**(a)	to (e):	The Government has brought out a national report entitled “Understanding Innovation: National Innovation Survey 2014”. The report is based on the analysis of sample survey of 9001 firms, largely Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) spread across 26 States and 5 Union Territories across various industrial sectors in the country. It uses a subjective approach, where firms or production units are the reference points of study rather than the identifying innovation. The report benchmarks innovation potentiality of Indian firms in terms of innovation activities, sources of innovation, linkages, human resource effects and factors affecting innovation activities. The report has been widely discussed with various stakeholders in the country and has been transmitted to the concerned Ministry for devising appropriate policy measures in strengthening the innovation eco-system. The funds granted by the Government to innovators to scale up their projects by the various departments of Ministry of Science and Technology is at Annexure-A.**
