The program to be implemented by the Institute’s Corporate Relations Office has been carefully designed to strengthen sustained industry–academia collaboration, enable deeper faculty engagement with corporate partners, facilitate thematic research, innovation programs, and access to institutional facilities such as research labs. The program also offers customised training programs and access to library resources.

The program offers tiered memberships: Silver (Rs 10 lakh per annum), Gold (Rs 20 lakh per annum), and Platinum (Rs 50 lakh per annum), enabling organizations to engage with the Institute across research, innovation, talent, and institutional initiatives.

I received this message today from a colleague working in a university, and it made me deeply sad. Posting it here with his permission.

We speak of innovation, research and demographic dividend, but if faculty and staff in our educational institutions are not even paid their salaries on time, something is seriously wrong.

I strongly believe that if you want to know the future of any country, look at what is happening in its educational institutions today. That is where the future is being made.

@ugc_india @AICTE_INDIA @EduMinOfIndia @dpradhanbjp must intervene and do something about this.
