The Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell and AICTE have launched the School Innovation Council (SIC) programme to foster innovation, creativity, design thinking, and entrepreneurship in schools. Aligned with the National Innovation and Education Policy 2020, SIC promotes out-of-the-box thinking through activities for students and teachers under an annual calendar.
These activities prepare students for innovation and prototype contests at school, state, and national levels. SIC connects schools with higher education innovation councils, offering exposure and entrepreneurial insights, including ideation, prototyping, and motivational sessions.
