Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Science & Technology had initiated a Project on ‘Promoting Innovative Clusters’ (PIC), among others, in the Life Sciences Clusters of Gujarat, Foundation for MSME Clusters (FMC) being the implementing agency. PIC was initiated with a vision to promote innovation, development and commercialization among MSME clusters. While the Project (PIC) feels the importance of promoting the local eco system in Gujarat, it also recognizes the importance of promoting the community of innovators throughout India to further strengthen this process. It was found that there is lack of enabling conditions for promotions of start-ups in Medical Device Industry.

“SAHAJANAND LASER TECHNOLOGY SUSHRUTA INNOVATION AWARD (SIA) 2011-12” was an All India Competition for Biomedical Engineering Students, (along with a special category for the Bio-Medical Engineering Institutes and Medical Colleges of Gujarat State).

Brief of the activities taken place : SLT SIA 2012 had been promoted to 100 Biomedical and Medical Electronics Engineering Colleges all over Indian and 5 Medical Colleges in Gujarat. Out of the 125 entries received from entire India, 30 groups, including 10 from Gujarat, were selected and were called for the presentation. Based on presentations, 14 Groups (including 4 from Gujarat Category) were selected and were supported up to Rs. 40,000/- for prototype development.

Finally, it was arranged for 14 groups to exhibit their project on international platform in Medical Fair organized by Messe Dusseldorf India at Mumbai 0n 2-4 March 2012.

Award Ceremony (3rd March 2012) : Sahajanand Laser Technology Sushruta Innovation Award was received by the best 2 prototypes out of these 10 selected from all India level and the best 2 prototypes of the 4 prototypes form Gujarat, as decided by the panel of Jury will receive Sahajanand Laser Technology Sushruta Innovation Award. The cash prize for all India level was Rs. 50,000/- (1st Prize) and Rs. 40,000/- (2nd Prize). The award for the special Gujarat Category was Rs. 25,000/- 1st Prize and Rs. 20,000/- 2nd Prize. The academic faculty involved in supporting the winning teams were also awarded by a cash prize of Rs. 20,000/- each.
