Each programme component of TPDU is unique and is directed towards a specific need of the industry, not addressed by any other government department/agency. For example, the Industrial R&D Promotion Programme operationalizes fiscal incentives and other support measures, announced by the government from time to time and encourages industry to carry out R&D; the Technology Development and Innovation Programme provides grants to industry and collaborating agencies, as partial support, for development of new product/process technology and also promotes studies, R&D/technology related interactions in the industrial sector; the International Technology Transfer Programme promotes international technology transfer and trade; the Consultancy Promotion Programme strengthens industrial consultancy capabilities; the Technology Management Programme facilitates technology transfer and management; and the Industrial R&D and Technology Information Facilitation Programme promotes development of endogenous information capacities to support R&D.
With a view to encourage greater interaction of industry and R&D establishments with DSIR, some of the success stories of DSIR initiatives are scheduled to feature on the Vigyan Lok Programme telecast on Doordarshan National Channel (DD-1-Delhi) on Saturdays during 19.30-20.00 hours.
