MDI: A

The Science Parks and similar initiatives help in creating an atmosphere for innovation
and entrepreneurship; for active interaction between academic institutions and industries
for sharing ideas, knowledge, experience and facilities for the development of new
technologies and their rapid transfer to the end user.
The Science & Technology Entrepreneurs Park (STEP) programme was initiated to
provide a re-orientation in the approach to innovation and entrepreneurship involving
education, training, research, finance, management and the government. A STEP creates
the necessary climate for innovation, information exchange, sharing of experience and
facilities and opening new avenues for students, teachers, researchers and industrial
managers to grow in a trans-disciplinary culture, each understanding and depending on
the other's inputs for starting a successful economic venture. STEPs are hardware
intensive with emphasis on common facilities, services and relevant equipments.
The major objectives of STEP are to forge linkages among academic and R&D
institutions on one hand and the industry on the other and also promote innovative
enterprise through S&T persons.
Objectives
The department has so far catalysed 15 STEPs in different parts of the country, which
have promoted nearly 788 units generating annual turnover of around Rs. 130 crores and
employment for 5000 persons. More than 100 new products and technologies have been
developed by the STEPs / STEP promoted entrepreneurs. In addition, over 11000 persons
have been trained through various skill development programmes conducted by STEPs.
STEPs are autonomous bodies registered as societies under the Societies Registration
Act.
In order to achieve synergetic benefits and also to harness the knowledge and expertise
available in academic and R&D institutions of excellence, every STEP needs to be
promoted around a host institution which could launch, sustain and help the STEP grow.
Therefore, the host institution has to play an important and crucial role in promotion and
growth of a STEP.
The host institution should aim at optimum usage of its facility by STEP. For this
purpose, a periodic assessment of the priorities must be undertaken based on which re-
allocation of resources might become necessary. During the stages of planning and
implementation of the STEP project, the host institution must not lose sight of its slated
goals and objectives with respect to academic excellence.
STEP Model
Each project envisages active involvement and participation of agencies such as the host
institution, ultimate user of the facilities, financial institutions, government agencies and
STEP management.
