During her visit to an innovation exhibition at Rashtrapati Bhavan, the President witnessed a range of innovative ideas created by grassroots entrepreneurs and highlighted the important role of local innovation in shaping a more inclusive and progressive society.
President Murmu said grassroots innovations are uniquely connected to people’s needs as they bring together local experiences, scientific knowledge, creativity, and a strong commitment to social welfare. She noted that such innovations often emerge from a deep understanding of everyday challenges and have the potential to create meaningful change at the community level.
Appreciating the dedication of the innovators, the President acknowledged their determination to continue working despite challenges and encouraged them to keep developing solutions that improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities.
The exhibition showcased how ideas born from local experiences can be transformed into impactful solutions through innovation and technology. These efforts reflect the growing spirit of entrepreneurship and problem-solving among citizens, especially those working to address social and economic challenges.
Grassroots innovators are playing an increasingly important role in building a culture of creativity and self-reliance by developing affordable, accessible, and sustainable solutions for society. Initiatives like the Atal Innovation Mission continue to provide a platform for such innovators to receive recognition, support, and opportunities to expand their impact.
