India Fights CORONA Virus

COVID-19 is spreading rapidly at an unprecedented scale across continents and has emerged as the single biggest risk the world has faced in modern times. Only science and technology in the hands of capable scientists and innovators can come to our rescue in developing innovative but effective solutions as we prepare for a future, which in the very short term looks increasingly uncertain. MHRD Innovation cell & AICTE in partnership with Forge & InnovatioCuris have launched the national level 2 Day FightCorona IDEAthon soliciting innovative solutions from student innovators, researchers and educators. 1000s of innovators, researchers, scientists, and educators from across India are joining hands like a true community for this 2-day online IDEAthon to generate and transform innovative ideas into viable solutions that can support the community in managing the uncertainties arising out of the pandemic.

The program shall be hosted completely virtual on the internet during which several ideas to fight the COVID-19 pandemic shall be evaluated, mentored, documented, and selected for the next stages of incubation support. The participants shall go through a rigorous process of idea validation, refinement, solution generation and evaluation, pitching and assessments, to find the most innovative and impactful ideas which will be recognised with cash prizes worth Rs.2,0,00,00 from AICTE for students & educators separately.
