ADVANCE FOR USE MONDAY, JULY 30, 2012 AND THEREAFTER - In this Friday, May 25, 2012, photo Prof. Anil Gupta, right, gives a certificate to Ghanshyam Lal, an innovator, during his visit for the Shodh Yatra (Journey for the Search of Knowledge) in the village of Dabati in the Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh, India. Gupta and his aides have uncovered more than 25,000 inventions. Many of the cheap, simple ideas he spreads for free from one poor village to another with the inventor's blessing. Some he is working to bring to market, ensuring the innovator gets the credit and the profit that will spur others to create as well. Many ideas are simply documented in his database waiting for some investor to spot their potential. (AP Photo/Rafiq Maqbool)
