MHRD-IIC

Ministry of Education (MoE), Govt. of India has established ‘ MoE’s Innovation Cell (MIC)’ to systematically foster the culture of innovation amongst all Higher Education Institutions(HEIs). The primary mandate of MIC is to encourage, inspire, and nurture young students by supporting them to work with new ideas and transform them int prototypes while they are informative years. MIC has envisioned encouraging the creation of ‘Institution’s Innovation Council (IICs)’ across selected HEIs. A network of these IICs will be established to promote innovation in the Institution through multitudinous modes leading to an innovation promotion eco-system in the campuses. In collaboration with ME-RIISE (Malnad Enclave for Research, Innovation, Incubation, Start-ups, and Entrepreneurship ) Institution Innovation Cell has been established in the college with the vision of fostering innovation and support students to enrich their spirit of entrepreneurship.

UBA

The conceptualization of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan started with the initiative of a group of dedicated faculty members of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi working for a long in the area of rural development and appropriate technology.

In Collaboration with ME-RIISE, UBA has adopted 5 villages and works on improvement and awareness.
