Transforming Public Transport in India With rapid growth of population in the cities and increase in motor vehicles, the urban space in India for creation of the necessary infrastructure is shrinking every year. An average of 60,000 vehicles is sold every day in India. On the other hand, the consistent growth of population is further widening the gap between demand and supply of public transport needs. An effective public transport system like Metro Rail has become the core priority of urban administrations to ease the urban commutation Metro rail is operated on non-pollutant energy and is most preferable in densely populated urban spaces. Undoubtedly, the Mass Transit System is by far the most remarkable invention in public transport The Metros across the world have undoubtedly smoothened the public transport wherever they were introduced. Besides offering the best public transport, cities like Hong Kong and Tokyo are running Metros with operational profit. Delhi Metro too

Improving Governance in Public Systems Innovations which exist in the public domain are often overlapping and are not restricted to a particular category. However, for a better understanding, innovations in public systems may be broadly categorized. Types of Innovation: Service Innovations : intend to introduce a new service, product or improvement in the quality of an existing service or product. Bhart Interface for Money (BHIM) is a mobile application developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) which enables e-payments directly through banks. Service Delivery Innovations:  create a new or improved way of delivering specific public service to the citizens that aim at improving accessibility, targeting user needs more accurately, bringing in simplification of procedures etc. Common Service Centers (CSCs)  are the access points for delivery of essential public utility services, social welfare schemes, healthcare, financial, education and agriculture

Innovation Oriented Initiatives in Higher Education The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence. -Rabindranath Tagore Successful pursuit in science, engineering and technology yields discovery invention and innovation respectively. Therefore, engineering education must build on relevant scientific theories and principles to address the issues of ‘need’ of the society MHRD Initiatives on Promotion of Innovation: In recent times, the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) has launched several new and innovation programs to make higher education more pervasive and effective and usher in significant positive changes in the higher education system, particularly in engineering and technology. Some of the notable initiatives are summarized below: Research and Innovation: Start up India Initiative for HEIs To promote the culture of ‘innovation’ in tune with

Contributing to a Knowledge-Based Revolution India got left behind in the Industrial Revolution that swept the world in the last century. But India does have a unique opportunity to contribute in the knowledge based revolution that is sweeping the world today. Towards this end a strategic national flagship initiative Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) has been set up under the auspices of the NITI Aayog.  AIM’s focus is to create and promote a world class innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem  throughout the length and breadth of our country and to provide such an innovation ecosystem that will also transform our job seekers to job creators of the future. A Holistic Framework : The Atal Innovation Mission has adopted a holistic framework to achieve its objectives. At the school level there is a tremendous need  for creation of an innovative, problem solving mindset in the students of the high schools. At the university and industry levels, there are a growing number of startup
