\ud83d\udccc About the Challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DRISHTI<\/strong> (Design-led Research & Innovation Support for High-Tech Integration) features 101 specific problem statements<\/strong> curated by various Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs)<\/strong> like HAL, BEL, BEML, and Mazagon Dock. Unlike the central iDEX grants, these projects are managed and funded directly by the respective DPSUs, ensuring a direct customer relationship between the innovator and the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
