Five teams comprising budding innovators from schools and colleges in Kerala are set to receive State support to scale up their projects under a scheme designed to promote new ventures in the start-up ecosystem.
The innovators became eligible for the Innovators Privilege Card after successfully developing and showcasing prototypes of five products as part of the Young Innovators Programme (YIP), jointly organised by the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) and the Kerala Development and Innovation Strategic Council (K-DISC).
The five prototypes have been developed by young innovators from three institutions — Sanatana Dharma College, Alappuzha; St. George English Medium LP School, Chully, Angamaly; and SNHSS Pullamkulam, North Paravur. The showcased products are fingerprint bike starter, automatic water-level indicator, utilisation of water hyacinth, solar water heater and drier, and energy-saving cooking vessels.
