Smart India Hackathon

Innovation and entrepreneurship are at the peak in India. In order to make development a comprehensive mass movement and innovate on all fronts, MHRD, AICTE, i4c and Persistent Systems have come together to organise Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2019 - a unique Open Innovation Model for identifying new and disruptive technology innovations to solve the challenges faced in our country. It's a non-stop product development competition, where problem statements are posed to technology students for innovative solutions. It can help to:

• Harness creativity & expertise of students
• Spark institute-level hackathons
• Build funnel for 'Startup India' campaign
• Crowdsource solutions for improving governance and quality of life
• Provide opportunity to citizens to provide innovative solutions to India's daunting problems

The first two editions SIH2017 and SIH2018 proved to be extremely successful in promoting innovation, out-of-the-box thinking in young minds, especially engineering students from across India.
