- IMPRINT (IMPacting Research INnovation and Technology) is a first-of-its-kind Pan-IIT and IISc joint initiative to develop a new education policy and a roadmap for research to solve major engineering and technology challenges that India must address and champion to enable, empower and embolden the nation for inclusive growth and self-reliance.
- The ten domains that represent the most important areas for the country along with their coordinating institutes are:
- Healthcare Technology
- Computer Technology
- Advance Materials
- Water Resources
- Sustainable Habitat
- Security and Defense
- Manufacturing Technology
- Nano-technology Hardware
- Environment and Climate
- Energy Security
- The scheme was released in 2015 by Ministry of Human Resource Development.
- The principal motto remains the same for each domain: (a) to create an education policy for inculcating scientific temperament and innovation skill, and (b) to develop the research roadmap for technology preparedness.
