The Centre for Digital Economy Policy Research (C-DEP) appreciates the high quality of the draft policy on ICT&E R&D.
C-DEP believes that the policy can be further enhanced by also bringing in focus on non-structured innovation, especially those coming from MSME’s and vocational centres and by focusing on institutionalized processes for roping in large domestic corporations early on into a R&D lifecycle, in order to ensure appropriate commercializations and economic benefits.
The purpose of the document is to provide inputs to the draft Policy on R&D in ICT&E by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Government of India, in order to strengthen the policy.
