We are happy to invite submissions of projects/innovations by students for the Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Awards. It is a SRISTI initiative to foster youth-driven tech innovations. The Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Awards will be given in March, during the Festival of Innovations (FOIN), hosted by The office of the President of India, Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi.
We also invite all technology institutions to upload abstracts of all UG/PG/PhD projects pursued by the students at techpedia.sristi.org to promote originality and inclusive innovation.
