H.K. Mittal, Advisor, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, speaking at the inauguration of national seminar on ‘Technology Integration- Problems and Prospects for Small and Medium Industry/Business’, at G.R. Damodaran Academy of Management in Neelambur, near Coimbatore, recently.About 75 per cent of the population in India is untouched by the growth the country has been witnessing in the last five years, H.K. Mittal, Advisor and Head, Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi, said here recently.

Speaking at the inaugural of a seminar on “Technology Integration – Problems and Prospects in Small and Medium Scale Business,” at G.R. Damodaran Academy of Management, he said that growth was concentrated in certain pockets of the country. Our cities were growing at a rate of 30 to 40 per cent.If the same rate of growth had taken place in Small and Medium Enterprises, the growth would have been more uniform, he said.The faculty played an important role in bringing innovation into the teaching methodology. They should give opportunities that would encourage the use of technology and innovative methods.

In India there was a National Innovation Foundation which had documented more than 60,000 ideas.According to Mr. Mittal, Pune and Coimbatore were the most innovative cities in the country. “If technology is backed by innovative managerial practices, it will yield good results,” Mr. Mittal said.K. Thangaraj, Chairman, Confederation of Indian Industry, Coimbatore Zone, and D. Padmanabhan, Correspondent, G.R. Damodaran Academy of Management, spoke.
