the

change
maker
event in
the era
of
innovation.
He

the
College
of
Engineering
Pune,
which
was an
engineering
institute
that was
started
even
before
IIT's
and
IIM's.
"Nearly
23 teams
approached
us for
participating
in the
Innompic
Games,
but
being a
beta
version,
we began
with
just
four
teams
for now.
These
teams
are
India,
International,
Russia
and
Malaysia.
We are
here to
change
the game
of
history,"
he said. Jagdale
added
that
many
young
people
participating
at the
event
are
trying
to
innovate
to help
tackle
core
problems
such as
diseases,
terrorism,
environmental
issues
and
poverty.
“These
problems
have
roots in
every
nation
and they
can be
eradicated
only
with the
younger
generation’s
participation,”
said
Jagdale.

strength,
here in
Innompic

we are
testing

strength
of an

The idea

creating
something
is a
first
step
which
can lead
to many
breakthroughs.”
