Institution's Innovation Council (IIC)
In 2018, the Ministry of Education (Government of India) launched the Institute's Innovation Council (IIC) programme in collaboration with AICTE for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to encourage the creative energy of our student population as well as to systematically foster the culture of innovation and start-up/entrepreneurial ecosystem in educational institutions.
The IICs' primary role is to engage a large number of faculty and staff in various innovation and entrepreneurship-related activities such as ideation, problem-solving, proof-of-concept development, design thinking, IPR, project handling and management at the pre-incubation/incubation stage, such that in HEIs, an ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship may be established and stabilised. The MIC envisioned the establishment of a network of IICs across a number of HEIs in order to encourage institutional innovation through a variety of mechanisms, resulting in an innovation-rich eco-system on these campuses.
