Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, PTR Palanivel Thiagarajan on Friday, December 15, 2023 said that the Tamil Nadu government is trying to ensure that its philosophy of equitable access and social justice is implemented, even in the start-up and innovation ecosystem.
“We have targeted funds for SC/ST entrepreneurs and women, and with all our training programmes, we are geared to those parts of the community that do not get access to equal education opportunities,” he said while addressing the valedictory session of an International Confluence Conference on Startups and Innovation that was hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras’ (IIT Madras) Centre for Research on Startups and Risk Financing (CREST).
