Student Startup & Innovation Policy (SSIP)

Higher education does not get much patronage to develop
their innovation/start-up ecosystem compared to elite
institutes/universities in India
NeedforInterventionsinGujarat
Out of thousands of projects by students not
even a few become start-up due to lack of
ecosystem and due to lack of proper
handholding.
To inculcate culture of innovation amongst the
students and to provide a conducive
environment for optimum harnessing of their
creative pursuit, The Education Department,
Government of Gujarat has issued Student
Startup and Innovation Policy (SSIP) in year
2017.
Nearly 80% innovations die at early
stage across universities in India

Developing students centric Innovations
and Pre-incubation Ecosystems.
Support to flourish creativity & innovation.
Creating and facilitating sectoral and
regional inclusive innovation efforts.
