For the first time, all the 23 Indian Institute of Technologies (IITs) of the country will come together for a mega research and development (R&D) fair to be held at IIT-Delhi on October 14 and 15. The inaugural session will be attended by Union Minister for Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan.
Named IInvenTiv, the event is aimed at creating holistic awareness around the research and innovation work being carried out by the IITs and seeking collaborative avenues among state universities and institutes, industry, and the IITs for better development and reach of the innovations at the grassroots level.
The fair is being organised to commemorate the 75th year of India’s Independence in line with the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav initiative. It will showcase projects in diverse areas covering climate change, sustainability, smart city architecture, rural agriculture, affordable healthcare and drone technology.
