New Delhi, Sept 17 (KNN) Telangana State Innovation Cell has launched ‘Intinta Innovator'-Innovator in every home campaign to take innovation to every household and encourage problem solving capability in the state.

The campaign was flagged off by KT Rama Rao, Information and Technology Minister recently and will go on till October 5.

Speaking at the occasion, Rao said that to foster innovation driven economy, it is important to take innovation and entrepreneurship beyond the established system and to every household in the state.

He said “to turn this thought into action, we are launching the “Intinta Innovator” campaign to reach out to every member of every household to encourage them to think of themselves as problem solvers.”

To take innovation to another level, Rao said “T-Hub was born. It has supported over 400 startups and has put Hyderabad on the global map.”

WE-Hub, another of our initiative aimed at promoting women entrepreneurs, has also seen tremendous traction over the last four months,” he added.

However, Rao added that these initiatives are just not enough. In order to promote innovation, the government must go beyond supporting startups or entrepreneurs.

As part of the campaign, the state innovation cell has collaborated with Startup India under the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion for Startup India Telangana Yatra.

Highlighting Startup India Telangana Yatra, Principal Secretary to Government, ITE&C and Industries and Commerce Department said “this yatra is only the first step in our numerous initiatives lined up as part of the Intinta Innovator campaign.

In fact, prior to the Yatra, he said “We have conducted activation workshops in colleges. We are also establishing E-Cells and showcasing rural innovators from across the State in every college the Yatra visits. In future, we would like to partner with numerous schools, colleges, incubators, and other organizations from the innovation ecosystem to bring life to this campaign.”

Through the Startup Yatra, the state innovation cell team will be travelling to 12 districts and conducting workshops, awareness drives, and boot camps. The best ideas will then be incubated in Hyderabad.
