This is a pilot initiative to capture the interest from various demographics of the village and learn various support mechanisms that could be established.

Today on the occasion of Republic Day, it is attempted for the first time in four villages of Bhupalapally, Wanaparthy, Mahabubabad, and Mulugu districts, where village panchayats recognised the innovators. The intention of such activities is to pave way for creating and scouting more innovators."
