The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has become the first amongst States/UTs to establish an Atal Tinkering Lab in partnership with the government think tank NITI Aayog. NITI Aayog is keen to replicate the J&K model of Atal Tinkering Lab to all parts of India on 50:50 cost sharing basis. An Atal Tinkering Lab provides a space where young minds can give shape to their ideas through hands on do-it-yourself mode and learn innovation skills. To foster entrepreneurship and innovation, Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog has established over 10000 ATLs across the country so far enabling over 3 Million+ students between Grade VI to Grade XII acquire a problem solving, tinkering and innovative mindset. The aim is to encourage young minds in the field, and challenge students to become producers of products themselves instead of consumers.
