With the objective to disseminate IP literacy and create a healthy IP ecosystem in the country, the Education Ministry is currently in talks with certain other Ministries to launch the National Intellectual Property Literacy initiative. The Chief Innovation Officer also said \u201cWe have conceptualized this national innovation and startup policy because what we realized is that we have no clear incentivisation for faculties and students who get into IP filing, entrepreneurship, converting those IPs into ventures, conversion of knowledge into wealth was not there.\u201d The Ministry is therefore working with Higher Educational Institutions as well as Universities to adopt these policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><strong>Ministry of Human Resource Development publishes Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India published the Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA) on 18<sup>th<\/sup> August 2020.
