New Delhi, Nov 19 (KNN) The government is planning to create a separate portal dedicated to the innovators of India in which the innovators can put up their innovations following which they will get government support, said Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
"Under my Department of IT, a separate portal shall be created which is dedicated to the innovators of India. Anyone who innovates can put his innovation on that portal and my department will follow it. We will reach them in the event they are worthy of that. They will be given all the support,” Prasad said during an Intel event on innovation here.
The Minister said he will personally oversee the initiative to ensure that the innovators are getting all help.
Prasad said Indians by nature are frugal innovators and they should be supported.
The Minister also facilitated 10 finalists of the 'Intel and DST Innovate for Digital India Challenge' who have developed innovative solutions for various fields like healthcare, agriculture among others.
The programme was launched in April this year by Intel in partnership with government, to attract innovators to develop easy-to-use solutions to drive technology adoption or create applications that accelerate delivery of e-governance services through MyGov app on mobile platforms.
"We believe that grassroots level innovation built through robust public private partnership like this will lead the way towards achieving a truly Digital India," Prasad said. (KNN Bureau)
