A bunch of technologies have been developed by various research institutions and laboratories. But, the benefits of these technologies have failed to reach the rural population. The villagers could not adopt these modern technologies and implement to improve productivity, and, in turn, their quality of life, since the process of transfer was not undertaken in a planned manner. It is in this context that the Community Polytechnics play a very significant role. This is done systematically by:

i. Collecting details of all available appropriate technologies from various agencies and organizations engaged in research and development of appropriate technologies through TTTIs and by other means, adapting them to suit local conditions with regular and relevant feedback from Extension Centers and disseminating, through demonstrations, these technologies in villages and thus helping villagers to appreciate and adopt technological innovations.
ii. Creating awareness among the villagers about the new advances made in the field of S & T and educating, training and motivating them in acquiring skills required to use these techniques and also technologies in the field of Energy, Rural Water Supply, Sanitation, Shelter, Habitat, Communication & transportation, Agro- based and Non-conventional rural Energy Sources, Construction and Service Sector, etc.
iii. Helping the villagers through the technical services and support services, to install, maintain, and sustain appropriate technologies like agriculture implements, energy devices, rural housing, suitable transportation and water management in rural environment.
iv. Developing innovative strategies for mass involvement of rural people for transfer and to sustain technologies far and wide.
v. Assisting establishment of display cum demonstration centers in the villagers so that awareness of rural technologies can be created.
vi. Introducing modern gadgets and machinery for generating employment in rural areas.

To achieve the targets and to accelerates the activities in the field of Transfer of technology, the following points to be taken into consideration while implementing the Community Polytechnics
i. Identify location-Specific technologies and in turn should be transferred to the villagers in a targeted manner.
ii. Need-based and community friendly technologies are essential because traditional technologies are not always competitive and may not generate enough local employment for livelihood. The needs of the informal sector include introduction of new and improved technologies and up gradation of skills of manpower and other inputs.
iii. Transfer of appropriate and latest technologies to rural people to improve their quality of life, productivity and energy efficiency.
iv. Offering up gradation of existing technologies used by villagers, artisans.
v. Moreover, transfer of technologies is not simple transfer of knowledge and skill for producing some products. It entails need analysis, technology identification, design, fabrication, development, testing, application, production, marketing and management. This needs to have a proper delivery system and a strong component of demand and employment generation.
vi. Providing backup technical support to the panchayats, Zila parishes, NGOs and grass- roots community at large, is going to bear fruits to a certain extent.
vii. Community Polytechnics should intensify their interaction with TTTIs, research Institutions/Laboratories and Centers for Development of Rural technologies to accelerate the pace of the transfer of technology to villages.
viii. TTTIs may make efforts to identify more technologies for transfer by Community Polytechnics to the community. To give boost to transfer of appropriate technology, a “Technology transfer Center” may be set up at each TTTI.
