Everyone questions what India has done in the innovation sector. Can India ever compete with western countries?
Well, this is an attempt to answer the above question. This book is not about how to innovate. It’s about the different initiatives India has undertaken to promote and inculcate a culture of innovation in the country. The book talks about what the Central Government, State Government, research institutions, and schools/colleges have done. This detailed read will be an eye-opener for the uninitiated and a re-affirmation for those who had some idea but did not know the details. This book aims to paint a complete picture for you to gaze and cherish while sipping your hot coffee.
