Viksit Bharat Buildathon Today: The Viksit Bharat Buildathon - an initiative aimed at fostering creativity and self-reliance among students - commenced today, October 13, 2025, at 10 am with a prize pool of Rs. 1 crore and ended at 12 pm. The event was live-streamed nationwide and featured teams of three to five students from Classes 6 to 12. Participants were asked to choose one of four themes, identify a real-world problem, and propose an innovative solution.The event was presided over by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
During the event, speakers explained how problems could emerge from everyday experiences - such as a recent incident that made someone happy, a news report that raised concern, or a situation that seemed to require more attention. They emphasized the importance of viewing these challenges through the lens of an "innovator."
At the beginning of the program, a few example problems were shared, including the use of technology to solve farmers' challenges (Atmanirbhar Bharat theme), issues faced by glass workers during a school visit (Swadeshi theme), and the communication needs of artisans (Vocal for Local theme).
The four themes -
Atmanirbhar Bharat: Building self-reliant systems and solutions
Swadeshi: Encouraging indigenous ideas and innovation
Vocal for Local: Promoting local products, crafts, and resources
Samriddhi: Creating pathways to prosperity and sustainable growth
