India's rank in the Global Innovation Index has risen from 81st to 40th, President Droupadi Murmu said here on Tuesday.
She was speaking after launching ‘herSTART’, a platform for women entrepreneurs created by Gujarat University.
“I am informed that this university has over 450 start-ups. Out of which over 125 are headed by women,” Ms. Murmu said.
“It is a matter of pride for me to inaugurate the herSTART platform. This will be a bridge for budding entrepreneurs with government schemes and private funds,” she said.
Ms. Murmu started her two-day visit to Gujarat, her first to the State since taking over as President, on Monday.
“Recently, in the Global Innovation Index 2022, India which was at 81st position earlier has come up to the 40th position,” she further said, underlining the importance of start-ups.
Start-ups will help create new jobs too, she added.
