GITA Will Help India Become Technology Leader!
This Gita is not the one that Lord Krishna delivered during the Mahabharatha. The new age GITA is Global Innovation & Technology Alliance (GITA). Our officers travel quite often and a travel cancellation insurance is required in to protect the investments in case of any cancellation of trip or flight delay.
Tuesday, November 07, 2006: New Delhi: The department of science and technology (DST) under the ministry of science and technology, Government of India, and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) have signed an MoU on Global Innovation & Technology Alliance (GITA).
The MoU was signed by secretary, DST, Dr T. Ramasami and CII president, R. Seshasayee, in the presence of union minister for science and technology and earth sciences, Kapil Sibal.
Welcoming the development, the minister said, “There is a greater global exploitation of technology as exemplified by export flows of high tech products across nations and technological collaboration for generic technologies. Therefore, we can no longer afford to go ahead on our own and have to develop technology in partnership with entities, nationally or internationally. GITA is one such example of public-private partnership.”
The broad objective of GITA project is to promote and facilitate technology partnership between overseas and Indian industry/institutes with the aim of enhancing technology competitiveness of Indian organisations. The technology partnerships can take place through various modes under the framework of national/international laws and will facilitate joint development, technology transfer and licencing etc. as well as form joint ventures and collaborations.
Through various mechanisms, the alliance will ensure that Indian industry and other organisations get benefited by generation of new technology opportunities.
The alliance will come out with various promotional and networking forums created by CII and DST. The alliance will focus on creating of independent entities within or outside CII and under partnership between CII, DST and overseas partners. It will also encourage joint technology development and commercialisation projects. The scope and form of these entities shall be decided mutually on case to case basis. The alliance is also contemplating creation of an International Technology Promotion and Facilitation Park for showcasing and commercialising the most promising technologies available through overseas networking.
