THE INNOVATION MOVEMENT
"In a world deluged with irrelevant information, Clarity is Power," said one thinker. "If there is one power to absolve the world of its problems, it is called Innovation, said another".
Another "I" for India is Innovation.
The world's largest democracy has always believed in working toward the future of one world, together. Supporting this need for innovation, the Prime Minister, of India, Mr. Narendra Modi has advocated a platform of self-reliance, called 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'.
