The model utilizes platforms such as hackathons, ideathons, and innovation cells to validate and grade student work. It encourages active collaboration between institutions, industries, and government bodies to support technology transfer and real-world deployment. Grassroot innovators, including non-students, are also welcomed to contribute and benefit from the structure.

This framework aligns national innovation goals with academic assessment, empowering institutions to act as incubation hubs for community-based innovation and development."
