Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025: Live streaming for ‘school hackathon’ today

The ministry of education will hold a nationwide synchronised live Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 streaming across all schools today, October 13, from 10 am onwards. The live streaming invites all schools and teachers to empower Class 6 to 12 students to showcase their creativity and problem-solving skills.

The live streaming initiative aims to strengthen the culture at schools by encouraging students to ideate or build prototypes on four themes – Atmanirbhar Bharat, Swadeshi, Vocal for Local, and Samriddh Bharat.

Each team will need to choose one of the four themes and identify a problem statement. Then, the teams will be required to create a 2–5 minute video explaining the problem it is solving, the solution or prototype they have created, how it works, and its impacts.

The buildathon features a Rs 1 crore award pool, which will be distributed among 10 national-level winners, 100 state-level winners, and 1,000 district-level winners.
