Very recently, on 21st November, Hon’ble HRD Minister, Shri Prakash Javadekar, declared the launch of ‘Institution Innovation Council’. This drive by the Government of India is aimed at involving Higher Education Institutions to encourage, inspire and nurture young minds to befriend innovative practices right from the formative years so that they come out to be more skilled professionals and technocrats.

It is a matter of pride for us that amongst 1000 institutions selected across India, Panipat Institute of Engineering and Technology (PIET), an institute approved by AICTE and affiliated to Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra was one of these. And we have been chosen to be a part of this council for which a ‘One Star’ certificate has been awarded.

While accepting the certification award Mr. Rakesh Tayal, Member BOG PIET, said, “This pilot project aims to support top-class innovators, researchers and budding engineers with bright ideas and the ambition to scale-up internationally or be very successful entrepreneurs. This will further build a path leading India to a New Horizon. As we all know this is the era of fast track disruptive and market-creating innovation. I am assured by my past experience that PIETians would be able to create an impression in this creative field.

Prof. (Dr.) Shakti Kumar, Director PIET added, “We are a preeminent group of colleges with well-developed innovation functions. We share best practices and leading-edge ideas. This is how we train our students to provide advice to each other on how to solve problems and address opportunities. I feel whether the mode of change is evolution, revolution, or disruptive, all of us must respond quickly in an increasingly competitive environment. We must value the power of peer learning, which is the key word for this new initiative by the Indian Government. Enduring relationships with trusted peers are the core of this learning platform. This opportunity provides you with a broader perspective and shared experiences, as well as access to specific knowledge and best practices.”

The PIET students look forward enthusiastically to the slated workshops on ‘design thinking’, ‘Leadership Talk’, ‘Field Trips’ and ‘Workshop on Business Development’. Inspired by their prize winning participation in ‘Hackathon 2K17’ they feel themselves on their toes for the upcoming competition.
