Aiming to push innovation in the country, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday said a separate portal would be established under Department of Electronics and IT (Deity) through which innovators can seek government support for their ideas and products.
“Under Department of IT, a separate portal shall be created which is dedicated to the innovators of India,” Mr. Prasad said at an event by technology giant Intel in the national capital. He added that anyone who innovates can put up his innovation on the portal. “My department will follow it. We will reach them in the event they are worthy of that. They will be given all the support,” the Minister said, adding that he will personally oversee the initiative.
Mr. Prasad also facilitated 10 finalists of the ‘Intel and DST Innovate for Digital India Challenge’ who have developed innovative solutions for various fields such as healthcare, agriculture among others.
“We believe that grassroots level innovation built through robust public private partnership like this will lead the way towards achieving a truly Digital India,” Mr. Prasad said.
