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

century Shahabad was amous or some o its

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

INTE EST SUBSIDY SCHEME UDNE MODE NIZATION

P OG AMME

The SME sector has played an important role in making the

country sel - su icient in a number o items but many o the units are

still operating without dated technology using equipment o old

designs which are less productive As a consequence the industry is

aced with high cost o production poor quality and low productivity

With the consumer becoming more quality conscious the small and

medium scale industry has keep abreast with the latest appropriate

and relevant technology in their ield o operation to remain

competitive in the market Technology upgradation and modernization

have become imperative or the SMEs to keep their share live in the

market

Technology upgradation would ordinarily mean induction o

State-o -the-art or near State-o -the-art-technology Accordingly

technology levels are bench marked in terms o machineryprocess

technology levels lower than that speci ied in the diagnostic study will

not be permitted or unding under the scheme

In order to encourage small and medium industrial units to

adopt modern techniques by way o purchase o modern machines

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

value added products and services Strategic policy interventions and

policy measures including tax related incentives to the industrial units

undertaking Research and Development have been announced by

Govt o India

Under this scheme the society shall provide incentives to the

SME industrial units o Haryana who are awarded patents or the

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
