Atal Innovation Mission, Niti Aayog December 22, 2021 launched the first of its kind Vernacular Innovation Program which enables innovators and entrepreneurs to have access to the innovative ecosystem in 22 mother tongue languages.
- By providing access to learning in one’s language and culture, Atal Innovation Mission aims to create equal opportunity for the vernacular innovators.
- To build the necessary capacity for the Vernacular Innovation Program, VIP Atal Innovation Mission has identified and will be training a Vernacular Task Force in each of the 22 scheduled languages. Each task force comprises vernacular language teachers, subject experts, technical writers, and the leadership of regional Atal Incubation Centres.
- Through this, innovation can become a Jan Andolan because people are more creative when they think in their own mother tongues rather than in English.
