs,

or existing market needs.

1. Streamlining of IP Management Procedure

To fasten the IP management, procedure has been streamlined. The following steps has been

taken.

a) Invention disclosure form- To expedite the process of IP management, it is necessary to get

the full detail of invention on a prescribed format. In that process an invention disclosure form

has been created and introduced to get the entire information from inventors. It is a confidential

document prepared by a scientist/inventor for submission to Unit.

b) Inventor Interview- To understand the invention in a better way and to draft the patent

application, Inventor interview has been introduced .

2. Instituionalization of Commercilization of Technology Procedures

For effective commercialization of technology following innovative steps were introduced

a) Invention disclosure form for commercialization- To get the information of the innovative

technology for advertisement of the technologies, Invention disclosure form for

commercialization has been created and information of around 400 technologies has been

gathered on these forms. Based on this information, flyers, posters, smart reports of these

technologies have been made for creating the industry interest in these technologies.

b) IARI technology Bank: Inventory of IARI technologies along with their description has

been created by collecting the information on above mentioned form.

c) Zonal Technology Bank: Similarly Zonal technology bank of 20 institutes has been made by

collecting the information from these institutes

43

d) FAQ: By considering the industry perspective and their proable question, Frequently asked

questions has been made for recent and important technologies of IARI as well as zonal

institutes.

e) Innovative Marketing Approach:

Innovative marketing approach played an important role in transfer of technoilogies through

public privte partnership (PPP) to end users and farmers. We emphasiszed on the

i) B2B meeting for interaction with the industry and on an average 10-15 B2B

meetings per month were arranged with the industry representatives. After the

first introductory meeting, proper follw up helped us in marketing the

technologies as well as better liasioning with the industry for future business

prospects.

ii) Timely Response to Queries: We introduced the system to monitor the timeline

from the time to get the query till final redressal. It helped us in providing the

timely response to the industry.

iii) Web Portal: Dynamic Dynamic website of Zonal Technology Management &

Business Planning Development Unit (http://ztmbpd.iari.res.in) has been

developed with features like online membership, registration, database

management for effective communication with zonal institutes.

iv) News Bulletin : A news bulletin named TAKSAY (Taknique se Vyavsay) was

published from IARI-ZTM BPD Unit focusing activities like technology

commercialization, agri-business incubation, IP protection, Entrepreneur

Development Programme and technologies from North Zone Institutes

v) Use of Social Media : ZTM has its on Facebook page & LinkedIn account. We

used the social media for creating a word for our technologies.

vi) Mass e-mail& Cold Calls: To create the awareness about agri technologies of

NZ-1 , mass e-mail to sector specific industries regarding the innovative

technologies in their sector has been sent regaularly. This has an huge impact ,

helped in generating the interest of the industry in our technologies.

vii) Industry Data Base: Based on all above mentioned activities, simultaneously we

developed the industry specific databases for future interaction as well as

dissemination of information.

viii) Technology Exhibition at Different Platform :We also exhibited our technologies

at different National level Industry meet, trade fair. To take part in these

exhibitions special Posters , flyers brochures etc. has been created and distributed

to interested parties, which further spread the word for our technologies.

ix) Tapping of Inventors Link: As inventors know the main industry players of their

field and sometime during the development phase of their technology, they

interact with the industry. By considering this an important contact point, we also

involved inventors with us for commercialization of their technologies.

x) Client information &Feed Back Form: To contact the existing client in future and

to know their need in future, client information and feed back form has been

created and information has been collected on these form and based on these

information, database has been created

3. Standerdization of Licensing Agreements : To further reduce the time to conclude

the commercialization procedure of technology with industry following innovative

steps are introduced:

a) Sector Specific Mou Template: Sector specific such as seed variety, PHT

technology or based on mile stone payment base, preagreement alongwith

evauation part of the samples,etc. MoU templates were created. In this we also

speltout the nonnegotiable clauses . This helped us in reducing the response time

and better understanding with the industry.

b) Stanard Format for Startup Companies: To assure the quality of the products from

our technologies by the start up, Startup format has been created and implemented

45

to provide technical help to startup as well as monitor their quality standard so

that standard product should go to the market and then to end users.

c) Technology transfer form: This form has also been introduced to get the

certificate of technology transfer from the inventors as well as from industry

representatives after successful demonstration of the technology at lab and

providing training to industry representatives.

d) Royalty Form: To collect the royaly from the industry, royalty form has been

created and implemented.

