The Chief Minister said that organizing an impressive summit is necessary to make “India Deep Tech 2025” a success and Uttar Pradesh will play a decisive role in this direction. Announcing to make IIT Kanpur the center of DeepTech innovation, he said that IIT Kanpur will lead the new technological revolution as the country’s DeepTech hub.
