About the Hackathon

The year 2020 has been hard on many communities across the world, the student community is a prominent one amongst them. However, with substantial difficulties and limited access to on-campus educational resources we, as a community, have found ways to mitigate any loss of learnings.

The pandemic has exposed a lot of gaps in our policy and governance structures, these long unresolved issues and gaps have accentuated the impact of the pandemic on the Nation’s daily life. Impeccable Public Policies would define the next decade.
