This can be achieved by taking innovation, technology and start up as key instruments to gear up the socio-economic development process and adopting reformative policy approaches to get out of the Job Seeker tag and making HEIs innovative and entrepreneurial in function. Entrepreneurship and Start-up Policies play a vital role in the economic and social development of a nation. In fast developing economics like India, these policies are critical and very important for innovators, entrepreneurs and startups in overcoming barriers while trying to market their innovation and growth of startups from scratch to scale. Higher Educational institutes in general and technical institutes in particular, play an imperative role in shaping the startup movement for a country like India where the large sections of young talents are in their academics.
Ministry of Human Resource Development and apex regulatory bodies such as University Grant Commission (UGC) and All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) together have designed a more inclusive version with detailed guidelines on the ‘National Innovation and Start-up Policy 2019 for students and faculty’ for implementation and adoption in both technical and non-technical HEIs across the country.

The Policy has be implemented by MHRD’s Innovation Cell and in coordination AICTE, UGC, state governments & UTs and universities, policy will be taken to ground for quick adoption by HEIs.
Policy Objectives:
The National Innovation and Start-up Policy 2019 intends to guide HEIs to promote student driven innovations & start-ups and to engage the students and faculty in innovation and start up activities in campus. The policy aims at enabling HEIs to build, streamline and strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem in campus and will be instrumental in leveraging the potential of science, student’s creative problem solving and entrepreneurial mind-set, and promoting a strong intra and inter-institutional partnerships with ecosystem enablers and different stakeholders at regional, national and international level. The entrepreneurial ecosystem in HEIs will play key role in identifying, mentoring, nurturing innovative and entrepreneurial potential of students, faculty and staff and transforming them into start-up entrepreneurs by provided avenues of funding, investment opportunities and networking support to make the innovation and venture successful.
