Government to start portal for innovators

New Delhi, Nov 19: Innovators seeking government help to transform their ideas into reality can now turn to a dedicated web portal to be set up for them, a minister said on Thursday.

"I have decided that there will be a separate, dedicated portal of my ministry dedicated to the innovators of India," IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said at the Intel DST Innovate for Digital India Challenge event here.

"Anyone can put their innovation on the portal, and my department will follow them up," Prasad said. "I will personally monitor the progress of how these ideas are being followed up."
