Hackathons & Innovation Challenges

Smart India Hackathon (SIH) is a nationwide initiative to provide students with a platform to solve some of the pressing problems we face in our daily lives, and thus inculcate a culture of product innovation and a mindset of problem-solving. Over 50+ ministries and state governments release real-world problem statements.