4. Incubation Facilities: a) Guidelines for incubation has been made and implemented

to standardize the incubation procedure. Standard agreement format has been created

based on guidelines and policies. It created a better understansing of the system

among the incubates as well as reduces the response time.

b) Incubatee Selection Camp: To select theincubates, we advertize in the

newspaper and invited the projects and selected the projects for incubation. We

also mentored them on the technical as well as business aspects and get modified

and helped them to repare the roject to get the funding/loan for working on these

business proposals.

c) Neworking with other Network: We did networking with other networks

working in entrepreneurial area like CIIE, Ahmedabad, NEN, TIE.

d) Mentors Network: With the help of other network, we created a list of business

mentors along with technical mentors.

5. Formation of Producer Company: With a mission of “Utpadak se Udhami

Tak”, With a motto of converting farmers to entrepreneurs ZTM-BPD Unit

facilitated the formation of a Producer company named “beej India Producers

Co. Ltd” and has been registered under Company‟s Act 1956. This incubating

company has 50 farmers with 20 subscribed founding members. It has 8 member

executive board with IARI as Advisory Director in the Executive Board.

Activities have been initiated as Seed Venture from Rabi 2012 covering

approximate area of 100 ha. The target crops for this season are Wheat, Pulses,

Oilseed, Potato and vegetable crops, “beejIndia Producer Company Ltd” will not

only bring prosperity directly among farmer members but also will set an example

for farmers from other areas. Training of the farmers were done for legal

46

compliance like ROC, TIN, DIN, Licensing part etc, provided in PUSA campus to

give them a platform to sale their produce.

6. Organization of Team: To achieve the objective of the project i.e.

commercialization of technology and to provide the incubation to start up

company. ZTM & BPD unit has been organized based on their work profile like

marketing, IP management, IT system for use of electronic media for

Intellectual Asset Development

ZTM-BPD unit plays a vital role in evaluating the newly developed technologies as per

patentability criteria, conducting prior art search, drafting and filing the patent application

for securing patent rights. Till date 82 patent applications has been filed in different sectors

including agro-chemicals, pesticides, bio-fertilizers, bio-control agents and agricultural

machineries. Out of those 16 patents has been granted to IARI. Institute has also filed 47

applications with PPV&FRA in last five years for different crop varieties like rice, wheat,

cabbage, cauliflower, brinjal, tomato and chrysanthemum.

The Unit has been actively engaged from the last five years in the process of protection of

Intellectual property rights on the technologies generated by the Research team of IARI. 21

Patent applications have been filed in the last five years by IARI and 6 patents filed by IARI

have been granted to ICAR. The patent protected technologies include agricultural

chemicals and Microbes based bioformulations such as biopesticides, biofertilizers, post

harvest technologies and extraction technologies.

The plant varieties developed at the PUSA institute by the Divisions of Genetics,

Floriculture and landscaping and Vegetable science have been popular with the farmers and

seed companies. The same have been protected under the PPVFR Act. A total of 41

applications have been filed for protecting wheat, rice, vegetable and flower varieties

developed by the Institute.

IARI is selling its seeds and other products under the brand name “PUSA”. In 2005, IARI

got trademark registration for PUSA as label. But since the word „PUSA‟ was being used

more frequently as a trade mark, so a need was felt to register word „PUSA” as a word

mark. Accordingly, ZTM & BPD unit has filed the trademark application for the protection

of “PUSA” as word mark in eight different classes.

Status on Environmental and Social Safeguard Framework

and

Constraints, if any and Remedial Measures Taken

89

Status on Environmental and Social Safeguard Framework:

The operations of the unit are designed to create maximum social and economic impact.

Our primary focus is to create awareness regarding latest technological changes in the

agricultural industry and to promote self independence. By this way, we not only encourage

individuals to start their own business ventures but also promote employment with less

dependency on the government system. Our technology licensing activities have helped

companies and business houses introduce products and processes that reduce cost and maximize

agricultural production. In addition to that companies have also benefitted from our joint projects

to implement overseas and earn valuable foreign exchange for the nation. The farmers are also

benefitted as a result of commercialized technologies which translate to quality inputs to help

carry out their farm practices. On the other hand our business incubation is aimed to benefit the

youth who can be trained to start their own business ventures and become independent.

Constraints, if any and Remedial Measures Taken

Constraints

The creation of infrastructure has longer gestation period.

High staff turnover of staff which leads to a lot of loss of time and knowledge.

Lack of proper technical tools to retain and consolidate knowledge.

