JOURNEY WITH DST, GoI
At KIIT-TBI, our relentless pursuit of “Empowering and Enabling the Innovation Ecosystem” in the Eastern & North Eastern regions of India has been made possible through our strong partnership with the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. As a Not-for-Profit, Section 25 Company, we have received unwavering support from DST, which has been instrumental in shaping our journey. The adoption of DST’s comprehensive schemes, including NIDHI EIR, NIDHI PRAYAS, NIDHI SSS, and NIDHI Accelerator schemes, has been a perfect fit in our repertoire of support tools. KIIT-TBI has also collaborated with the National Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board (NSTEDB), for the implementation of special drive programs such as DST CAWACH and DST NIDHI4COVID 20. These programs have been pivotal in supporting indigenous solutions and innovative products to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
