The Hackathon will take place on the MyGov platform, from February 25 to March 31. Students pursuing undergraduate or post-graduate studies or doing research can participate. The top 30 entries, selected by a panel of expert evaluators from the industry and academia will get prize money, with one first prize of Rs 2 lakh, followed by two second prizes of Rs 1 lakh each, two third prizes of Rs 50,000 each and 25 consolation prizes of Rs 20,000 each, the MoSPI statement said.
The hackathon will invite participants to explore and analyse official statistics from the reports, microdata, and other datasets available on the website of the ministry, such as the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), Household Consumer Expenditure Survey (HCES), Annual Survey of Industries (ASI), Consumer Price Index (CPI), Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and more to create impactful visualisations to support evidence-based policymaking in the journey towards Viksit Bharat, the statement added.
