Innovations in agriculture sector are essential for sustainable agricultural growth to meet the

challenge of reduction in production cost and human drudgery and to ensure protection of

natural resources. The innovations and technologies need to be effectively managed to derive the

maximum benefit from them. The onus of accelerating innovations and commercialization of

agricultural engineering technologies lies with the institute.

The establishment of Business Planning and Development Unit (BPD) under the aegis of

National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research

(ICAR) was a major and timely step taken in this direction. The unit has taken all initiatives for

accelerating the pace of innovation, inculcating spirit of entrepreneurship and extending required

support to the farmers, entrepreneurs, start-ups & small-scale industries.

In the short span of about one year, the project has shown significant progress with regard to

physical and financial targets and technical objectives as highlighted by the performance

indicators mentioned in the report. Some of the major achievements include commercialization

of five important technologies, start up of nearly 95 business enterprises on custom hiring of

agricultural machinery and on soybean processing following the training imparted under BPD

unit, filing of patents and copyrights, organization of several important events including

International Conference onAgri-Business Management, CAD-CAM Workshop for agricultural

machinery manufacturers, Awareness Workshop on business opportunities in agriculture sector,

interaction meet and , and participation in a number of regional, national

and international exhibitions. Most of the targets set have been achieved and revenue of

approximately Rs. 37.41 lakh has been generated.

I believe that if project is continued in future, the BPD Unit would further consolidate its

activities to provide an effective platform for expeditious transfer and commercialization of

agricultural engineering technologies developed at CIAE as well as other ICAR institutes. It

would ensure the much needed critical support to concerned stakeholders and become a credible

one stop shop for rapid technological advancement and diffusion related to engineering

interventions in agriculture. I compliment the team BPD-CIAE for their sincere efforts.

The Business Planning and Development Unit (BPD) was set up at Central Institute of Agricultural

Engineering, Bhopal on May 21, 2013 under the aegis of National Agricultural Innovation Project

(NAIP) of ICAR. The major objective was to promote entrepreneurship and business opportunities

through promotion and commercialization of agricultural engineering based technologies developed at

CIAE as well as other NARS institutes. Abudget of Rs. 171.48 lakh was sanctioned for the first year.

During this period of about little over one year, considerable progress was made and set goals were

achieved. The contractual staff of Team-BPD was recruited successfully followed by their orientation and

training at different institutes such as at TNAU (for ICRISAT coordinated training), at NAARM, Ag-In,

and other BPDs. This has helped them to better understand the concept and methodology of NAIP's BPD

project. The Launch workshop of BPD-CIAE was organized on August 6, 2013, which was graced by the

ND and NC, NAIP and the DDG (Engg). Further, one International Conference on Agri-Business

Management was conducted successfully under PPP mode, one interaction meet of stakeholders, one

and couple of awareness workshops and business meets were organized to scout

for potential entrepreneurs. Under capacity building, 327 potential entrepreneurs were trained and about

95 have started their units mainly for custom hiring of agricultural machinery, soybean processing and

manufacturing of agricultural machinery. The guidelines for BPD-CIAE membership and for licensing of

technologies were worked out. Five technologies were commercialized and licensed to suitable firms. The

BPD Unit also successfully displayed engineering technologies at national / international exhibitions

including two-meets organized by the Ag-In (an ICAR company). The equipment purchased was nearly

56% despite several constraints. Revenue of about Rs. 37.41 lakh has been generated. Two patents and two

copy right applications were filed, out of which one copyright was granted and others are in process.

Several relevant and useful publications including one calendar depicting potential technologies a

number of other relevant and useful information brochures and flyers were published and a website on

BPD Unit initiatives, activities, services and as agricultural engineering technology information portal

was developed

In future, funding would be required to further continue utilization of facilities and human

resource developed to undertake BPD activities initiated so far. The Unit would continue its efforts to

popularize and commercialize the agricultural engineering technologies, conduct EDP training and

interaction workshops, extend incubation services, and support potential entrepreneurs in all manners

possible. For this support from CIAE/ICAR would be essentially required until BPD-CIAE become

financially self sustainable.

