New Delhi, Dec 4 (KNN) In an effort to boost innovation, entrepreneurship and start-ups across the country, NITI Aayog has organised a panel discussion at Vigyan Bhawan today with key stakeholders.
Leading lights from academia, industry and government would take part in the deliberations.
Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog, Dr. Arvind Panagariya will chair the two panel discussions on entrepreneurship and innovation, an official release said.
The participants at the session on entrepreneurship include Director, South Asia Institute, Harvard University, Prof Tarun Khanna, along with the Secretary in the Department of MSME, Dr. Anup Pujari among others.
As for the session on innovation, participants include Secretary in the Department of Science and Technology, Dr. Ashutosh Sharma and Prof. Vijay Chandra.
The move comes close on the heels of Government decision to set up the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) and a mechanism to be known as SETU (Self Employment and Talent Utilisation) in NITI Aayog.
The AIM will act as a platform to promote a network of world-class Innovation hubs and Grand Challenges for India. SETU will be a Techno-Financial, Incubation and Facilitation Program to support all aspects of start-up businesses, and other self-employment activities, particularly in technology-driven areas.
With a view to further these initiatives, NITI Aayog had constituted an Expert Committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. Tarun Khanna, Director, South Asia Institute, Harvard University.
The Expert Committee has submitted its report on Innovation and Entrepreneurship which is available on the NITI Aayog’s website. The recommendations of the expert committee would be taken up for the discussion at the two sessions with key stakeholders to take forward the Government’s agenda to give boost to innovation, entrepreneurship and start-ups.
It is expected that the deliberations will help in the sharing of ideas and best practices to give a fillip to the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship in the country. (KNN Bureau)
