In our country, we have millions of technocrats who have the ability to solve complex problems in the field of technology but unfortunately these technocrats themselves are facing problems. "The Government has started taking several initiatives to solve the problems of the technocrats and one of them is Hackathon 2019," said Abhay Jere Chief Innovation Officer for Ministry of HRD, Government of India.

Dr Jere was in Pune at the Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Lavale to address the students and share with them the initiatives and opportunities provided by the government for start-ups and budding entrepreneurs.
