Programs like Digital India, AatmaNirbhar Bharat Innovate Challenge, Make in India, Atal Innovation Challenges have rationalized and expedited the investment processes in the country. These challenges could reinvigorate depleted ecosystems and obsolete technologies. It will eventually help India create an army of grass root technological innovators.
