The government has unveiled a platform to drive collaboration between the industry and research institutes to implement technology-based social impact innovations and solutions in the country.
The Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the government, Ajay Kumar Sood said that ‘the launch of Manthan, a platform that promises to augment our efforts to build and nurture industry participation in R&D, is also a testimony of our commitment to the UN's SDG goals.’ Powered by NSEIT, the Manthan platform will help scale up interactions among stakeholders, facilitate research and innovation, and share challenges in various emerging technologies and scientific interventions, including those that make a social impact.
Parvinder Maini, Scientific Secretary, Office of PSA, also said the platform will provide the necessary fulcrum for transforming the nation through innovative ideas, inventive minds, and public-private-academia collaboration to achieve the country's sustainability goals. Led by the Office of PSA, Manthan will facilitate knowledge transfers and interactions through information exchange sessions, exhibitions, and events to develop a framework for future science, innovation, and technology-led growth.
