Overview of Smart India Hackathon-2017

Our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, envisages a Digital India to bridge the digital
divide in our country and further promote digital literacy in order to make development a
comprehensive mass movement and put governance within everyone’s reach in India.

In order to work towards our PM’s vision, Ministry of HRD, All India Council for Technical
Education (AICTE) proposed the Smart India Hackathon 2017, a unique initiative to identify
new and disruptive digital technology innovations for solving the challenges faced by our
country. This initiative aimed to institutionalize a model for harnessing the creativity and
technical expertise of 3.0 + million students for direct benefit of our nation.

Smart India Hackathon 2017 was a computer programming competition which involved all
Engineering colleges with a reach to approximately 30 Lakh students from across India. It was a
plan to challenge the students to think out-of-the-box and offer innovative ideas to built smart
applications which will help address major real time problems in our country.

Twenty-nine Departments of Government of India participated in this event. Each Department

had identified few problem statements to which students were expected to provide innovative,
sustainable digital solutions. This was the first effort by Government of India to involve young
students in proposing solutions for problems faced by Departments in day-to-day functioning.
This led the students to think out of box and provide innovative, disruptive and sustainable
solutions, which could be pursued after the Hackathon for further refining of solutions.
The Students of 3rd year Information Technology had participated in this event under the
guidance of Prof. Priyank Bhojak, Information Technology Department, and represented BVM
