ARIIA
The Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA) is an initiative by the Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India, designed to systematically rank major higher educational institutions and universities in India based on their innovation, startup, and entrepreneurship development among students and faculty. The primary objectives of ARIIA are to promote innovation, recognize institutions making significant contributions to this area, provide a reliable assessment framework, and foster collaboration among institutions to enhance innovation outputs.
Ranking highly in ARIIA enhances an institution's reputation, attracting better students, faculty, and funding. It also aids the government and policymakers in understanding and improving the innovation ecosystem in educational institutions.
By promoting healthy competition and encouraging institutions to provide better facilities and support, ARIIA plays a crucial role in fostering a robust startup ecosystem and contributing to the nation's development through an innovation-driven culture in Indian educational institutions.
