Abstract:
Abstract: When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, others build windmills. Innovation has taken over as the hub of quality improvement and each spoke of life is being driven by continuous improvement of these innovations. In an inexorably serious ecosystem, components such as innovation and quality can continue to prompt an upper hand. A comparative study of various world class consulting organizations, observed that innovation was among the main three vital needs for 95% of organizations, besides evaluation and metrics (1,2,3). This is to a limited extent because of innovations having the option to give extraordinary deliverables and iterations which make more prominent incentives for end users, just as monetary advantages for the organization (4). Further exploration proposes “Quality” is at the forefront of innovations. Quality management applications have likewise been related with functional and monetary execution permitting firms to accomplish objectives on priority at the grass root level first and scale up.

Abstract:
Abstract Social innovation should represent a step forward activation policies, promoting a new balance between economic development and social cohesion, reducing inequalities and vulnerability. The Third sector is a privileged sphere of social innovation: there are many expectations on its ability to provide innovative answers to unaddressed social needs; one area of its intervention are youth policies. In Italy, the Third sector reform established new provisions on volunteering, civil service and social entrepreneurship, which should primarily benefit the youth. It allows to explore the double face of the Third sector transformation and of the European rhetoric on social innovation. On the one side institutions are trying to recognize emerging grass-root practices which combine social involvement, professional fulfillment and political action in order to respond new societal challenges. On the other side, the market is still fundamental in practices and discourses around social innovation, that maintain many contradictions of the activation policies.

Abstract:
<p>Organizational effectiveness influences the NGOs performance in various important aspects like stakeholders’ satisfaction, expertise solutions in their area of operation, goal achievement and innovation. NGOs operate in order to improve their beneficiaries’ quality of life aspects. The present study focuses on the relationship between the effectiveness of NGOs and the quality of life experiences of their beneficiaries. Using standard stratified disproportionate random sampling method 10 NGOs were selected, further from the sample list of 10 NGOs 100 staff members and 300 beneficiaries were selected for the purpose of the present study. The result indicated that the effectiveness of NGOs and QOL of the beneficiaries are positively and significantly correlated. To be more specific “ Programme Effectiveness”, as a dimension of the effectiveness of NGOs was the strongest correlate of QOL, followed by “ Agency Appreciation”, “ Innovation” and “Grass Root Impact”. All the least correlated dimensions are “Target Group Involvement” and “Resource Appreciation”. </p><p> </p>

Abstract:
As one of the worlds foremost emerging markets, India holds great potential in areas of trade, technology, innovation and manufacturing. An important facilitator for this would be the digital connectivity and permittivity in the country. Digitalization of processes and services across its length and breadth would help pave the way for more industrialization and development in the fastest growing economy. It is important to note that India has made rapid strides in this and achieved a lot of digital permittivity. While the huge population of India and its industrious populace offer a huge opportunity in this direction, many challenges remain in navigating this path. Digitalization ultimately has to reach the grass root level and this paper examines these aspects on a broad scale.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria effects on anatomical characteristics and nutritional value of Brachiaria (Syn. Urochloa) brizantha cv. BRS Piatã. The experimental design applied was completely randomized design with three treatments: (1) non-inoculated unfertilized-control plants (C-), (2) non-inoculated fertilized-control plants (C+) and (3) B. brizantha inoculated with Pseudomonas fluorescens (BRM-32111) and Burkholderia pyrrocinia (BRM-32113). The following parameters were evaluated at 35 days after seedling emergence: biomass production, plant height, net photosynthesis (A), water-use efficiency (WUE), chlorophyll (SPAD), anatomical and nutritional. The rhizobacteria modified the anatomy of the leaf, culm and roots of B. brizantha. They also increased the chlorophyll content, A, WUE, total soluble carbohydrates, starch and crude protein contents, N, P, Mg and Fe concentrations, plant height, root area and biomass production. Therefore, we conclude that co-inoculation with P. fluorescens (BRM-32111) and B. pyrrocinia (BRM-32113) modified the anatomy and biochemistry of B. brizantha, promoting growth and nutrient accumulation. Therefore, these findings set up the basis for additional exploratory studies, using these rhizobacteria as biotechnological innovation with potential of use as biofertilizer in B. brizantha, aiming higher productivity and nutritive value in a more eco-friendly and sustainable pasture production system.

