The term ‘Innovation’ is defined as converting ideas into new or improved products, processes, and services. Undoubtedly, innovation is about taking inventions to the marketplace by translating scientific knowledge into products, services, economic growth, and social development offerings. To unleash the creative potential of every Indian, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India declared 2010-20 as the ‘Decade of Innovation.’ India has already been improving globally in innovation, ranging from 86th place in 2014 to 48th in 2020.

ARIIA is an initiative of the Ministry of Education (MoE), Govt. of India to systematically rank all major higher educational institutions (HEIs) and universities in India based their efforts to have a dynamic and robust innovation and startup ecosystem on the campus. This effort will undoubtedly inspire Indian institutions to reorient their mindset and build ecosystems by encouraging high-quality research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Moreover, ARIIA will set the tone and direction for future development institutions to make them globally competitive and at the forefront of innovation.

Major parameters and indicators for consideration include

Developing an Innovative and Entrepreneurial Mindset through Series of Activities,

Teaching and Learning Courses on Innovation, Entrepreneurship & IPR,

Dedicated Infrastructure & Facilities to Promote Innovation & Entrepreneurship at HEI,

Successful Innovation and Startups Generated from HEI with Institute’s Support,

Intellectual Property (IP), Generation and Commercialization, and

Stepping out of the world of academia and into the business world can be a tricky transition. So how do you translate your education and background so that potential employers will see your value?

The NISP is being implemented by MoE’s Innovation Cell and in coordination with AICTE, UGC, State/UT Governments, and Universities. The NISP for students and faculty in HEIs was launched by Hon’ble Minister of Education, Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ in 2019. This policy intends to guide HEIs to promote students’ driven innovations and startups and engage the students and faculty in innovation and startup activities on campus. The policy aims at enabling HEIs to build, streamline and strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus. It will be instrumental in leveraging the potential of student’s creative problem solving and entrepreneurial mindset and promoting strong intra- and inter-institutional partnerships with ecosystem enablers and different stakeholders at regional, national, and international levels.

Currently, Goa University is preparing innovation and startup policy to create employment opportunities for Goa by providing startup avenues for students of Goa University in terms of incubation centers at Goa University.

Coordination Committee

The committee is to help Goa University to prepare the NISP policy document and coordinate the activities of the National Innovation Startup Policy (NISP).

Students of Goa University are encouraged to participate in Hackathons on Global Platforms. These platforms are well known globally and give a competitive edge to the students who participate there.

Some of these platforms include (but are not limited to): AngelHack, DEVPOST, and HackerEarth.

Students also participate in the annual Google’s Summer of Code (SOC), a global community-focused program that accepts project proposals and then works on a 10-week project. At the end of the term, the projects are evaluated as pass/fail. The projects are mainly open-source, and the aim here is to connect students to the global IT industry.

Students also participate in Internshala internship programs. Here, recruiters from India and global (small organizations) participate in finding students that best suit their mutual interests. To date, some of our students have received an internship from US and Indian clients.
