The Department of Science and Technology (DST) will closely engage with startups in India to come out with different kinds of innovative solutions to tackle the COVID-19 health crisis.

The DST has approved the setting up of a Centre for Augmenting WAR with COVID-19 Health Crisis (CAWACH) at a total cost of Rs 56 crore to scout, evaluate, and support innovations and startups that address COVID-19 challenges.

The Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE), a technology business incubator at IIT Bombay supported by DST, has been identified as the implementing agency of the CAWACH.

It will provide access to pan-India networks for testing, trial, and market deployment of these products and solutions in the identified areas of priority COVID-19 solutions.

This will help to address various challenges faced by country due to severe impact of the novel coronavirus. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1585978411.9582863/Coronavirus:-DST-to-work-closely-with-startups-for-innovative-solutions?ref=audio_experience
