CSIR has announced awards for school children that come up with patentable inventions. Key criteria are that the invention should be novel, non-obvious, and useful. Proof of concept through a model, prototype or experimental data is also required. We can also give you feedback on ideas you may have as to whether in our opinion they satisfy these criterion. Take a look at the poster below for details. Last date for applications is 31st October 2010.
