About the Startup Cell
Start-Up Cell was established under the Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme, Phase-III (TEQIP-III) (as per the Start-up policy launched by AICTE on 16th November 2016). The cell with its team of chairman, coordinators, faculty members, and E-cell student volunteers of the institute is meant for nurturing the potential start-up ideas that will cater to the need of both tech and non-tech solutions to various social, economic and industrial problems of the nation. With a vision to cultivate the young innovators studying in NIT-Arunachal Pradesh, we established an Innovation Centre in 2019 supported by TEQIP-III and together we call Prakousol. Our plan is to create a facility in NIT-AP, where students of any branches can avail tools and types of equipment to have a hands-on experiment to realize their innovative ideas. This facility called a common facility center of ideas and innovation, where resources from different disciplines are available under one single center.
