An official delegation of the Delhi Government, led by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, on Wednesday visited T-Hub in the city to draw inputs from the Tech start-up incubator for the proposed Delhi Hub.
“Like T-Hub, we are creating Delhi Hub,” he said, adding three locations have been identified for the project. Seeking to highlight the number of technology ideas that the project would support, he pointed out that many incubation research projects were underway in Delhi. The State Government, he added, was keen on supporting the growth of MSMEs.
Mr. Sisodia and the team, which included Health Minister Satyendar Jain, participated in the MeltingPot 2020 conference before visiting to T-Hub and meeting Telangana IT and Industries Minister K.T. Rama Rao.
A release from Mr.Rao’s office said that the Minister explained various initiatives of the Telangana Government to support the innovation ecosystem and skilling of youngsters.
Mr. Rao explained to the visiting delegation that the T-Hub as an incubator of start-ups was taken up to promote a new wave in Information Technology industry which went through a phase of uncertainty before formation of the State. It helped build start-up culture in Hyderabad.
Mr. Sisodia, who is also the Education Minister, told the conference that the need was to foster a “creative and critical learning environment in schools. We have to fix the problem of education and focus on (supporting) research and innovation.”
Good Samaritan Scheme
Addressing the conference, organised by CL Educate, Mr. Jain said the Delhi Government planned to launch a Good Samaritan scheme under which those rushing accident victims to the hospitals would be rewarded ₹2,000 each.
