AKRUTI Tech Pack is made of four technologies and one optional technology and a consultancy service as given below:

To enable and encourage techno- entrepreneurship in the villages, all those who desire to start activity in villages can avail these technologies at an affordable cost.  To quick start the activity, some of the products can be purchased by them either from operational AKRUTIs or from industries as they find suitable and deploy them in the region.  Based on the experience gained, they can spread the activities in surrounding villages by deploying them in rural sector through local techno-preneurship or themselves with the technical know-how received under this programme for deployment.

In order to encourage locals from rural areas and also urban entrepreneurs to start this activity in rural sector at an affordable price, concession in technology transfer fee is offered for `AKRUTI Tech Pack’ to be deployed in rural sector.   Under DAE-Societal Initiative to promote large scale deployment of BARC technologies and to encourage potential techno-preneurs in rural sector, it is provided for the deployer in the rural area at half  the charges of normal technology transfer fee.

All the four technologies mentioned above are offered together under AKRUTI Tech Pack.  Only one technology will not be made available separately under this scheme of concession.      

Further, in addition to the above, one technology is offered as option to choose based on the financial capacity of the entrepreneur. Domestic Water Purifier (DWP), which provides bacteria free water without electricity use offered at half the rate of normal technology transfer fee.

The minimum of two activities from the  technologies indicated above are required to be deployed in the rural area within one year of the date of agreement.

Radiation technology can be effectively used in conserving agriculture produce, improving food safety and enhancing international trade by overcoming trade barriers caused by the presence of quarantine insect pests and microbes in agricultural commodities.  Major technological benefits that can be achieved are disinfestations of insect pests, inhibition of sprouting, delay in ripening and destruction of microbes creating food spoilage.  This leads to increase of storage life, hygiene and safety.  It is desired to increase the awareness of these benefits in urban as well as rural sector.

In order to promote this awareness in rural sector, radiation processing consultancy service will be provided to the holders of AKRUTI Tech Pack for carrying free trial sample irradiations of products available in their regions.

Women Entrepreneurs (WEs) are further encouraged by providing additional 10% concession on AKRUTI Tech Pack deployment charges with other conditions remaining same.
