The Atal Innovation Mission signed a Statement of Intent with the Indo-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday to expand Atal Tinkering Labs nationwide. The agreement was formalized at the Embassy of France on the third IFCCI CSR Connect Day 2025 in New Delhi and seeks to advance STEM education through Indo-French corporate partnerships. The collaboration will mobilize CSR funding to improve infrastructure and deepen industry engagement at government schools across India.
Mission Director Deepak Bagla stated that AIM has reached more than 11 million student entrepreneurs through one of the world's largest grassroots innovation programs. The partnership will identify government schools for ATL setup and provide teacher training and innovation challenges. IFCCI has supported 15 laboratories and will scale the initiative through member companies. French Ambassador Thierry Mathou noted that 2026 marks the India-France Year of Innovation as both nations emphasize social progress.
