MIC has envisioned encouraging creation of ‘Institution’s Innovation Council (IICs)’ across selected HEIs. A network of these IICs will be established to promote innovation in the Institution through multitudinous modes leading to an innovation promotion eco-system in the campuses. It’s our proud privilege to announce that Shri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology and Management, Bantakal, Udupi, is joined hands with MOE to foster the culture of Entrepreneurship and innovation in the institute.
