National Innovation and Startup Policy (NISP) |
Dr B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar |
NIT Jalandhar wants to be the hub of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the whole of Punjab. In order to achieve the vision, NIT Jalandhar has drafted an Innovation and Startup Policy that will act as a framework and guiding force for all the stakeholders in their endeavor on I&E related activities. This Innovation and Startup Policy enlists all the rules related to I&E activities, startups, teachings and sessions of entrepreneurship, innovation workshops, events and IPR. This policy will enforce every stakeholder to abide by it in case of any discrepancy. The policy is binding in nature. The aim of the policy is to encourage every stakeholder at NIT Jalandhar and the Technology Business Incubator to take up innovation, entrepreneurship and startups as core activities so that NIT Jalandhar in itself grows to be self-sufficient in the future. Due focus is put on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and financial independence so that students graduate from NIT Jalandhar not just as engineers but as concerned citizens who give due regard to the environment and the society they live in. This policy will ensure that the students focus more on product development and product management rather than theories which in turn will ensure that the host institute will file more IPRs and go for more startups and Technology Transfers. This policy aligns itself with the National Innovation and Startup Policy and with the constitution of NIT Jalandhar
To make NIT Jalandhar the hub of innovation and entrepreneurship with world class support so that the students graduate from here with expertise in innovative product making and entrepreneurship.
