NISP(NATIONAL INNOVATION AND START-UP POLICY)

The National Innovation and Start-up Policy 2019 for students and faculty in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) was launched by Hon’ble Minister of Education, Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ on 11th September 2019 at AICTE, New Delhi.

This policy intends to guide HEIs in promoting student-driven innovations & start-ups and to engage the students and faculty in innovation and start-up activities on campus. The policy aims at enabling HEIs to build, streamline and strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus and will be instrumental in leveraging the potential of students’ creative problem-solving and entrepreneurial mindset and promoting a strong intra and inter- institutional 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 with AICTE, UGC, state / UT governments and universities. The present policy is a way forward to the earlier version of AICTE’s Start-up Policy which was launched in the year 2016 to complement the Star-tup Action Plan under the start-up India and stand-up India Program launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minster of India.