1. Introduction

2. Overall Sub-project Objectives

3. Sub-project Technical Profile

The CIAE has achieved recognition as the pioneering research institute in the field of agricultural

engineering, through its three and half decades of existence. The institute has developed technologies for

farm mechanization, post harvest management and value addition, energy management in agriculture and

harnessing the potential of natural resources. Improvement in profitability of agriculture along with reduced

drudgery is much needed incentives for farmers and farm workers. Recent surveys have amply established

the fact that low profitability of present day agriculture coupled with human drudgery and uncertainty are the

reasons that are discouraging the younger generation to go for farming. It has been shown that through

engineering interventions, up to 15% increase in productivity and a reduction of 20% in cost of cultivation can

be achieved as these interventions enhance input use efficiency and assure higher returns to the farmers. This

helps to generate backward linkages with farmers and provide gainful employment to rural youth.

It has been felt necessary to commercialize agri-engineering technologies through small and large sized

business units so as to ensure their availability at national level, for effective transfer and adoption at farmers'

level. Business Planning and Development Unit at CIAE, Bhopal was launched with this much felt need.

The BPD CIAE unit was expected to provide interaction among the stake holders, technology based

Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDPs), commercialization and business incubation services

on proven as well as potential technologies through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) mode. The BPD Unit

also aimed to promote and inculcate entrepreneurial attitude as well as to raise awareness about the opportuni-

ties for entrepreneurship using agricultural engineering technologies into the local business environment of

the end users. With this background, the BPD unit was setup at CIAE, Bhopal.

The major objectives of the BPD were as follows;

Promote technopreneurs

Facilitate technology commercialization

Training, capacity building and consultancy on technopreneurship management

Above objectives were set for business incubation units on custom hiring and manufacturing of agricul-

tural machinery & other agricultural engineering based technologies such as agro produce processing &

value addition, biomass based power generation and covered cultivation.

Promote technopreneurs

There are number of proven technologies and economically viable business units available at CIAE,

and initially, from four major areas of agricultural engineering, following business incubation units

(BIU) were taken up:

by entrepreneurs leading to setting-up of viable agri-business enterprises in future through the period of this

project.

Technopreneurs can set up their own business enterprise based on agri-engineering technologies

through using the CIAE BIUs and training support at CIAE and later may decide to set up their own enterprise

for income and self employment. Novel ideas of farmers and budding innovators could also be scrutinized,

tested and developed in to useful innovation.

Facilitate technology commercialization

A number of relevant and useful agricultural engineering technologies have been developed by CIAE

as well as by other NARS institutions working with similar mandate. However, many of these technologies

have not reached to the end users due to their non-commercialization. Hence, for effective commercializa-

tion, creation of awareness, interaction among stakeholders, and promoting partnership with manufacturers

and industry for manufacturing and commercialization of these useful technologies was needed to be

attempted. A database needed to be created in the categories of technologies commercialized, ready to com-

mercialize and new needed technologies.

Commercialization of minimum of one technology up to March 31, 2014.

5.11 Design & Development of Technology Information Portal on BPD-CIAE Website

During last four decades a number of agricultural equipment, machinery and technologies have been

developed by CIAE, other ICAR institutes and the SAUs. There have been constraints in commercial-

ization of these technologies as the potential and prospective entrepreneurs were not aware of the

developed equipment, machinery and the technologies. Database and information on agricultural

engineering technologies has been lacking and there is need to have database on national & interna-

tional technologies available, along with the manufacturers, standard parts of agricultural machinery,

and their availability sources. Further, such data should be available through used friendly mode such as

internet, mobile, SMS, email etc.

Considering the need, BPD-CIAE has designed & developed a website which serves the user friendly

retrieval of information about commercialized and ready to be commercialized agricultural

engineering technologies. Any user can directly access the useful information about various

agricultural engineering technologies online for planning and development of their business. It also

functions as single window information portal on product/technology suppliers, and advisory on

feasibility of few agri-businesses. The address of website is bpd.ciae.res.in.

10. Status on Environmental and Social Safeguard Framework

1. Constraints, if any and Remedial Measures Taken

NA at this stage.

Short time for civil work & procurement of equipment: The project had effectively only six months for

procurement of equipment and civil works. Hence, very limited time was available for procurement of

equipment and many of the equipments could not be procured. Second attempt could not be made for all

failed bids. Many DGS&D rate contracts were just not available due to fluctuating rates of USD to INR.

