On the occasion,\u00a0Cohort 2 of AMRITVA\u00a0(Alliance for Medicinal Research, Innovation, Translation & Value Acceleration) to strengthen India\u2019s innovation system and enable\u00a0translation of research outcomes into viable pharmaceutical products and entrepreneurial ventures was also launched.\u00a0 AMRITVA is\u00a0implemented by the Startup Incubation and Innovation Centre (SIIC), IIT Kanpur, in partnership with the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Raebareli.\u00a0This is an initiative supported under\u00a0Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)\u00a0by Boehringer Ingelheim India Pvt.
