From the Northeast to the Nation Meet the Innovator! The most impactful innovations are often shaped by the communities they serve. In Manipur, Imphal Machines, founded by Dayanidhi Huidrom, is designing technologies around the realities of the Northeast. From solar dryers to ginger and turmeric washers, these locally manufactured solutions are helping farmers and rural enterprises process more, reduce losses, and create greater value closer to where produce is grown. By addressing local challenges with context-specific innovation, the enterprise is strengthening decentralized value chains and showing how grassroots technologies can drive more resilient livelihoods. This is one of many innovations emerging from the Northeast, where local ingenuity is creating solutions with the potential to transform livelihoods far beyond the region.

A powerful truth is echoing across the discussions at the Regional AIM Incubator Conclave today: to build true resilience, we must design closer to the communities. The breakthrough solutions to our most critical livelihood challenges don't need to be invented from scratch—the innovations are already taking place right here. All we need to do is look around. The unique terrains, microclimates, and cultural contexts of the Northeast have naturally birthed deeply resilient, grassroots technologies. To honor this ingenuity and bring it to a national stage, AIC SELCO Foundation and Solutions Portal are proud to launch our new campaign brief, dedicated to mapping and scaling local technology providers across Northeast India. Whether it is processing machinery for high-value crops like ginger and turmeric, climate-controlled animal husbandry systems, or energy-efficient textile tools, these technologies are built to endure. And because they can thrive under the demanding conditions of the Northeast, they hold the inherent power to transform underserved communities across the entire nation. The effort is towards bridging the gap between local impact and pan-India markets. Are you a technology provider or innovator based in the Northeast? Feature your climate-smart, energy-efficient innovations on a national digital marketplace. Let the country note your solutions, connect with social enterprises, and scale your impact. 👉 Register your innovation today: https://lnkd.in/dG5YMqmi #AIMSumvaad #NITIAayog #AtalInnovationMission #NortheastInnovation #SustainableLivelihoods #ClimateSmartTechnology #CleanEnergy #GrassrootsInnovation Atal Innovation Mission Official | Deepak Bagla | Prateek Deshmukh | Vitasta T. | GOPI KRISHNAKANTH ADDANKI | Thumu Bharath Simha Reddy | Misba Suroor | Axis Bank Foundation | Solomon J Manohar | Harshvardhan Dhawan | Dhruvi Shah | Ashraya Hastha Trust | Vikram Patel | Sonya P. | CDSL - Central Depository Services India Ltd | Nehal Vora | Vinay Madan | Surbhi Singhvi | Sony | Vinutha Raja | Muthuraj Adiga | IKEA Foundation | Waverley Street Foundation | The Lemelson Foundation | The DOEN Foundation | Good Energies Foundation

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧. This Pride Month, we celebrate LGBTQIA+ workers and entrepreneurs who are transforming adversity into opportunity and building pathways to a more inclusive and resilient future.   On the last day of the month, we spotlight a last-mile story of inclusion.

After years of navigating uncertain livelihoods in Bengaluru and later working in a hotel, Manjunath aspired to build a future through self-employment and financial independence. With support via loan from the #UdyoginiScheme, in collaboration with SELCO Foundation and the Department of Women and Child Development, Karnataka, Manjunath established a 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐱, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬. What began as a small enterprise has grown into a thriving business, earning up to INR 15,000-20,000 (USD 158-211)/month while supporting their family and inspiring others in the transgender community to pursue entrepreneurship. Manjunath says, "𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐈'𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Across the dairy value chain, climate-smart technologies are transforming how milk is produced, processed, and delivered. From cool-roof dairy sheds with lights, fans, and foggers that keep animals comfortable, to hydroponic units (soil-free water-based growing system) that ensure year-round feed, to instant milk chillers and bulk cooling systems that preserve freshness, and reefer (refrigerated) vans that enable safe long-distance transport, each innovation helps close a critical gap in the system. Together, these solutions are not just improving efficiency. They are building a more resilient, reliable, and future-ready dairy sector.
