Gentle Reminder: SMART INDIA HACKATHON 2023
Dear Students,
The Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell (MIC) in Coordination with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has launched the Smart India Hackathon(SIH) 2023.
In the last 6 years, SIH has evolved into the world’s Largest Open Innovation Model to solve some of the pressing problems we face in our daily lives, thus inculcating a culture of product innovation and a problem-solving mindset. Moreover, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India has applauded the SIH initiative on multiple occasions which has helped kick-start the hackathon culture in India. The previous editions of SIH have proven to be extremely beneficial for the students in establishing startups and employment opportunities in various organizations.
Likewise, the previous editions of Smart India Hackathon, this year’s edition also focuses on software and hardware approaches to develop innovative solutions against challenges faced by India's governing agencies including Ministries, Departments, and PSUs.
The deadline for college registration, team nomination, and idea submission is 10th October 2023.
