“Innovation and creativity are two words heard frequently in today’s education system. How can we encourage innovation and creativity in ourselves and our students? To answer this question LJ has been organizing LJ Innovation Village, since 2013. Acting as a driving force in building the backbone of the innovation ecosystem, LJ Innovation Village is a platform to showcase innovative projects, products and start-ups by innovators from all over the country. It provides an opportunity to innovators to interact with students, faculties, industry experts and potential seed investors. The additions and deletions during this process ignite a creative instinct in the innovator. An innovative ecosystem is the outcome of risk takers and entrepreneurial thinkers. Though innovation has been defined differently by coveted noble laureates, we believe that an idea must be replicable and economically scalable. Innovation is a process, which evolves around the life cycle of a product/ service, from ideation phase to commercialization for addressing a need of the society.

Brain-o-vation included various interesting topics of discussion as well as interactive activities. It happened to be most lively zones with one of its kind fin learn lessons.
