About Us:-
The Ministry of Human Resource Development is working on a number of initiatives to harness the creativity and to create an eco-system of innovations in schools as also in our institutions of higher learning. The National Innovation Council (NlnC) suggested the establishment of 20 Design Innovation Centers during the XII Five Year Plan as also one Open Design School and one institution for facilitating training of trainers. The NlnC has also suggested that each institution must have a pedagogic charter that promotes independent thinking and creates a new generation of innovators. The key guiding principles, mainly to be embedded in the pedagogic charter would be to promote flexibility, autonomy, creative leadership & development of curriculum in consultation with prospective user industries and other institutions.
