SRISTI
SRISTI (Society
for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions),
which means creation, was born in 1993, essentially to support the activities
of the Honey Bee Network to recognize, respect and reward creativity at the grassroots.
The objectives were: systematic documentation, dissemination of, and value
addition in grassroots green innovations, providing them intellectual property
rights protection and risk capital support besides helping in the in situ
and ex situ conservation of local
biodiversity and associated knowledge system. SRISTI is devoted to empowering
the knowledge rich but economically poor people by adding value in their
contemporary creativity as well as traditional knowledge. Linking formal and informal
science was one of the major objectives. It has helped to establish GIAN, NIF,
MVIF and AASTIIK in support of innovators and their innovations. SRISTI created
the Honey Bee database of innovations, and supports the publication of the
Network’s newsletter in nine languages. These are: Honeybee (English), Gujarati
(Loksarvani), Hindi (Sujh-Bujh, Aas Paas Ki), Tamil (Nam Vazhi Velanmai),
Kannada (Hittalagida), Telugu (Palle Srujana), Malayalam (Ini Karshakan
Samsarikkatte ), Oriya (Aama Akha Pakha) and Marathi (Mrudgandh).

SRISTI is now
focusing in more concerted ways on hitherto neglected domains like women’s
knowledge systems, value addition through a Sadbhav-sristi-sanshodhan, a natural
product laboratory, and innovations in education, culture and institutions. However,
ethical fulcrum of its activities can be captured by eight E’s ( Ethics, empathy, equity, efficiency, excellence,
environment, education and entrepreneurship) –the values that are central
to the existence of Honey Bee Network. SRISTI organises Shodh Yatra (Journey of
Exploration) twice a year, Traditional food festival, Recipe competition,
Biodiversity competition and maintains the database of Innovations and Traditional
Knowledge. SRISTI has been advocating for
the last twenty five years [protecting knowledge right of creative communities
and individuals. SRISTI had organised several consultative sessions with the
private sector, scientists, activists and development workers for discussing
various issues related to the access to bio-diversity and associated knowledge
rights. It has also organised worldwide contest for scouting and rewarding
innovations at Grassroots with IFAD, Rome. Techpedia.in, another initiative of SRISTI,
aims at putting the problems of micro, small and medium enterprises, informal
sector, grassroots innovators and other social sectors on the agenda of the
young technology students across the country. SRISTI is providing a platform
for the industry and academic institutions to collaborate, co-create and foster
distributed innovations and promote horizontal learning and sharing. To promote
a culture of innovation among the young minds of the country, SRISTI has
established three categories of national awards for innovative student/ faculty
projects in engineering, pharmacy, biotechnology, basic science and other applied
technologies in the form of Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Award
(GYTI) since 2012. SRISTI Samman is given periodically to outstanding social
change agents. SRISTI is trying to build an online
Sanctuary of social, technological and institutional Innovations through blend
of open innovation, collaborative design, crowd-funding, incubation, e-commerce
and challenge awards.
