"Culture and an innovative ecosystem can go hand in hand in India which can create more opportunities for students all over the nation to develop and grow.

The minister's views were echoed by Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairman, All India Council for Technical Education.
"Innovation plays an eminent role in education, empowering students with a more creative and innovative learning process," he said.
