Nearly 550 students in Ahmedabad began to work for 36 hours at a stretch on the problem statements defined by the Department of Space, ISRO, hosted by Gujarat Technological University
Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar urged engineering students on Friday to bring solutions to make examinations leakproof.
Javadekar was addressing more than one lakh students of 1,200 colleges participating in the grand finale of Smart India Hackathon 2018 being held at 28 nodal centres across the country.
Javadekar appealed to students through video conferencing: "This (the leak issue) is not a subject of this year's Smart India Hackathon but, after this event, accept this as a challenge and work on a solution for fool-proof examination. Though Google, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, etc., have not been invented in India, there have been Indian brains behind all these innovations. There are many such digital innovations that are wealth creators and India, too, needs to come out with such innovations."
Nearly 550 students in Ahmedabad began to work for 36 hours at a stretch on the problem statements defined by the Department of Space, ISRO, hosted by Gujarat Technological University.
The event that began on Friday at Shivanand Ashram, opposite ISRO, witnessed 550 students of 65 teams across the nation work on problem statements.
The ministry received participation from 27 central ministries and 17 state governments who sent more than 900 problem statements. After scrutinising these statements, 408 problems (340 for software and 68 for hardware) were finally selected for the Hackathon and were put out on MyGov platform.
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) under the aegis of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in collaboration with i4c, MyGov, Persistent Systems and Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhin has organised Smart India Hackathon 2018. It includes 2 sub-editions – Software edition, which is a 36-hr software product development competition. The hardware edition, involving building of hardware solutions will be held later this year.