Abstract:
This paper recommends that there is an important role of Information Technology in the field of women empowerment such empowerment could easily be seen higher in the Urban and rural Tamil Nadu. There is high time for providing training for the women with the support of the administration for strengthening the National Computer literacy Mission. There must be the provision of allocation of budget and funding for testing conceptual framework at the grass root level to assess the effectiveness of empowering women through Information Technology. In India, women face enormous challenges with respect to health, education, and economic empowerment. For example, maternal mortality and malnutrition remain major problems, about third of women are unable to read and write, and economic opportunities are limited by pervasive discrimination and lack of access to market information. Mobile innovation is transforming lives for the better for women in a variety of ways across India. We recognize that the scaling of women-centered mobile programs and applications can only be achieved with improved financial, commercial, and marketing incentives and of course, cooperation. Thorough mobile application training we hope make a start – by financially supporting and recognizing innovative mobile and Web based applications and their potential in a public forum.

Abstract:
The transfer of useful knowledge on Good agricultural management practices and technologies to the farmers and influencing the policy decisions in India is evident in agricultural Extension and it improved the production of food grains and other agricultural commodities since long time (Sajesh, VK and A Suresh 2016 ). Number of extension techniques, tools, methods, approaches were used by the extension specialists to achieve this targets. As number of extension methodologies and approaches are available at the desk of an extension agent and a combination of extension methods and Innovative extension approaches are always proven in reaching the farming community. Thus leading to the adoption of the technologies and increasing the farm productivity further to socio economic changes in rural society. In India the state department of agriculture is looking after the job of transfer of technology and during 1974 the ICAR established the KVKs at District level to meet the Extension needs of the Department of agriculture and Farmers. As an innovation, the ANGRAU established the DAATTCs (District Agricultural Advisory and transfer of Technology centre) during 1998 at district head quarters with an objective to test the Minikits and pre released technologies, Diagnosis and immediate solution to the farmers by the Scientists, Capacity building of farmers, rural youth and grass root level Extension functionaries and to work in convergence with line Departments to increase the out reach of Agricultural Technologies.

