Innovation Club ?

Innovation is the buzzword of the 21st century. Innovation is all about converting ideas into new or improved products, processes and services. It is about taking inventions to marketplace. It is a process that translates knowledge into products & services for economic growth and social well-being. It emphasizes a series of scientific, technological, organizational, financial and commercial activities. The STI Policy 2013 of the Govt. of India has also emphasized on the role of innovation and is committed to develop innovation incubators, wherein the youth of the country are nurtured and exposed to ideas and processes to inspire them to take up innovative activities from an early age. Setting up of Innovation hubs in Science Centres is a step in this direction.
