Old Time Industries
Though rom time immemorial the main occupation o the
people o the district has been agriculture yet the accounts o
Bana Bhat and the Chinese Traveller Yuan Chuang also suggest
development o some industries in the region now comprising
Kurukshetra district
From the re erence to the di erent variety o clothes by Bana
in Harish harita it is evident that textile industry was advanced in
7th
century AD1 Some evidence o development o metal industry is
also available Some o the household utensils were made o brass and
copper The war implements such as spear shield sword saber and
arrow were made o iron Bana also in orms that the swords were so
inely polished that they could also be utilized as mirrors Queen
Yasomati is said to have seen her ace in the blade o sword2
At the time o marriage ceremony o Rajyasri sister o Harsha
a number o gold workers were engaged in hammering gold which
was used or making work o arts Several artists such as carpenters
leather workers designers modelers ivory workers painters and
dyers were also invited Bana also describes Sthanvishvara (Thanesar)
as known or artisans3 But or these re erences nothing certain is
known about the development o industries in the district in ancient
period
As the district had to ace onslaught o oreign invaders during
medieval period industrial development achieved during Harsharsquos
period su ered a lot However the cottage industries which met the
local needs o the people o villages and towns survived

handicra ts Lockwood kipling Principal Lahore School o Arts
described this as ollows-
ldquoShahabad is spoken of as excelling in some handicrafts but
they seem to be practised by one or two individuals only Two
silversmiths from this place contributed to the Exhibition of
1882 very good specimens of chiselled silver such as open
work bracelets set with turquoises and belt clasps of excellent
though somewhat minute workmanship They are also the best
seal engravers in the Province being capable of cutting
intaglios of armorial and other subjects as well as the usual
Persian writing for signet rings Here also is a virtuoso in the
manufacturing of musical instruments such as saringis
Tamburas etc Mulberry and tunx are the woods generally
employed an ivory carving and inlay with wood-carving in
low relief are freely introduced He has also produced the
pique inlay known in Bombay work-boxes made by arranging
tiny rods of metal sandalwood and particloured ivory of
geometric section in patterns which are glued up and then
sawn across in sections each section like a slice of the
English sweet meat called lsquoRockrsquo being a repetition of the
pattern ready for insertion in a ground From the same place
from time to time specimens of one of the many puerilities in
which native ingenuity and skill are so often wasted are sent
This is a sort of paper lace-writing paper cut into a dainty
open work of foliage and other forms with great delicacy and

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher
value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher
value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and

DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher
value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and
policy measures including tax related incentives to the industrial units

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher
value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and
policy measures including tax related incentives to the industrial units

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher
value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and
policy measures including tax related incentives to the industrial units

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher
value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher
value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed

TECHNOLOGY GENE ATION TH OUGH ESEACH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Two main inductors o technology activity are R and D
investment and patenting In general it is seen that countries excel in
R and D investment and patenting also excel in exports A patent can
be seen as the basic product o technology activity which includes
R and D investment It is an intangible asset It gives its holder a
monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to
e iciently apply new technologies in their development The trend in
declining share o developing countries in both R and D investment as
well as global distribution o technology lows may have a negative
impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
There ore measures shall be evolved to support SMEs in their
technology upgradation e orts and thrust shall be on export o higher
value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and

monopoly and has market value The patent recognizes an invention
which may be in industrial process or or a new product or material
The growing neglect o innovation activities by developing
countries is likely to have serious consequences or their ability to

impact on their competitiveness and this needs to be reversed
