Delhi Government to set up incubation centres

NEW DELHI: Government will set up incubation centres at all higher education institutes, especially technology institutes, across the national capital, Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said today.

Addressing students at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIID) in south Delhi here, he said that government wants youths to become task masters and solution givers instead of becoming high-salaried engineers.

He said that there is an urgent need to invent new technology in the country so that we don't have to look at other counteries for technology which is very costly there.

"Society does not need only high-salaried engineers, but it also needs task masters and solution givers. Youth should think out of the box.

"Government will set up incubation centres at all higher education institutes, especially technology institutes, across the city," the deputy CM said.

"We are seeking new technology from companies to implement our ideas but it is unfortunate that companies which came to us brought technology invented in other countries, he said.

"We are looking for solution of Delhi's problems through Japanese and Russian technologies. We need to focus on indigenously developed technology," he said.
