“It is through the thinking process that new concepts are introduced. To express these concepts, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation is providing a platform for the students through the ‘Innovation Festival’. This is our attempt to globally bring selected concepts through taken during the Innovation Festival. Even if at least one person earns a name worldwide, the purpose of this initiative will be achieved”, Mayor Nanda Jichkar was speaking during the Mayor Innovation Council held at Suresh Bhatt Auditorium on Thursday.

Speaking further, Mayor Nanda Jichkar said, “The energy of the students should go in a positive direction.” Efforts should be made to bring the concepts that come into our heads to the truth.
