The Ministry of Education's Innovation Cell and CBSE have launched the School Innovation Council (SIC), a groundbreaking initiative to help schools sustainably establish cultures of ideation, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
SIC will cultivate a culture of ideation, innovation, entrepreneurship, creative and design thinking, prototyping, unconventional problem-solving, and intellectual property commercialization. This will be achieved through a comprehensive approach that includes teacher training, field visits, leadership discussions, awareness programs, orientation sessions, boot camps, national-level exhibitions, hackathons, and establishing connections between the school innovation ecosystem and higher educational institutions (HEIs).
Over 3,800 schools have already registered for the SIC, and more are joining all the time.
