RuTAG is a synergizing and catalyzing mechanism
RuTAG is conceived of as a mechanism to provide a
higher level of ST intervention and support,
than hitherto achieved

This intervention which is essentially
demand-driven, could be for technology up
gradation, technology training and demonstration
or through any other innovative method

RuTAG is not a major funding mechanism. It can,
however, also provide help and advice in seeking
funds from other agencies