Abstract:
Se è vero che l'innovazione si propone di dare valore per l'utente, è vero anche che le percezioni di tale valore possono variare a seconda dei bisogni e dei desideri. Le esigenze motivano a cercare soluzioni nuove. E l'adeguatezza della soluzione è legata anche (sebbene non solo) alle caratteristiche sociali, economiche e culturali del contesto in cui la soluzione viene applicata. Le condizioni di contesto possono generare vincoli che a loro volta possono anche indurre a pensare in modo diverso e a inventare una soluzione “intelligente”. In sostanza quello che si vuole sostenere è che se la necessità è la madre dell’invenzione, il vincolo è il “padre” dello Jugaad.Il Jugaad è un modo creativo di soddisfare i propri bisogni emergenti in condizioni di risorse limitate. Si tratta di un approccio reattivo alle difficoltà, ai problemi e alle necessità. Il termine Jugaad (usato in India e Pakistan) è generalmente associato a soluzioni di fortuna e/o interventi malamente effettuati ed è spesso confuso con l'innovazione e l’invenzione.Lo scopo di questa ricerca è quello di evidenziare le caratteristiche principali del fenomeno Jugaad e di capire il suo posizionamento rispetto ai fenomeni di invenzione ed innovazione. Ciò che in questo studio si sostiene è che il Jugaad sia principalmente un fenomeno culturale scatenato dalle esigenze locali, dall'ingegno locale, dall’orientamento culturale e dai vincoli sociali per trovare una soluzione praticabile in situazioni particolari. Esso prevale in condizioni di mancata applicazione di leggi e regolamenti.In questo lavoro, facendo uso di un approccio di ricerca qualitativo di tipo auto-etnografico, abbiamo proposto la distinzione tra Jugaad, invenzione ed innovazione. Ciò ha permesso di pervenire a tre forme di Jugaad quali il Jugaad per la sopravvivenza, il Jugaad creativo ed il Jugaad innovativo.Uno degli aspetti su cui abbiamo puntato particolare attenzione è relativo al ruolo della conoscenza tacita nella realizzazione del Jugaad, anche alla luce di un gap rilevato nella letteratura nell’associare la conoscenza tacita al concetto di Jugaad. Abbiamo anche provato a mettere in evidenza diverse caratteristiche strategiche di Jugaad nelle dimensioni sociali, culturali, economiche e tacite, ed abbiamo inoltre analizzato le dimensioni culturali di Hofstede e la loro possibile rilevanza nel fenomeno Jugaad al fine di trovare alcune interessanti conclusioni. Ritenendo che il Jugaad creativo ed il Jugaad innovativo abbiano il potenziale per procedere verso un concetto di innovazione sostenibile, abbiamo proposto vari modelli concettuali per sfruttare la conoscenza tacita utilizzando le due forme di Jugaad sopracitate.
If it is true that innovation aims to give value to the user, it is also true that perceptions of this value may also vary depending upon the needs and desires. The needs motivate you to look for new solutions. And the adequacy of the solution is also linked (though not only) to the social, economic and cultural context in which the solution is applied. The contextual conditions can generate constraints which in turn can also lead you to think differently and to invent a "smart solution". We would like to argue that if necessity is the mother of invention, similarly the constraint is the father of Jugaad. The Jugaad is a creative way to meet acute needs in the condition of limited resources. It is a reactive approach to the difficulties, problems and needs. The term Jugaad (used in India and Pakistan) is usually loosely associated to makeshift solutions and/or ugly fixes and is often confused with innovation and invention.The purpose of current research is to highlight the main features of Jugaad phenomenon and understand its positioning with respect to the phenomena of invention and innovation. The current study proposes that Jugaad is mainly a cultural phenomenon that is triggered by local needs, local ingenuity, cultural orientation and social constraints to find a viable solution in particular situations. It prevails in conditions of lack of enforcement of laws and regulations.In the current research, by using qualitative research methodology with an autoethnographic approach, we proposed the distinction between Jugaad, invention and innovation. This allowed us to propose three forms of Jugaad such as survival Jugaad, creative Jugaad and innovative Jugaad.One of the aspects on which we have specially focused is the role of tacit knowledge in the realization of Jugaad, also in light of a gap found in literature in associating tacit knowledge to the Jugaad context. We also attempted to highlight several strategic features of Jugaad in social, cultural, economic and tacit dimensions. In addition, we have also attempted to analyze the cultural dimensions of Hofstede and their possible relevance in Jugaad phenomenon in order to come up with some interesting conclusions.Considering that the creative Jugaad and innovative Jugaad have the potential to proceed towards sustainable innovation, we proposed conceptual models to exploit the tacit knowledge by using aforementioned two forms of Jugaad.

Abstract:
Crowdfunding in energy begins as a response to reduced investments (both governmental and private) into the transition to decarbonized energy systems and to the spread of innovative business models and approaches conductive of greater participation of citizens and communities in distributed renewable energy projects. This chapter presents results of a worldwide overview of the use of crowdfunding in the energy industry. Evidence gathered from available energy crowdfunding platforms highlight a very new, but quite dynamic sector. The crowdfunding tool has been applied in most of its forms, ranging from peer-to-business lending to pure donation, with strong environmental and social mission and the explicit aim of increasing participation of citizens in sustainable energy investment. Evidence also shows that, despite maintaining their environmental and clean energy focus, some energy platforms have begun to move from niche, grass root initiatives into larger projects and collaboration with energy private sector and institutional finance.

