By providing access to learning in one's language and culture, Atal Innovation Mission aims to create equal opportunity for the vernacular innovators.<br />'' <br />'' To build the necessary capacity for the Vernacular Innovation Program, VIP Atal Innovation Mission has identified and will be training a Vernacular Task Force in each of the 22 scheduled languages. Each task force comprises vernacular language teachers,  subject experts,  technical writers, and the leadership of regional Atal Incubation Centres.  <br />'' <br />'' Launching the VIP,  NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Dr Rajiv Kumar said innovation will be taken to the grassroots with this initiative. He said through this, innovation can become a Jan Andolan because people are more creative when they think in their own mother tongues rather than in English.  <br />'' <br />'' Speaking during the launch,  NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said diversity of India's languages is not a roadblock but an opportunity.  He said the program is revolutionary as a large population of the country speaks primarily vernacular languages. </span>
