much of your criticism is valid and i can only say that if the issue was only dissemination, then you have done a good job of it. But then visit NIF and find out the stress under which a small team works days and night with highly limited resources,m static for last eight years( though in the same period, the number has swelled to more than hundred thousand practices, ideas, traditional knowledge practices, and of course innovations from over 545 districts ). May be you can be a valuable part of the solution rather than just finding out why much could not be done.

If you read Honey Bee newsletter, you will find in the last several issues in which we have published similar innovations which are found in China, Africa, and India.

I do not know about the right or wrong management at nif, but it is open management and colleagues are welcome to critique it, contribute to improve it ( every criticism helps in improving it) and take it forward.

there is no other public institution which has scaled up the knowledge about creativity and innovation in the country with budget going down in real terms in the last eight years.

we are always looking for mavericks who believe in making thsi ocuntry more creative, comassionate and collaborative,

may be you will also collaborate

all the best and keep critiquing because that indeed helps

I think the way out from this problem: We first need to talk to Prof. Gupta and see whether we can help him to find right talent.

Are you interested? In any case, do please write me your contact information (including phone number) to my gmail id : malapati.

Thanks,
