Government of India has declared 2010-20 as the decade of innovation to unleash the creative potential of every Indian. The Government of India has also set up the "Atal Innovation Mission" and "Startup India, Stand-up India" mission to spearhead innovation movement across the nation. Youth of the country and the university system play a crucial role at every step to shape the innovation ecosystem. To build startup and innovation culture across universities is the key goal of Startup India action plan.
