Srujan
Grassroots Innovation & Prototype Development Seed Grant
Srujan supports grassroots innovators, engineering students, and independent tech pioneers with seed grants up to ₹10 Lakhs to transition concepts into physical, testable prototypes.
📋Scheme Overview & Core Objectives
The Srujan scheme is designed to fund the most vulnerable phase of product development: the transition from laboratory concept or garage design to a functional working prototype.
Administered through regional innovation hubs and science councils, Srujan eliminates the risk of promising indigenous inventions dying out due to lack of raw material or fabrication funds.
Funding covers raw materials, 3D printing, testing, circuit design, third-party lab certifications, and patent drafting fees.
