Dr. Amrita Dawn, Chief Innovation Officer, Delhi Research Implementation and Innovation (DRIIV), averred,
“DRIIV is a science and technology cluster of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, mandated to create an ecosystem of industry, academia and government bodies for taking innovations from ‘lab to market’. There is no scarcity of innovations, however, many times these innovations are not taken to the industries, and therefore, they fail to create an impact and serve their purpose. Through the collaboration with DRIIV, institutions can witness enhanced research impact and global visibility, stronger industry and government linkages, and alignment with national and global priorities mission. In addition, students also benefit by getting hands-on exposure to live projects, internships, fellowships and global exchange opportunities, entrepreneur pathways and skill building in emerging technologies and innovations.”
Dr. Balvinder Shukla, Vice Chancellor Amity University Uttar Pradesh, stated,
“We are delighted to collaborate with DRIIV and are certain that this partnership will be fruitful for our students, researchers and scientists since they will find new opportunities for promoting their research work and create societal impact through their innovations.”