Dependence on ITMUs for finalization of prices for technologies. Developing a close

interaction and rapport with the scientist is a time taking process

It comprises of a lot of associated activities like technology evaluation,

commercialization, patenting, maintaining the IP portfolio. Each demand a separate skill

and a number of personnel from each field should be associate with the project.

Lack of proper reporting structure of zonal institutes which makes it difficult to co-

ordinate with institutes.

Lengthy process and protocols for taking financial decisions. A lot of time is wasted in

adhering to the norms.

The ITMUs have limited commercialization skill.

The ITMUs of institute have very limited commercialization potential.

90

Remedial

Learning from the past

Industry is receptive about the agricultural technology

Entrepreneurs/ NGOs/ Farmers are ready to pay for the technology

There is high level of awareness among the scientific community regarding

patenting, commercialization.

Business incubation

Seed money should be provided as a revolving fund component

Concepts like SHGs, Cooperative, Producer company need to be utilized to make

a dent in the society

There is a need to identify and focus on high end technologies (Seed production,

mass propagation of planting material, etc) for the purpose of business creation

Employment Generation/ Incubation program

154

Employment Generation

During the project period, ZTM & BPD unit has licensed 87 agricultural technologies.

Out of those, 71 seed varieties were commercialized like wheat variety HD 2967, HI 1544

HI1563, Rice variety PRH10, PB1509, Maize variety PHEEM5 , several vegetable and flower

varieties to seed companies. Under these licensing agreements, the breeder seed, and parental

lines of the hybrid has been given to seed companies. These seed companies under took the seed

multiplication programme of these varieties. They further took processing, packaging and

marketing of the seed among the farmers. During this entire chain of the seed production and

value addition till end users, each activity generated the employment for different stakeholders

besides providing the sumptuous income to farmers. In this way these activities of ZTM & BPD

unit created additional direct employment of approx. for 500 people associated with seed

business production and supply chain. Thus taking into account these assumptions, it is estimated

that the unit was able to provide directly and indirectly employment to 35500 people. Moreover,

the new seed technologies would increase the productivity of farmers and raise the income and

prosperity of farmers.

The Unit has licensed ten bio-fertilizers technologies. It is noteworthy that one of our

industry partner EPI has done the business of about Rs.1 crore with a single biofertilizer

technology ie. Blue Green Algae within one year of its establishment. The Industry partner is

selling 250 gm packet of biofertilizer required for application in one acre area at the rate of Rs.

700. This industry has taken this technology to14285.71 acre and benefited approx. 3000

farmers. On the other side, production and supply chain generated employment for approx. 250

per biofertilizer technology. In this way, the commercialization of ten biofertilizer technologies

have led to generating direct employment for approx. 2500 individuals. Simultaneously, the

licensing of these technologies have helped in faster dissemination of these technologies, gave

new impetus to the industry by giving them innovative technologies. At the same time atleast

around 30,000 farmers have benefitted by getting the quality inputs.

In Agriculture Chemicals four innovative technologies were licensed to corporate

sector. To bring the products based on these technologies require scaling up of the process as

research institution licensed only proof of concept and lab scale technologies to the industries.

155

After scaling up, production starts which require in some cases the establishment of new

production facilities like in the area of nano technologies. In this way by considering all these

dimensions of scaling up, establishment of infrastructure, production and supply chain,

successful diffusion to these technology at farmers levels generated employment at least for 1000

people per technology . By taking into account these assumptions around 4000 people were got

employment due to the commercialization of four agricultural technologies of IARI. Similarly in

case of commercialization of post harvest technology, around 250 people per technology would

get employment when PHT related product comes into the market. Due to commercialization of

eight PHT technologies, employment opportunities were generated for approx. 2,000 people.

In Agriculture Engineering area the unit has commercialized 14 technologies.

Productions of these farm equipments require the new establishment along with the marketing

channel. These activities create around employment for approx. 250 people per technology. So,

commercialization of 14 Technologies created the employment for around 3500 people.

