Background
Studies have shown
that India, with a huge population of about 550 million young men and women
below the age of 25 years, has enormous un-tapped innovation capability which
can easily meet basic human needs of the country. Recognizing this fact the

Council has been encouraging country?s various sectors such as: industrial;
governmental; educational and other related segments to work together and
establish innovation clusters and networks for developing synergy and taking
the innovation activities in the country to the next higher level. Realizing