Abstract:
Research reveals that Innovation ecosystem model successfully focuses on value creation for customers and other stakeholders in the ecosystem. The elements in the ecosystem adapt to the environmental changes and reconfigure based on the knowledge base created. The use of ICT platforms has added critical value and novelties for today’s innovation ecosystem. Innovation ecosystem leads to knowledge creation and dissemination. This also involves human capital development and opportunity recognition. The co-incubation model of Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) with industries plays an important role for fostering entrepreneurship through ideation- incubation –enterprise creation bringing the benefits to all levels of the society. HEIs and industry collaboration generated an Education-Enterprise (E-E) model. IIT Kharagpur utilized the E-E model to support grass root level entrepreneurs for enterprise creation. This leads to the evolution of EE model. IIT Kharagpur focuses on creation of business solutions through local entrepreneurs through global collaboration in the education, environment, energy, and health domain. Innovation ecosystem creation and management face great challenge due to the complexities in growing economy. This chapter represents live cases dealing with challenges of creation and managing of innovation ecosystem.

Abstract:
The aim of this chapter is to introduce an important area where ICT-Enabled Social Innovation has a particularly high impact, civic engagement, and building a typology of ICT-Enabled Civic Engagement innovation. The idea is that ICTs are becoming increasingly pervasive in the design, development and delivery of social innovation and of civic engagement initiatives and, as a consequence, the relationship between the state (intended as government as well as administration) and citizens is increasingly mediated by the technology in what is now widely known as Smart City/E-Government and relative applications. The provision of services by the state is not only set to become more efficient/effective because of the streamlining effects of the technologies, but also new services are emergent. The framework within which our typology is set out refers to the recent literature on social innovation and ICTs studying the types of relationships between government and citizens. The typology is developed upon empirical considerations based on 41 ICT-Enabled Social Innovation Initiatives selected during the 2014 – 2016 Mapping and Analysis carried out under the aegis of the JRC. The initiatives considered emerged from a research strategy based on systematic mapping of initiatives with policy relevance where ICTs played an important role either as enabler or driver of the innovation process. The initiatives selected had proven evidence of outcomes and/or long-term exceptional output. The sample includes a wide variety of cases from different sectors dealing with the different dimensions of civic engagement. There are grass-root movements and initiatives based on or oriented towards volunteerism; it includes also initiatives engendering citizen participation and those enhancing civic engagement through crowdsourcing/funding activities. The typology developed in this chapter highlights how ICTs underpin innovation in civic engagement initiatives in two main ways; first, it provides instruments and tools to deliver efficient and effective services through modernising existing processes and, second, it has become integrated part of the service design promoting the integration of existing services or the diffusion of new services. However, between the two modes there is not a clear-cut distinction between the roles and uses of ICTs.

Abstract:
This work is devoted to the development of technological methods for the production of grafted grape seedlings, which are based on new scientific developments and contribute to an increase in the yield of standard seedlings. For the production of grafted grape seedlings, we, for the first time, studied the effect of new biologically active complex preparations Radifarm, Bioglobin, Kornevin, Ukorenitel, Charkor, El–1, Potassium humate, Ecoorganics and Rost-concentrate at the technological stages – soaking of components and rooting of grafts. It has been established that their use has contributed to the intensive formation of circular callus on copulatory cuts of grafting components, active formation, and root growth of cuttings, grafts, and annual grape seedlings. The survival rate of grapes grafts treated with preparations in the open ground nursery exceeded the control indicator by 11.2–12.5%. For the successful rooting of grape grafts in the open ground nursery, we first investigated the effect of soil mulching with polymeric materials of various types on the parameters of the temperature and water regime, the indicators of the main physiological and biochemical processes in the leaf tissues, and the agrobiological indicators of the development of grafted seedlings. It has been established that a combined black-and-white film with a thickness of 30 microns is optimal. For the first time, scientific substantiation of the use of new materials (waxes and photodestructible films) was carried out to preserve water in the tissues of grafts at different technological stages and stimulation the development of callus tissue. To stimulate the development of callus tissue before stratification grafts, it is recommended to use waxes Proagrivax Hormone, Proagrivax White, Ant-002-7C, and Ant-001-6, Proagrivax Orange, Proagrivax Mediterranean, Ant-002-7 – before planting cuttings in the nursery. These materials ensured water retention in the apical parts of grafts at the level of 51.6 – 54.2% with 47.2% in the control 30 days after planting the grafts in the nursery. The use of photodegradable films «Buddy Tapе», «Medifilm», «Professional Grafting Tape» to protect the apical parts grafts from drying out, provided the yield of grafts with circular callus at the level of 80.0–90.0% with 70.0% in control, preservation water in tissues after 30 days of vegetation of grafts in nursery at the level of 49.0–50.0%, high survival rate of grafting grafts in the nursery (the difference between experimental and control variants for this indicator was 17.3–20.9%). Based on the results of many years of scientific research, it was found established that it is advisable to stratify grape grafts on water-retaining substrates. For the first time, for stratification and conservation, the influence of new water-retaining substrates was applied and studied – coco peat, its mixture with natural minerals – agroperlite, vermiculite, coconut substrates, kamka (sea grass), preparations of the hydroabsorbent group, a substrate for growing orchids, Polessky substrate. They contributed to the formation of circular callus in 70.0–80.0% of grafts grapes, swelling or the beginning of the opening the eyes of the scion, and the formation of a large number of root tubercles. The survival rate of grafts in the nursery was higher by 26.3–32.5% compared to the generally accepted open method on the water.

