New Delhi: Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar on Wednesday called for concerted efforts by the country's higher educational institutions towards inculcating a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship among students and preparing the faculty members as innovators, out-of-the-box thinkers, creative problem solvers and job creators.
He said this while launching the Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA). Emphasising on promoting innovation to achieve the target of a USD 5 trillion economy by 2025, the minister said more than quantity, the institutes should focus on the quality of innovation and research.
"This will help us achieve the Aatmanirbhar Bharat dream in true sense. 'Emphasis on Innovation' was amongst the three vows taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent Kashi visit.
The other two vows were for Swachh Bharat and Aatmanirbhar Bharat. Considering all these three vows, innovation is the only path for their fulfilment. Hence, we need to give a huge push to innovation and entrepreneurship within our educational institutions," he said. Referring to India's consistent growth in innovation and start-ups, Sarkar said the country has one of the largest higher educational systems in the world. "There are ample opportunities for higher educational institutions to play the role of an enabler to drive Indian innovation and the start-up ecosystem.
