Toycathon 2021 is an inter-ministerial initiative brought up to challenge India’s innovative minds to conceptualize novel Toy and Games which are based on Bharatiya civilization, history, culture, mythology, ethos and aspirations of today’s generation.
The initiative is by Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell with support from All India Council for Technical Education, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Ministry of MSME, Ministry of Textiles and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
Under the initiative ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ by PM Narendra Modi, Toycathon 2021 is an unconventional way to invite ideas from the innovative minds of India in order to make India Atmanirbhar in the toy manufacturing and digital game market.
Though India is a home of many globally popular games like Chess, Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, still it is not among the leading developers and manufacturers of toys. Toycathon 2021 aims at developing toys with a focus on the Indian market, ethos and safety standards.
