In-Residence at Rashtrapati Bhavan
In-Residence at Rashtrapati Bhavan. In pursuance of this thinking and to encourage the creative and innovative potential of the people, especially the youth of this country, an ‘In-Residence’ Programme at the Rashtrapati Bhavan was initiated.
President Pranab Mukherjee recently interacted with Innovation Scholars In-Residence and Writers In-Residence. What is In-Residence Programme?
In pursuance of this thinking and to encourage the creative and innovative potential of the people, especially the youth of this country, an ‘In-Residence’ Programme at the Rashtrapati Bhavan was initiated. It was originally announced by the President at the annual Conference of Directors of NITs in October 2014.
Similar programmes already exist for writers, artists and grass root innovators. The same will be extended to ‘Inspired’ teachers from Central Universities soon. President Mukherjee has always held that the Rashtrapati Bhavan belongs to the nation and the people at large. The ‘In-Residence’ Programme will take the continuing engagement of Rashtrapati Bhavan with the people to the next level.
As part of the ';In-Residence'; Programme envisaged to encourage the creative and innovative potential of people and open up Rashtrapati Bhavan for greater participation and involvement of common man in its activities, two schemes were launched on December 11, 2013 as a gateway to creative persons - writers, artists and innovation scholars to stay in Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The objectives of the Scheme are (i) To provide an environment to grassroots innovators in Rashtrapati Bhavan to work on a project in hand and take their innovative ideas forward; (ii) To provide linkages with technical institutions to the selected innovators to strengthen their capacity to innovate; and (iii) To provide mentoring and support so that the innovations can be used for the progress and welfare of the society.
