This event has been launched with the aim of fostering a Problem-solving mindset among students in India. It is largely felt that the student community in the country, though highly enthusiastic and innovative, does not still have enough chances to work on the burning technical problems of the day.
Idea Challenge aims to provide the students with one such platform and to direct them to use their creativity for the betterment of the society.
