The Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell (MIC), established by the Government of India, aims to foster a culture of innovation across Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). MIC’s primary objective is to inspire and support young students in transforming their ideas into prototypes.
To achieve this, MIC has initiated the creation of Institution’s Innovation Councils (IICs) within selected HEIs. These councils form a network dedicated to promoting innovation through diverse initiatives, cultivating an ecosystem that encourages creativity and entrepreneurship on campuses.
The Innovation Cell plays a pivotal role in nurturing creative design thinking, particularly in engineering fields. It provides students with a platform to showcase their talents, collaborate on projects, and participate in competitions. By supporting young minds, the cell helps students excel in their specialized areas of interest and contributes to the development of groundbreaking ideas.
To create a platform for students to improve cognitive talents and a lively inventive atmosphere in the Institute.

Conducting innovation and entrepreneurship-related activities within a structured timeframe.
