New Delhi, April 28: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the YUGM Conclave at Bharat Mandapam in the national capital on Tuesday.  YUGM (meaning "confluence" in Sanskrit) is a first-of-its-kind strategic conclave convening leaders from government, academia, industry, and the innovation ecosystem. It will contribute to India's innovation journey, driven by a collaborative project of around Rs 1,400 crore with joint investment from the Wadhwani Foundation and Government Institutions.

In line with the Prime Minister's vision of a self-reliant and innovation-led India, various key projects will be initiated during the conclave. They include Superhubs at IIT Kanpur (AI and Intelligent Systems) and IIT Bombay (Biosciences, Biotechnology, Health and Medicine); Wadhwani Innovation Network (WIN) Centers at top research institutions to drive research commercialization; and partnership with Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) for jointly funding late-stage translation projects and promoting research and innovation. ‘No Need to Worry, PM Narendra Modi Monitoring Situation in Jammu and Kashmir Post Pahalgam Terror Attack’, Says Union Minister Jitendra Singh.
