(TePP)
A novel programme initiated earlier by
Ministry of Science and Technology and
operated by DSIR to tap the innovative

15. (TePP Support)
The individual must have an innovative
idea/project, which has the potential of

17. 1. TePP Phase I ELIGIBILITY
(innovation incubation):
1.1 Micro Technopreneurship Any independent innovator testing radically new
Support(TS) ideas, to prove functionality by
(Max support Rs 0.75 lakhs) a lab/computer/mathematical model,
and
applying for patenting etc.
1.2 TePP Project Fund (TPF)
(Max support Rs 15 lakhs) Any independent innovator/ start-up firm for
developing functional prototypes
(to convert an original idea/invention/know-
how into working prototype/process and
proposals to demonstrate novel delivery models
to take S&T innovations to rural India )
DSIR/Dr.K.Kamal/2002-2003
18. Mechanism
•The evaluated proposals are put forth to TePP Screening Committee
(TSC) for consideration. Applicant may also be given an opportunity to
