CSIR Experience of Building PPP

Dr. R.A. Mashelkar Director General, CSIR

DIVERSE ASPECTS OF PPP

Access of industry to public institution assets Technology licensing from public institutions Consultancy (knowledge partnerships) Knowledge as equity Co-sharing of R&D facilities Mobility of scientists between industry and institutions Innovative technology financing

Surpluses from contract R&D/ Services Retained at the laboratory Unspent balance carried forward Utilized for capital/revenue expenditure Supplements government grant

Enhancing Quality of Science

1996 Laboratory Reserve Fund, surplus generated from contract research(Rs Billions) 0.6 2005 4.1

Quality of papers (Average Impact Factor / Paper) Quantity (No of SCI journal paper) Foreign patents, numbers

0.89 (IISc =1.83) 1600 (IISc = 703) 10

1.95 (IISc=2.19) 2200 (IISc = 799) 222

 I have recommended CSIR as a model of how countries can harness their top quality scientific research institutions to the task of industrial technology development, innovation and global competitiveness.

ACCOLADES FROM BUSINESS

SIVARAM COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS (2005): ACCELERATING PPP

Setting up of incubation centres Promoting knowledge based entrepreneurship in CSIR Co-sharing facilities with industry Co-locating industry R&D within CSIR Offshore acquisition of early stage knowledge/ IP Professional development fund through laboratory earnings Easing mobility of scientists to and from industry Flexibility in ownership of IP Uniformity in sharing of the revenues and removal of the ceiling

Bio-Suite: A Versatile, Portable Software Suite for Bioinformatics

Indian dream of being leader in bioinformatics Challenge Imported software costs $ 450,000! TCS product expertise but no domain expertise 19 institutions domain expertise but no product expertise TCS + 19 institutions - World beating product Biosuite
Software was launched in Bio at San Francisco (June 2004) & by President, India in Hyderabad (July 2004)

GAINING GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IN LEATHER THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Chemical processing of biological materials Generation of about 750 kgs of solid and 40,000 liters liquid wastes per ton of leather processed Developed a bio-processing methodology which will render the reduction of solid wastes to less than 100 Kg ton of hide processed Breakthrough caught the imagination of the world already

BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES ON LEATHER

Ambient preservation of skin without salting or drying Enzyme only processing for removal of hair, flesh and fat and opening of fibers Microbial conversion of sulfate into elemental sulfur
Skins preserved for months at ambient conditions based on curd or neem based products Chemical Free (enzyme only) Processed Skin in a tannery
