NEW DELHI:

Organised under the theme "Translating Science into Startups: Innovation for Health, Environment and Agriculture for industries and society," the event is designed to position the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) as a joint platform for all the science departments in the government of India, as well as private players for entrepreneurship and collaboration.

According to Ministry sources, this was an innovative idea of Dr Jitendra Singh, the Minister Incharge, to organise a series of such conclaves in different parts of the country with the aim to identify potential StartUps, reach out to them, and at the same time, sensitise their parents and teachers to encourage them.
