Applications are invited for the Generative AI Hackathon 2025 by BharatGen in New Delhi. The application deadline is March 31, 2025!
BharatGen, a suite of Generative AI technologies for India,” is an innovative initiative led by TIH IIT Bombay, supported under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. The initiative unites a consortium of top academic institutions, with the goal of advancing generative AI technologies and fostering a dynamic AI ecosystem tailored to meet the diverse and unique needs of India.
The Generative AI Hackathon offers an exciting opportunity for students at all levels—undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD—to explore the limitless potential of artificial intelligence. Participants will have the chance to push the boundaries of AI innovation, develop cutting-edge projects, network with AI experts, and compete for exciting prizes.
Each theme presents a real-world problem where the application of artificial intelligence has the potential to create significant positive impact. Explore the themes, choose the one that ignites your passion, and let your creativity soar! Our goal is to build solutions not demos, to build IPs not just use APIs.

The Challenge: Making government resources transparent and easy to obtain and interact with.
Potential Problems to Solve:
