- STI Hubs will not only promote scientific talent but also contribute to socio-economic development of these communities.
- In the last two years, 20 STI Hubs (13 for SCs and 7 for STs) have already been established by DST
STI hubs will have mainly three-fold objectives:
- To address the weakest linkages in the predominant livelihood systems through Science & Technology (S&T) interventions
- Creation of social enterprises based on the strengths in livelihood systems
- To improve the Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) through inputs of S&T for strengthening the livelihoods.
