Abstract

INDIA HAS SEEN A PHENOMENAL RISE IN THE NUMBER OF INDIGENOUS INNOVATIONS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. THE NUMBER OF THOSE BRILLIANT INNOVATIONS THOUGH DO NOT FULLY REALISE THE POTENTIAL THEY HAVE AND UNFORTUNATELY HAVE BEEN LABELLED AS JUGAAD AND FADE INTO OBLIVION. A MAJOR FACTOR FOR THIS LOSS IS THE LACK OF A GUIDING FORCE FOR THE INNOVATOR TO TAKE THROUGH THIS JOURNEY, WHICH APPEARS LONG, DAUNTING AND UNREALISTIC TO BECOME A REALITY. THE COURSE AIMS TO INTRODUCE THEM TO THE INNOVATOR’S JOURNEY FROM FINDING A WORTHY GERMINAL IDEA AND GROWING IT TO A FORM WHERE THE FRATERNITY ACCEPTS IT WITH AN OPEN ARM. THE DIDACTIC LECTURES FROM ACCOMPLISHED INNOVATORS IN THIS COURSE WILL BE COUPLED WITH DEDICATED TIME FOR A PANEL DISCUSSION AND AUDIENCE INTERACTION FOR HELPING THE AUDIENCE NAVIGATE THROUGH ANY HURDLE THEY MIGHT BE FACING.
