The National Manufacturing Innovation Survey (NMIS) 2021-22 has ranked Karnataka as the most “innovative” State.
It is a joint study by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
Karnataka was followed by Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu.
Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu had the highest share of innovative firms at 46.18%, 39.10% and 31.90%, respectively, with Odisha, Bihar, and Jharkhand reporting the lowest share of such firms at 12.78%, 13.47% and 13.71%, respectively.
Gujarat and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu reported the highest frequencies of barriers to innovation.
Nearly three-fourths of the 8,000-odd firms surveyed, most of them micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME), neither made any innovative product nor business process innovation during the survey period of financial years 2017-2020.
The first National Innovation Survey was held in 2011.
