Project
focus |
Main
focus would be on inclusive innovations – looking at innovations that can
impact the lives of those segments of the society who have limited
opportunity and remain mainly excluded from mainstream social and economic
developments. An example is the “Assistive technology solutions for visually
impaired” work that is being carried out under the umbrella of Assistech group of IIT Delhi
(http://assistech.iitd.ac.in/). All areas under the broad umbrella of
inclusive innovation are open and inputs from the participants and other resource
persons would decide specific projects. |

hostel rooms in the campus. Those staying in the hostel would have to pay for
