The ‘National Innovation and
Start up Policy 2019 for students and faculty in
HEIs was launched by Former Minister of Education,
Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ on 11th September
2019 at AICTE, New
Delhi.
This
policy intends to guide HEIs for promoting
students’ driven innovations & start-ups and
to engage the students and faculty in innovation
and start up activities in campus. The policy aims
at enabling HEIs to build, streamline and
strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurial
ecosystem in campus and will be instrumental in
leveraging the potential of student’s creative
problem solving and entrepreneurial mind-set, and
promoting a strong intra and interinstitutional
partnerships with ecosystem enablers and different
stakeholders at regional, national and
international level. The policy is being
implemented by MoE’s Innovation Cell and in
coordination AICTE, UGC, state/ UT governments and
universities. Implementation of policy has been
undertaken for quick adoption by HEIs. The present
policy is a way forward to the earlier version of
