- Title
Triple Helix for Communication of Innovations: Case Study of Bt Cotton in India.

- Abstract
In the past few decades regulation of biotechnology has posed essential challenges towards the imagination of technoscientific innovations in the world. The case becomes increasingly urgent in the regulation of agribiotechnology at the grassroots level, and is attributed more often to the lack of proper information. The Triple Helix of university-industry-government is seen as a key to innovation and the socio-economic development in knowledge societies. A lot of Triple Helix literature emphasises on knowledge creation, exchange and use at research and development level, with very little focus on the diffusion and use of that knowledge. With the increasing trends towards knowledge capitalisation and use in sophisticated technologies, it has been observed that communication of innovations with the end users is essential to maximise returns. This article is an attempt to understand the local level interaction among the actors of the Triple Helix spiral as well as the 'public'. The article argues that a proper mechanism to channel this interaction may yield useful implications for communication of innovations at the local level.