EDPs, workshops and Field Participants: Entrepreneurs are considered as agents of economic

growth. They create wealth, generate employment, provide new goods and services and raise the

standard of living. EDP is an effective way to develop entrepreneurs which can help in

accelerating the pace of socio-economic development, balanced regional growth, and

exploitation of locally available resources. To promote and motivate the entrepreneurial skills,

the unit organized Entrepreneurship development programs (EDPs) in various sectors such as

Bio-fertilizers, Dry flower making, bio-pesticides and vegetable production. A total of 24 EDPS

were coordinated with respective divisions of IARI in the last five years (2009-14) which

resulted in skill development and training of 283potential entrepreneurs from various states of

India. The beneficiaries of the EDPs were unemployed youth, start-up companies, farmers and

staff of established companies. Resource generation is an important objective of the unit. To

achieve the aim 24 EDPs were organized and bestow business training to 283 participants by unit

in last five year (2009-14). Further we assumed that minimum 50 men got the ideas for start

business from single resources person. On the basis of tentative result, 14150 men attained direct

benefit from 283 resources persons. For resources generation unit organized workshops time to

time and developed the skill of 236 participants. Furthermore, for the calculation of indirect

employment we multiplied with the average of 10 men per person for other activities and 4460

men got benefited from workshops and field participant. Thus the unit has contributed towards

the creation of an enterprise culture in the country.

Notes: R.P: Resource Person, EG, Employment Generation

Table 12.2 shows employment generation through various technologies and events. It can be

seen from the table, the total employment provided in numbers is 13890 individuals during last

five years. In the case of EDPs we found highly fluctuated numbers of employed individuals, in

the initial year, 4200 individuals were able to get employment, next year results drastically

decreased, again in the last year we were able to improve this figure. In the next column, as

observed that number of employed individuals increased from 60 to 2360 during 2009-10 to

2013-14. Furthermore, although we were able to generate employment to 2360 number of

individuals, but 2011-12 and 2012-13 years were not significant to generate employment through

workshops. In the case of field days, as observed the increasing trend of employment during five

years except 2012-13.

Corporate membership is important to have dialogue between industry and ZTMBPD Unit. The

Unit provides various services to its members like membership is valid till one year after that

members have to renew the membership to avail the facilities of the BPD. It is also small source

of revenue generation for the unit. The Unit has 424 members on roll by way of corporate

membership and a sum of Rs. 1869500 has been generated.

C. Entrepreneurship development Program

The ZTMBPD Unit undertakes the EDP program with the aim of imparting skills on high end

technologies it is also a method to showcase the IARI technologies to industry. BPD has

organized a total of 24 EDPs. EDPs are organized on nominal charge basis so that the genuine

people who are interested in the technologies participates .It is also an important source of

revenue generation by the Unit, the revenue generated through EDPs is Rs. 13.92 Lakh.

the last year.

D.Rentals from incubates

BPD provides office space to incubates to nurture their ideas & business enterprise. Unit

provides facilities like office space, laboratory, tissue culture facility, and these facilities are

provided on a payment basis which adds to revenue generation by unit. Till date 5 incubatees

have used the facilities of BPD and have successfully graduated.

It is clearly observed (Table 14.5) that revenue generated in year 2009-10 was only by

seed commercialization, over the period of time revenue generation was through

commercialization of different product line that is bio-fertilizers, agricultural chemical, PHT,

agricultural engineering, other etc. It is found that the share of different technologies fluctuated

in different years, as observed in 2012-13 that 49.4 per cent share of agricultural engineering, in

the next year just 2.4 per cent, at the same time the share of seed revenue increased from 9.4 per

cent to 41.1 per cent. Another important technology which played an important role in revenue

generation and acquired a share of 32.9 per cent and 42.7 per cent in 2012-13 and 2013-14

respectively is agricultural chemicals technology. If we look at last five years the total share of

seed technology is recorded 41.8 per cent and 6.7, 30.8, 6.9, 6.4, and 7.5 per cent of bio-

fertilizers, agricultural chemical, PHT, agricultural engineering and other respectively.

Figure 14.10: Percentage Share of Revenue of different Technology in 2010-11

It is observed (Figure 14.10) that 58 per cent of revenue is generated by

commercialization of others technologies and 33 per cent by seed commercialization/licensing.

Resultshows that 6 per cent revenue is generated by Bio- fertilizers in the year 2010-11.

In the last figure 14.11 we noticed that seed technology was dominating which enabled to

generate the major portion of revenue in 2011-12. Next year (2012-13) the share of said

technology was just 9 per cent (Figure 14.12). On the other hand the share of agricultural

engineering technologies is almost 50 per cent in revenue generation. And 33 per cent revenue is

generated by agricultural chemical technologies.

Again, it is notice from the Figure 14.13 the share of agricultural chemical and seed

technologies commercialized is increased and share of agricultural engineering is decreased in

the year 2013-14. Bio-fertilizers were also able to raise the share of revenue in 2013-14.