Abstract:
In the lifecycle of material products, from the very initial design phase of concept generation to the final disposal, information and communication have always played a prominent part that, in the digital era, is growing and is expected to grow further, also enabling the blooming of grass root and bottom-up changes in the galaxy of design-production-retail systems. Since the beginning of the human history, commerce has been playing a major role in shaping social organization systems. Retail services are not just a way to obtain goods: they provide opportunities for social relationship and cultural growth, and can be considered as a field for social innovation. Our research is aimed to investigate the systemic changes that are occurring in the realm of information and communication services in retail of material products, and their consequences on design, production and distribution processes. The research is supported by TIM-Telecom Italia, it is a wide-ranging study of social, professional and industrial phenomena enabled by digital technologies, and it involves both physical (i.e. traditional distribution in physical retail spaces) and on line services. Our goal is to outline strategic approaches to the design of innovative service/systems and, presently, we mainly focus on two key issue: - understanding and modelling the tangle of factors that determine the user experience in traditional and digital shopping processes; - develop design methodologies supporting the creation of new meaningful services so to support the customers in the understanding of value and in the search of quality in shopping processes. The paper investigates new social behaviors related to shopping, such as show-rooming and web-rooming, and we demonstrate that the pervasive use of mobile devices produces new social phenomena in retail processes and enables new opportunities to create value in retail services. From the investigation of on-line and off-line markets, it emerges the importance of social dynamics and human interactions belonging to physical world: relational dynamics and knowledge acquisition processes play a very important role in the elicitation of senses and emotions, in cultural upgrading, value understanding, quality awareness, trust building. Thereafter, a driving research questions is: how can we orient the design of innovative services so to improve the relationship between customers and retailers? The analysis of these new trends and the presentations of some design experiences bring us to the definition of some strategic directions guiding the generation of new paradigms of services in the retail field.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3329

Abstract:
National Board of Accreditation, India has become the signatories of the Washington Accord adopting outcome based education guidelines in order to impart the quality education in engineering institutes [14]. Outcome Based education (OBE) requires thorough assessment and evaluation of the students individually, with special focus on the overall development of the students. OBE is based more on student centric learning and less on the role of a faculty or the content part (taught) which requires modifications at grass root level in the University teaching learning scheme. It demands a transition of a lecturer into a facilitator. It also requires a paradigm shift in teaching learning process in engineering education (EE) system as OBE focuses more on development of all the three learning domains, contradictory to the traditional teaching learning process which focuses more on development of the cognitive domain and psychomotor domain only. According to the World Bank Report, the modern volatile and complex world demands from the engineers the core employability skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innovation, collaboration skill, communication skill which must be developed and honed during the course tenure so that they could become competent global engineers [2] [3]. This paper brings forth the out of box thinking and implementation concept of the OBE for UG program, through activity based students’ engagement, specially designed activity to achieve Programme Educational Outcomes (PEOs), Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). It intends to solve the problem of large classes through the implementation of the FLIP classroom model. A six month activity based teaching learning model had been adopted for different streams, involving more than 1500 engineering students. The outcome/s achieved by each activity had been termed as Activity Outcomes (AOs). This paper discusses the problems encountered during the implementation of OBE frame work for large class [4] in context with Indian environment and also strives to provide some methods to implement activity based learning to achieve desirable outcomes.

