The agriculture sector in India is one of the major contributors to the economy. 70% of the rural household depends on agriculture as the source of income. With the development of technology, communication, transportation and science, agriculture is now facing an evolution. If India’s GDP has to grow by 9-10% for the next few years, the revolution in agriculture will be a catalyst to such fast-paced growth. Can you hack a new trend in the field of agriculture? Drones? Eliminating the middleman? New mobility approach in farming? Bring it on! Hack a solution and be the reason for this change!

“Open government is critical to an informed public, and an informed public is critical to democracy.” It is a truly challenging task to adopt transparency and bring reality to each and every person, especially when our population is edging 1.3 Billion people. Transparency adds clarity and accountability to a system, that left unchecked, is prone to corruption Rumours, faulty information, accusations, miscommunications lead to a tangled web of fallacies. We live in the information age, and transparency in politics is something we deserve as citizens As we head into the next decade and hope that the youth will drive the political narrative of the country, this is a very important issue which needs to be solved. Mobile applications? BlockChain? Artificial Intelligence? Get a solution to the table and we'll reward you well!

For every step we take into the future, technology seems to take leap simplifying human tasks and advancing at the same time. The one who possesses knowledge shall survive, but the rest are left behind. This track’s sole purpose is to help living beings with the help of technology. Tech for the specially-abled? Simplifying the user interfaces for the elderly? Prosthetics for animals? Find a problem, hack a solution!

Transportation, once dependent on foot or animals only, went through a revolution after the invention of the wheel, engines and mass production of vehicles. We now live in an era where mobility is advancing in ways one can't imagine, fighting climate change, automation, rovers on Mars and other spatial bodies, and even cars that get rated 5-star safety for Indian roads. Mobility of the future needs vision, guts, and creativity to adapt to the pace of our technological advancement. With the government giving a major push towards electric mobility, it will be the preferred mode of transport in the coming decade. Do you have what it takes to make an impact? Bring it on!
