Match My TeamAl-Powered Vernacular Pedagogy and Real-Time Translation Tool for Mother Tongue-Based Primary Education
Tribal students in rural Jharkhand struggle in schools because curriculum materials are in English/Hindi while their mother tongues are indigenous tribal languages (Santhali, Ho, Mundari, Kudukh) lacking digital learning resources. Build an AI-powered vernacular pedagogy and real-time speech translation platform that translates school textbooks into tribal audio-visual stories, generates bilingual interactive worksheets, and supports live classroom voice translation.
AI-Enabled Antarctic Sea-Ice, Iceberg Trajectory, and Navigation Decision Support System
Indian Antarctic expeditions (vessels travelling from Cape Town to Bharati/Maitri stations) face catastrophic iceberg collisions, thick pack-ice besetting, and severe polar storms with delayed satellite ice charts. Build an AI-enabled Antarctic sea-ice and iceberg trajectory forecasting decision support platform combining multi-mission SAR satellite imagery (Sentinel-1 / RISAT), optical MODIS feeds, and ocean-wind drift physics to calculate optimal fuel-efficient and safe polar navigation corridors.
To develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) based system for identification, classification, and prediction of different tropical cyclone patterns using multi-source satellite data.
Dense winter radiation fog across the Indo-Gangetic Plains (Delhi, Punjab, UP, Bihar) disrupts hundreds of flights, passenger trains, and highway freight operations daily with low-visibility conditions (<50 meters) that existing numerical models fail to forecast accurately at sub-kilometer scales. Build an AI/ML-based high-resolution fog and visibility nowcasting system combining satellite land surface temperature, boundary layer humidity sensors, and Ceilometer backscatter to forecast Runway Visual Range (RVR) up to 12 hours in advance.
Participants are invited to design and develop **CAPACITY CONNECT A Digital Capacity Building and Learning Management Portal** to support organizational training, competency development, and knowledge sharing through a centralized web-based platform.
Indian researchers, universities, and students struggle to access advanced scientific infrastructure (oceanographic research vessels, supercomputing clusters, polar test facilities, mass spectrometers) across MoES institutes (NCPOR, NIOT, INCOIS, IITM, NCMRWF) due to lack of a unified booking and training ecosystem. Build 'CAPACITY CONNECT'—a centralized digital research capacity building, scientific equipment sharing, and internship management platform for the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES).
AI-Enabled Cooperative Capacity Building, ERP & Employment Ecosystem
India's 850,000+ Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) and cooperative societies struggle with paper registers, fragmented accounting, untrained youth, and lack of modern digital ERP systems, limiting rural job creation. Build an AI-enabled Cooperative Capacity Building, Cloud ERP, and Rural Employment Platform for the Ministry of Cooperation that provides standardized double-entry accounting, automated statutory audit compliance, cooperative skilling courses, and local rural job matching.
AI-Driven voice Assistant for livelihood Mapping and NSQF-Aligned Skilling Recommendations for SC Communities under GIA component of PM-AJAY
Youth from marginalized communities (SC/ST, sanitation worker families, rural artisans) lack career guidance and struggle to navigate complex National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) vocational courses. Build an AI-driven Vernacular Voice Assistant for Livelihood Mapping and NSQF-Aligned Skill Recommendations that assesses an individual's existing informal skills through interactive voice conversations, maps local job market demand, and enrolls them in certified government skilling programs.
Develop an AI enabled learning platform that identifies competency gaps, recommends personalized training through integration with the iGOT Karmayogi ecosystem, and capable of generating Quizzes and Multiple choice questions (MCQs) from uploaded learning materials to strengthen capacity building in India's Official Statistical System.
Statistical officers and data investigators at the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) require continuous upskilling in advanced econometrics, big data analytics, sampling design, and Python/R data science, but existing training is static and classroom-bound. Build an AI-enabled Adaptive Learning and Competency Gap Platform for MoSPI that assesses individual statistical competency levels, identifies skill deficiencies across job roles, and delivers personalized interactive micro-learning modules with coding sandboxes.
Urban Mixed-Use Design Challenge-Design a centrally located mixed-use building in Autodesk Revit with commercial spaces (Ground + 1st floor) and residential units (up to 8 floors). 1 Level of Basement (Car Parking + EV Charging), Total (B+G+9)(Note: Plot size and all required dimensions may be assumed by students (in mm units).
Designing modern urban mixed-use developments (retail, commercial offices, residential) in dense Indian cities requires balancing complex zoning bylaws, pedestrian flow, and high operational energy cooling demands. Build an innovative Urban Mixed-Use Architectural Model in Autodesk Revit & Autodesk Forma featuring a climate-responsive kinetic facade system, daylight-optimized building massing, and automated carbon lifecycle estimation.
Difficulties in tracking employment outcomes,skill gaps, and the impact of skilling initiatives
The Government of Maharashtra invests hundreds of crores in vocational skill training programs (Pramod Mahajan Kaushalya Vikas Yojana, ITI training), but government officials have no reliable mechanism to track longitudinal post-training employment outcomes, wage increments, and job retention rates, leading to unverified placement claims by private training partners. Build a Longitudinal Employment Outcome and Skill Impact Tracking Platform for the Government of Maharashtra that uses EPFO Provident Fund integration, DigiLocker verification, and automated graduate surveys to track career trajectories.
AI-Based Interactive Quantum Algorithm Learning Platform
Engineering students and developers struggle to learn quantum computing because abstract linear algebra concepts (superposition, entanglement, phase kickback, quantum Fourier transform) are taught theoretically without interactive visual intuition or real-time circuit execution. Build an AI-Based Interactive Quantum Algorithm Learning Platform for Egreen Quanta featuring a dynamic 3D Bloch Sphere visualizer, drag-and-drop quantum circuit builder with real-time statevector calculations, and an AI conversational quantum tutor.
Deep Learning Based Super Resolution Mapping (SRM) from Medium Resolution Satellite Imageries
National security and geospatial surveillance agencies under the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) rely on medium-resolution satellite imagery (10 to 30 meters from Sentinel-2, Landsat) which is widely available but too blurry to resolve strategic infrastructure (airfield runways, coastal naval docks, military vehicle convoys). Build a Deep Learning-Based Super Resolution Mapping (SRM) and Spatial Feature Restoration Platform for NTRO that uses generative adversarial super-resolution networks (ESRGAN / Diffusion models) to upscale 10m satellite imagery to <2.5m high-resolution sub-pixel intelligence.
Student Innovation
AICTE Open Innovation: Smart Education & EdTech (Software) — Students in Indian schools and universities suffer from one-size-fits-all rote learning where teachers cannot provide individualized attention, students drop out due to conceptual bottlenecks, and regional language learners struggle with English-only STEM content. Build an AI-Powered Adaptive Learning, Knowledge Tracing, and Vernacular Pedagogical Copilot Platform that continuously diagnoses student concept mastery, generates personalized interactive learning pathways, and translates complex STEM concepts into 12+ Indian languages.
Student Innovation
AICTE Open Innovation: Smart Education & EdTech (Hardware) — Rural and tribal schools in India lack access to expensive computer labs, internet connectivity, and science laboratory equipment, leaving students with purely theoretical textbook learning. Build a Low-Cost, Solar-Powered Interactive STEM Experimentation and Tactile Digital Slate featuring an outdoor e-Paper drawing screen, plug-and-play electronic experiment sensor modules (light, sound, magnetic, temperature), multi-language audio prompts, and offline digital content storage.
