'Exhibition Of Innovations' At President's Estate To Be Open For Viewing Till March 14

The 'Exhibition of Innovations' inaugurated by the President of India, Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil yesterday, at the President's Estate of Rashtrapati Bhavan, shall remain open for viewing by the general public till March 14th. The Exhibition will be open for viewing from 1000 hrs to 1700 hrs. Entry would be from Gate No. 35 of Rashtrapati Bhavan, situated near North Avenue.

This is perhaps the first time ever that a Head of State anywhere, has hosted an exhibition of innovations. The showcasing of this exhibition is in consonance with the vision of the President and inspiration received by the nation, following the declaration of this decade as the 'Decade of Innovation'. The President feels that the 'business as usual' approach will not do and there is a need for focusing on new ways of doing things in this decade. The event is therefore a lead taken by Rashtrapati Bhavan in this direction. The exhibition places before the public, innovations principally from grassroots innovators from unorganized sectors.
