NEW DELHI: President Ram Nath Kovind today said innovations by themselves were not enough and there was a need to develop an ecosystem for their conversion into enterprises.
The vision of a newer and better India calls for meeting certain developmental milestones, some of these as early as 2022, the year the country commemorates 75th anniversary of Independence, he said at the inauguration of the Festival of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (FINE) 2018.
The President also presented the Gandhian Young Technological Innovation (GYTI) Awards on the occasion.
He called for revitalising every link in the innovation value chain.
“We need schools where children tinker rather than memorise and mug. We need work cultures where young talent looks up and questions – rather than looks down and nods. And, of course, we need the Government to provide a facilitative environment,” Kovind said. (AGENCIES)
