Under this, there are plans to create a startup fund, incubator network and a dedicated youth platform. Along with this, a 'research repository' like a common library of science for eleven countries and a framework for extensive use of digital infrastructure and AI in areas like agriculture, health, labor market and urban transport has also been presented.