Figure 14.14: Percentage Share of Revenue of different Technologies during 2009-10 to

2013-14

Above figure 14.14 shows that 42 per cent and 31 per cent revenue is generated through

seeds and agricultural chemical respectively, furthermore, significant and equal share is recorded

for bio-fertilizers, post harvesting technology, agricultural engineering and other during the

whole period.

It is not unimportant to mention that diversified technology were provided by the Unit

over the period of time to farmers/corporate. In 2009-10, we concentrated only on seed

commercialization, after that dissemination of technology year by year. In an overall sense what

we have underlined is that 31 technologies were commercialized in the case of seed and

furthermore 14, 7, 20, 8, and 6 related to bio-fertilizers, agricultural chemical, PHT, agricultural

engineering and others respectively(Table 14.6).

Figure 14.25: Percentage Share of Different Technologies in 2010-11

Figure 14.25 represent that 60 per cent share is from bio-fertilizers and agricultural

engineering in the year 2011-12. It can be seen from the Pi- diagram that 20 per cent share is

covered by post harvest technology in above said period. And 20 per cent share fall under

agricultural chemical and other technologies.

The share of post harvest technology has increased from 10 per cent to 59 per cent in 2011-12.

On Other hand seed technologies maintained the same percentage.


Again in the year 2012-13 the share of seeds and post harvest technology were

dominated. Furthermore, 26 per cent is covered by agricultural chemical and others technologies.

Agricultural chemical technologies share is 7 per cent and same per cent is recorded in the case

of agricultural engineering (Figure 14.27).

It is important to mention that in the year 2013-14, it has been observed that not a single

technology is dominated, what we have underlined is that satisfactory share is covered by

different technologies (Figure 14.28).

Figure 14.29: Percentage Share of Different Technologies during 2009-10 to 2013-14

In the first year what we have underlined is that we were unable to formulate a pi-

diagram because only single technology were commercialized, if we considered the last five

years, we recorded from diagram that we are not concentrating on single technology,

nevertheless able to commercialized multiple technologies (Figure 14.29).

must have credit for working in BPD in terms of appraisal and incentives.

Challenges and Future road mapping

Governance: The PI and Business managers do not have enough autonomy and be

empowered to take decisions with less red tape for the entire team. This is essential for

smooth functioning of the unit at par with the corporate, delays in formalities and paper

work. Mangers must be professionals from industry taken recruited on market cost with

performance based incentive. As the project was under NAIP system is not able to realize

under which criteria the employee‟s incentives and performance is calculated. The unit

should be made a different division and the position of the PI may be elevated to Head of

department. The momentum created should be carried forward.

Human Resource/Team: It is evident from the report that In the last five years

approximately 24 Interviews have been conducted for recruitment of contractual staff.

This has resulted in immense loss of time, funds and most of all “efficiency”. Every time

a new Contractual is hired, no matter how skilled or unskilled – a certain amount of

training is required in order for them to perform their assigned tasks to suit the specific

needs of the BPD unit. Incentivized appraisal system need to be devised for maintaining

efficient staff.

Multiplicity in the institutionalization: Since there is no proper segregation of work

between the various unit/sections created in the system, such as ITMU, ZTMC,

230

ZTM&BPD, AgrInnovate, technology transfer divisions, etc it leads to conflict and

confusion among the stakeholders. There is a need for developing a single window

system.

Operations and others: Besides there is need to strengthen the system and use various

software tools for the proper management of clients and data management. Investment to

be made in client management software for high quality outreach and support services,

Data/knowledge management software of managing the technology and keeping track of

the royalty and premia, IP database of the institute and zonal institutes and a software tool

for IP analysis and prior art search.

Financial: However, the real challenge lies ahead as the World Bank funded NAIP

project support is coming to an end by March 2014. The units are likely to be continued

with the fund support by Government of India under its 12th

five year plan. Presently these

units are not being run on self-sustainable basis as these are not permitted to retain the

revenue earned by them. The BPD units need to be further empowered and supported for

them to be able to continue to support the ICAR institutes and the vast agrarian economy

of India.

Moreover, 30 per cent of total revenue generated by unit should be retained so that

enough corpus funds can be crested for self sustainability of the unit. The unit should be

first priority at ICAR level.

IP Watch: Need for additional resourcesfor IP watch for effective enforcement of

Intellectual property rights of the institute. Recent example which may be sited is the

infringement of PUSA trademark by two companies.
