Extract from Budget speech We must harness our potential in Science and Technology to realize the dream of Modern India envisioned by the Prime Minister in the Indian Science Congress last month I am making a provision of 50 Cr in the budget of the Department of Scientific & Industrial Research for launching a New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative. It will focus on areas which fulfill national objectives and will be based on partnership between the Government and private sector. Finance Minister, 29th February, 2000
POSITIONING NMITLI : PROJECTS Low Technology Certainty India so far operated here NMITLI High Market Certainty Low
Proactive strategies Focus on technology leadership From Incremental to Disruptive Push and Pull Projects Govt funding to industry and institutions Assembling the best minds to design, develop and deploy Soft loans to industry/ grants to institutions
NMITLI FOUNDATION TALENT TECHNOLOGY TOLERANCE
NMITLI HIGHLIGHTS Grand Challenges Igniting and networking the best minds Largest PPP in India Over 100 International Patents Rs. 500 Crore outlay 350 Partners (80 Private + 270 Public ) 1700 NMITLI partners
Some NMITLI Successes
BIO-SUITE A VERSATILE, PORTABLE SOFTWARE SUITE FOR BIOINFORMATICS Team India effort of TCS and 19 institutional partners What each one of you cannot do alone, we can do together! Institutional partners - domain expertise but no product expertise TCS - product expertise but no domain expertise A world class product / highly modular structure comprising 8 modules, 58 sub-modules, 165 individual algorithms BioSuite recognized among the best IT innovations in India by NASSCOM
NMITLI Impact Bioinformatics Before NMITLI TCS revenue in Life Sciences negligible TCS Life Sciences today Directly attributable to domain knowledge acquired through project USD 250 million/yr. USD 25-30 million/yr People directly engaged 400 (4200) TCS provides services to major pharma companies from India. (GSK, Novonordisk, Eli Lilly etc.) Sequenom non-exclusive licensing of one module of BioSuite (USD 300,000)

We should encourage public-private partnership in the widest range of scientific programmes and projects. We should adopt intelligent and result oriented initiatives, such as CSIR s New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative, in which about 50 private sector companies and 150 institutions have already participated. PMs speech 91 st Science Congress, 2004 in Chandigarh
On the occasion of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prizes: September 13, 2004 -Dr. Manmohan Singh Last week, I was informed of a breakthrough discovery, of a new molecule to treat Tuberculosis. I am told this is the first new molecule to appear since 1963. This achievement is entirely due to a unique public-private partnership between manufacturing firms and public institutions, through CSIR s New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiatives. Since tuberculosis takes a toll of 5 lakh lives each year in India, this discovery could be of immense significance. We need more partnerships that create leadership for industry while helping the nation combat problems of the common man, such as disease.
India s basic knowledge is stupendous. The challenge is to make it more commercial and market-driven, using more programmes such as the New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative (NMITLI) launched in 2000. Mark Dutz Senior Economist World Bank
