Innovation Clubs
Students lead Innovation Club
Established in 2022 as an expansion of the former "Innovators Hub," which originated in 2018, the Innovation Hub is a dynamic organisation. Its primary mission is to ignite the creative sparks within students, transforming their unique ideas into tangible ventures. Initially launched with a small team, the Innovation Hub has now grown to include over 400 members spanning all college divisions. These members pool their intellect and work collectively to devise innovative solutions.
Our fundamental aim is to create an environment where college students can nurture their initiatives, foster their individuality, and refine their concepts to make them market-ready. The council strives to provide resources, guidance, motivation, and cultivate entrepreneurship among students. We aim to establish a community of aspiring individuals who are eager to develop, promote, and launch their ideas, concepts, and research-driven start-ups into the real world. These endeavours substantiate students' innovative abilities while enhancing their ongoing academic pursuits in the most effective manner.
Innovation Hub operates under the guidance of faculty advisors and mentors under CBIE to ensure the effective functioning.
Mission
Fostering the acquisition of crucial non-technical skills and personality development traits, such as project management, research, and deployment, to set our students apart in a competitive landscape.
Providing a space for exploration, learning, and innovation, welcoming students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to collaborate and contribute their ideas.
Cultivating a collaborative environment where students learn from each other, gaining a deep appreciation for various fields and honing leadership and teamwork abilities.
Promoting innovative and lateral thinking guided by sound research and analytics, encouraging students to adopt a mindset of experimentation and problem-solving.
Inspiring students to translate classroom knowledge into projects, research papers, and startups through our events and workshops.
Addressing even the smallest challenges individuals face, building a community of students dedicated to practical, hands-on learning and problem-solving. Our goal is to prepare our institution's student community for a world brimming with opportunities while fostering a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
