New Delhi, Aug 2 (IBNS): President of India Pranab Mukherjee received a copy of book ‘Grassroots Innovation’ authored by Anil K. Gupta of IIM Ahmedabad who is also the Vice Chairman, National Innovation Foundation at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday.

Speaking on the occasion, the President congratulated Anil K. Gupta and said that he was deeply appreciative of his efforts and painstaking work about the innate creativity and innovative potential of our people.

He stated that Dr. Gupta’s book was about stories of extraordinary men and women who are silently contributing in the innovation movement for the economic development and advancement of society.

The President said that the Government should provide institutional support to the grass root innovators.

Their efforts will not be appreciated if necessary linkages between the relevant stakeholders are not established.

The Festival of Innovations which is organized by Rashtrapati Bhavan in collaboration with National Innovation Foundation has helped to bring together creative energy from different domains.
