Yukti 2.0: All You Need To Know

Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has designed an online portal for multiple depositories like ideas, innovation, and contributions from students and teachers, on 23 June 2020. The depository is being called Yukti 2.0 by the MHRD and will be available for the disposal of anyone willing to expand their knowledge horizon.

1. It is the logical extension of an earlier version of ‘YUKTI’ (Young India combating COVID with Knowledge, Technology, and Innovation).

2. The portal will establish a two-way communication channel between the Ministry of HRD and the institutions, to provide a support system for the institutions.

3. The Minister had launched the YUKTI web portal on 11 April 2020.

4. The portal will give inputs for better planning and will enable the ministry to monitor effectively its activities for the coming six months.

5. The institutions can also share their strategies for tackling the COVID-19 situation.

6. The platform is not just a database; it acts like an online market where people who sell ideas and buy ideas will co-exist. It will act as the missing link between innovation and commercialization.

7. The portal is not restricted to students, from farmers to working-class, anyone with an idea can log in to the website.

8. Any start-up or innovation idea can be put in the portal and then commercialized. Two people can connect on ideas on the website.

9. The platform will bring together technologies from students, faculties, and startups so that they can be showcased to the investor community such as businessmen, farmers, and industrialists.

10. This will assist students to start their own startups and will also create innovation and entrepreneurship and would give a start to PM’s Atma Nirbhar Bharat.

11. The portal intends to cover the different dimensions of COVID-19 challenges in a very holistic and comprehensive way.

12. YUKTI 2.0 will also help in fostering the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in our academic institutions.