Also for few of the orders placed, concerned vendors failed to supply. Non-purchase of some of the

critical equipment & civil work may be constraint in future activity.

Four items, which were not quoted by any vendor or received less than three quotes were manufactured

in Prototype Production Centre (PPC) of the Institute itself. Methodology of purchase via DGS&D

Rate Contracts was adopted in few cases. Purchase of few items costing more than 10% the estimated

price was done from the savings within the approved budget after due approval from concerned

authority.

21. Steps Undertaken for Post NAIP Sustainability

22. Possible Future Line of Work

The BPD-CIAE unit was initially approved for up to March 2017. It was being expected that the

recurring costs would be available from CIAE/ICAR Budget. However, as on date the BPD units have

been intruped and need to be operated from institute budge or alternatively, if permitted, the revenue

generated can be used towards the salaries of the contractual staff and operating costs to continue the

mandated activities after June 30, 2014. If continued, BPD Unit would undertake its activities towards

its mandated goal with more vigour in the coming years. Following sources for possible revenue

generation have been identified to meet the expenses:

Licensing of CIAE technologies, equipment leasing, custom hiring, incubation charges,

technology, prototype production/fee for converting idea in to prototype etc. Fee for trainings on

agricultural machinery manufacturing, soy products, bakery enterprise, Dal Milling, Agro-

produce production, briquette manufacturing techniques, methodology of power generation from

biomass, Cattle & Aqua Feed making etc. will be charged. Fee would be charged for participation

in Entrepreneurship Development Programmes, CAD-CAM Workshops, vendors becoming

registered member of Unit for availing the services etc.

Membership fee/ Technology Commercialization fee/ License fee/ royalty etc. would be revenue

generation sources. Suitable technologies for this purpose have been identified and enlisted.

CIAE-BPD services on equipment testing etc. DPR preparation.

Consultancy to clients and services for IPR issues.

Contractual and Collaborative Research.

The Business Planning and Development Unit was established at CIAE Bhopal under NAIP a year ago.

The major objective was to give boost to the effective transfer and commercialization of agricultural

engineering based technologies developed by different institutes under NARS in general and CIAE in

particular. Further, it was intended that the concept of Public–Private–Partnership (PPP) mode is

promoted so that useful and relevant technologies developed by R&D institute reach to the end user in

effective manner through involvement of private sector at an affordable cost. Further capacity building

of interested, potential and budding entrepreneurs through business incubation so that business

enterprises are set up based on agricultural engineering technologies leading to income and

employment generation.

The BPD-CIAE has made significant progress and achievements vis-à-vis the set targets and objectives

in short time span of one year. One of the major achievements has been the change in the mindset and

attitude of the organization in general and the researchers in particular, which now look forward to

commercialization of their developed technology and see their developed products on the market

shelves. This has helped in commercialization of five CIAE technologies, setting up of 95 enterprises

based on the training imparted by BPD-CIAE for setting up of custom hiring of agricultural machinery

as an enterprise, taking in hand two consultancy projects, filing of two patents and two copy rights

based on the novel technologies developed by the scientists.

Further, infrastructural facilities in the form of five business Incubation Units for use in future by

prospective incubates and human resource have been developed. Linkages have been developed with

manufacturers, industries, organizations including Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers

Association, Food Processing Industries, Banks, MSME, CEDMAP, NGOs, SHGs, Govt. of Madhya

Pradesh, media and news agencies. Eight companies, three NGOs and nearly 25 individuals have been

interacted for possible business support & services.

Hence, now the time is ripe to build and reap on these achievements for the further benefit of all

stakeholders in years to come. For this it is essential that the set up BPD unit is not only continued but is

further strengthened and consolidated. The returns and rewards would be much more than those made

in the first year. If this activity is interrupted or discontinued, there is likelihood of loss of momentum,

loss of developed human resource and most importantly the change in the mind set and attitude

developed through this BPD unit need to be sustained in the best interest of the growth of Indian

agriculture and its allied activities and business opportunities which help poorest of the farmers to get

fair share of income from agriculture through processing and value addition and entrepreneurship

development. Hence, it is recommended that this activity is continued.
