About School Innovation Ambassador Program
New Education Policy has laid huge emphasis on promoting out-of-the-box thinking amongst students. To achieve this goal, the role of a teacher is highly significant. The teachers should become mentors and guide these young minds in their pursuit of innovation and entrepreneurship. Thus, it is equally crucial for mentors to have adequate mentoring skills.
With this aim, School Innovation Ambassador program has been conceptualized by Ministry of Education Innovation Cell and All India Council for Technical Education to train the school teachers across country who will nurture the young school students on Ideation, IPR, product development, design thinking, problem-solving and critical thinking
