Imprint India

President Pranab Mukherjee launched 'Imprint India', a Rs 1,000-crore project to kickstart original research in areas where the country is dependent on foreign technology. The initiative is based on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s suggestion that research done by institutions of national importance must be linked with immediate requirements of the society at large.

This novel initiative with a twofold mandate is aimed at:

(a) Developing new engineering education policy
