This borderless approach encompasses anything and everything that contributes to the nation's security and development across the global landscape, empowering the Council to act as a high velocity strategic responder.

This auxiliary technical coordination body is essential to secure India's technological sovereignty, accelerate the "Lab-to-Field" transition, and ensure that every scale of innovation—from school-level prototypes to advanced R&D—is translated into effective, real-world solutions that safeguard national interests wherever they may be challenged.

Unifying India's Innovation Engine for Aatmanirbhar Bharat & Viksit Bharat 2047

India stands at a historic crossroads of rapid technological acceleration, industrial growth, and evolving security paradigms. Historically, the nation’s greatest scientific breakthroughs have often operated within isolated domains—separated by functional, institutional, and bureaucratic silos.

The National Council of Technological Innovation and Security Development (NCTISD) shatters these traditional boundaries. We serve as India's premier National Strategic Integrator—a single-window 'Ocean of Knowledge' that bridges the gap between academic institutions, premier research bodies, public sector giants, and grassroots innovators.

01

• It is a national innovation and empowerment mission conceptualized and launched by Aerovil Services to inspire and mobilize young students to participate in nation-building actively. It seeks to identify, mentor, and nurture school-level innovators, fostering problem-solving abilities, scientific temper, and leadership qualities aligned with the vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047.

• Through ANIFEAS, Aerovil Services integrates schools, Atal Tinkering Labs (ATLs), and academic institutions and industries into a single innovation ecosystem. Students gain access to Aerovil's network of engineers, scientists, and industry mentors who provide technical guidance in project design, prototyping, and research documentation.

• This collaboration promotes project-based learning, hands-on experimentation, and real-world innovation aligned with NEP 2020 and AIM frameworks. Importantly, ANIFEAS is not limited to Research and Development (R&D) — it encompasses anything and everything that contributes, even at the smallest level, to India's growth, self-reliance, and social advancement. Whether through innovation, environmental sustainability, rural development, digital literacy, defense innovation, or community service - all forms of contribution to the nation's progress fall within the scope of ANIFEAS.

• Through this inclusive approach, Aerovil Services envisions nurturing a generation of responsible and skilled youth who directly advance the ideals of AatmaNirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat 2047.

MOU SIGNED WITH PM SHRI GHSS

• This MoU formally incorporates and implements ANIFEAS within the School, marking its official operational launch at PM SHRI Government HSS, Govt. of. Puducherry. Under this collaboration, the School becomes the first institutional node under this national initiative.

• Furthermore, this MoU is not limited to Research and Development (R&D) activities alone but extends to all forms of collaboration that contribute to national development, technological progress, educational innovation, and self-reliance, thereby directly aligning with the goals of AatmaNirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat.

• A single-window 'Ocean of Knowledge' where even a school student's fresh idea can be fast-tracked through our ANIFEAS framework to solve multi-billion-dollar industrial problems. By merging grassroots agility with high-end strategic research, we ensure that no innovation is too small and no national challenge is too complex. With us, you don't just get a partner; you get the entire strength of India's innovation engine in one place.
