Technology innovation and its diffusion are very important for manufacturing sectors and service industries. Government of India has recently launched the campaign “Make in India” to create innovation and investment friendly environment in the country and is taking new policy initiatives to spread globally competitive technologies for enabling the country to become a strong manufacturing hub.