Abstract:
The recent years have witnessed a new generation of Makers working with new ways of knowledge generation for creation and sharing of digital and physical products. While this development has started within collaborative and grass roots organised networks; educational institutions have also embraced it by opening makerspaces and adopting elements of the Maker Movement in their offerings. This paper investigates how university driven makerspaces can affect engineering design and product development education trough a case study. We provide our findings based on interviews and data collected from educators, students the administrative and workshop staff of the makerspace. The findings are used to outline the challenges in incorporating the offerings of makerspaces. By discussing these challenges we identify opportunities for turning university makerspaces into innovation hubs and platforms that can support engineering design education.

Abstract:
The UK government’s Integrated Review of security, defence, development and foreign policy, published in March 2021 alongside a supporting defence command paper, set a new course for UK national security and highlighted opportunities for an innovative approach to international engagement activity. The Integrated Review focused principally on the state threats posed by China’s increasing power and by competitors – including Russia – armed with nuclear, conventional and hybrid capabilities. It also stressed the continuing risks to global security and resilience due to conflict and instability in weakened and failed states. These threats have the potential to increase poverty and inequality, violent extremism, climate degradation and the forced displacement of people, while presenting authoritarian competitors with opportunities to enhance their geopolitical influence. There are moral, security and economic motives to foster durable peace in conflict-prone and weakened regions through a peacebuilding approach that promotes good governance, addresses the root causes of conflict and prevents violence, while denying opportunities to state competitors. The recent withdrawal from Afghanistan serves to emphasize the complexities and potential pitfalls associated with intervention operations in complex, unstable regions. Success in the future will require the full, sustained and coordinated integration of national, allied and regional levers of power underpinned by a sophisticated understanding of the operating environment. The UK armed forces, with their considerable resources and global network, will contribute to this effort through ‘persistent engagement’. This is a new approach to overseas operations below the threshold of conflict, designed as a pre-emptive complement to warfighting. To achieve this, the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) must develop a capability that can operate effectively in weak, unstable and complex regions prone to violent conflict and crises, not least in the regions on the eastern and southern flanks of the Euro-Atlantic area. The first step must be the development of a cohort of military personnel with enhanced, tailored levels of knowledge, skills and experience. Engagement roles must be filled by operators with specialist knowledge, skills and experience forged beyond the mainstream discipline of combat and warfighting. Only then will individuals develop a genuinely sophisticated understanding of complex, politically driven and sensitive operating environments and be able to infuse the design and delivery of international activities with practical wisdom and insight. Engagement personnel need to be equipped with: An inherent understanding of the human and political dimensions of conflict, the underlying drivers such as inequality and scarcity, and the exacerbating factors such as climate change and migration; - A grounding in social sciences and conflict modelling in order to understand complex human terrain; - Regional expertise enabled by language skills, cultural intelligence and human networks; - Familiarity with a diverse range of partners, allies and local actors and their approaches; - Expertise in building partner capacity and applying defence capabilities to deliver stability and peace; - A grasp of emerging artificial intelligence technology as a tool to understand human terrain; - Reach and insight developed through ‘knowledge networks’ of external experts in academia, think-tanks and NGOs. Successful change will be dependent on strong and overt advocacy by the MOD’s senior leadership and a revised set of personnel policies and procedures for this cohort’s selection, education, training, career management, incentivization, sustainability and support.
