The Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) under NITI Aayog has partnered with Bhashini, the Digital India Bhashini Division of MeitY, to boost vernacular innovation across India. This initiative aims to integrate multilingual capabilities into AIM’s grassroots programs, making entrepreneurship and innovation accessible to non-English speakers. Key steps include translating World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) learning resources into multiple Indian languages, extending Bhashini’s tools to Atal Incubation Centres and Atal Community Innovation Centres, and establishing a new Language Inclusive Program for Innovation (LIPI) Centres. By bridging language barriers, this collaboration fosters inclusivity, empowers rural innovators, and promotes equitable participation in India’s innovation ecosystem.
