Nasscom Foundation, in collaboration with MphasiS, a leading IT services and solutions provider, has launched the 9th edition of Nasscom Social Innovation Forum - a platform that fosters innovative use of technology to create sustained social impact.
The programme instituted since 2008, selects, awards and supports to scale innovative ICT-based projects, including products and solutions, that have the potential to address critical gaps in key developmental areas and thus contribute to inclusive growth.
With support from MphasiS, the forum will award grants to the tune of ₹ 60 lakh to scalable innovations with a potential to create large-scale impact in primary and secondary education in India, the forum said in a release.
With support from Accenture Labs, the forum will provide technology development and advisory support to select NGOs and social innovations, it added.
