Pradhan releases two strategic documents on Bharat Innovates
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday released two strategic documents on Bharat Innovates, showcasing India’s emerging innovation and startup ecosystem rooted in higher education and research institutions. The documents were released ahead of Bharat Innovates 2026, to be held in Nice, France, from June 14-16 under the aegis of the India-France Year of Innovation.
Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan said that one of the core objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is to transform India from a system of knowledge consumption to a system of knowledge creation and innovation.
He noted that the startups featured in the Bharat Innovates Strategic Documents are emerging from India’s premier institutions, incubators and research ecosystems, reflecting the growing innovation capacity of the country’s higher education sector. “Bharat Innovates reflects the vision articulated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take India’s innovation capabilities to the global stage,” Pradhan said.
