4.  Connecting science, technology and innovation with societal outcomes, will drive strong economic and social
progress for India
 The National Institution for Transforming India, also called NITI Aayog, was formed via a resolution of the Union
Cabinet on January 1, 2015, replacing the Planning Commission instituted in 1950
 Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) is a flagship initiative of the , housed at the NITI Aayog, to promote innovation and
entrepreneurship across the length and breadth of the country
 NITI Aayog is also developing itself as a State-of-the-Art Resource Centre (Atal Tinkering lab - ATL), with the
necessary resources, knowledge and skills, that will enable it to act with speed, promote research and innovation,
provide strategic policy vision for the government, and deal with contingent issues
 The Mentor of Change (MoC) Program is another citizen led national movement being led by AIM, wherein skilled
professionals provide pro-bono mentoring to young ATL innovators, with a strong sentiment towards nation
building.
 AIM's Atal Incubation Centres (AICs) are creating world-class ecosystems for start-ups to flourish, with the
required handholding including access to mentoring and investor networks
 Launched byAIM in collaboration with five Ministries of the Government of India, the Atal New India Challenges
(ANIC) provided innovators an opportunity to propose technological solutions in 24 different areas of national
importance.The selected innovations shall receive grant-in-aid along with support for swift productization and
commercialisation
 AIM-Atal Research and Innovation in Small Enterprises (ARISE) encourage the Ministries to invest in research
and innovation, and thereby accept innovation from small enterprises into the public system, through a
comprehensive framework for procurement.

5.  AIM Goal: Students get an opportunity to experience design thinking and widen their intellectual
horizons in pursuit of solutions to day-to-day problems and showcase their innovations at
prestigious platforms
 ATL Program:
▪ ATL fosters curiosity and lets innovators start young. Students are free to think and explore, try and fail,
even come up with something out of the box. The program is designed to tap on the intrinsic
imaginative and problem solving knack of children and equip students with the 21 century skills such as
design thinking, critical thinking, computational thinking, digital fabrication, collaboration and complex
problem solving skills, adaptive learning, computational skills etc which are required for future
▪ ATL is encouraging students and teachers to experiment, explore and follow a self-learning path,
thereby empowering them to think differently about problems and develop innovative solutions, by
leveraging latest technology tools including 3D printing, Internet of Things, robotics, miniaturized
electronics, space technology, drone technology, technology inspired textiles and so on
▪ Mission to create an ecosystem that nurtures futuristic skills with a vision to create 1 million neoteric
innovators. Access to multiple ATL resources is helping children to ideate and create feasible solutions
to substantial problems plaguing the community

6.  Under the ATL scheme grant-in-aid of upto INR 20lakh is provided to schools selected to setup anATL
 The grant must be spent exclusively for the specified purpose within the stipulated time of a maximum
period of 5 years, with Rs.10 lakh for capital expense and remaining Rs.10 lakh for operational and
maintenance expenses (12 lakhs first year, 2 lakh/year next 4 years)
 As of December 2018, more than 5,000 ATLs have been announced, covering 87% of all the districts
and 110 Aspirational Districts of India. These labs, established in both government. and private schools
and majority in coeducational and girls' schools, are serving as community hubs of innovation, while
transforming the way India learns, thinks, ideates and innovates
 As per the Strategy for New India published by NITI Aayog, AIM shall establish over 10,000 ATLs by
2020
 More than 40 of India's top thought leaders have signed up as Super Mentors for this initiative (MoC).
The MoC program recently opened the opportunity for online mentoring. As on date, more than 2,500
mentors are devoting their services towards mentoring young innovators with immense self-drive,
passion and commitment. Also, as per latest records, the MoCs have conducted more than 1,800
sessions with over 6,000 hours of mentoring, over the past few months
 Objective is to provide facilities to work with latest technologies and tools, to create innovations for
applications in multiple sectors including medical, clean energy, conservation of water, natural
resources, agriculture, smart mobility, thereby contributing towards sustainable development and
help build innovative solutions for India’s unique problems

58.  In 1990 (twenty-five years ago), he predicted
▪ That computer would defeat a world chess champion by 1998.Then in 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov
▪ That PCs would be capable of answering queries by accessing information wirelessly via the Internet by 2010. He was right!
▪ That by the early 2000s, exoskeletal limbs would let the disabled walk. Companies like Ekso Bionics and others now have
technology that does just this, and much more
 In 1999, he predicted……
▪ That people would be able talk to their computer to give commands by 2009. While still in the early days in 2009, natural
language interfaces like Apple’s Siri and Google Now have come a long way
▪ That computer displays would be built into eyeglasses for augmented reality by 2009. Labs and teams were building head
mounted displays well before 2009, but Google started experimenting with Google Glass prototypes in 2011
 In 2005, he predicted……
▪ That by the 2010s, virtual solutions would be able to do real-time language translation in which words spoken in a foreign
language would be translated into text that would appear as subtitles to a user wearing the glasses. Well, Microsoft (via Skype
Translate), Google (Translate), and others have done this and beyond. One app called Word Lens actually uses your camera to
find and translate text imagery in real time.

59.  By the late 2010s
▪ Glasses will beam images directly onto the retina.
▪ Ten terabytes of computing power (roughly the same as the human brain) will cost about $1,000.
 By the 2020s
▪ Most diseases will go away as nanobots become smarter than current medical technology
▪ Normal human eating can be replaced by nanosystems
▪ TheTuring test begins to be passable
▪ Self-driving cars begin to take over the roads, and people won’t be allowed to drive on highways
 By the 2030s
▪ Virtual reality will begin to feel 100% real
▪ We will be able to upload our mind/consciousness by the end of the decade
 By the 2040s
▪ Non-biological intelligence will be a billion times more capable than biological intelligence (a.k.a. us)
▪ Nanotech foglets (self-reconfiguring modular robotics) will be able to make food out of thin air and create any
object in physical world at a whim
 By 2045
▪ We will multiply our intelligence a billion fold by linking wirelessly from our neocortex to a synthetic neocortex
in the cloud.
