Selected Idea – My
favorite
• "Nurture an Idea" cell to
help students nurture in a
direction with respect to
their ideas
• An idea can be someone’s baby,
but it needs expert advice to
nurture it effectively.
• “Nurture An Idea” cell will be a
cell of expert group that will act
as a catalyst to give direction to
any idea.
