Srinagar, Oct 03: The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, has launched the Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025, a nationwide innovation movement set to engage students from schools having classes 6th to 12th.

This would be India’s largest-ever student innovation initiative and an important step towards the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047.

The Buildathon calls upon students of Grades 6–12 to join teams, think creatively, and develop ideas and prototypes that address real-life challenges. Students will work around four themes of national importance:

Atmanirbhar Bharat – building self-reliant systems and solutions

Swadeshi – fostering indigenous ideas and innovation

Vocal for Local – promoting local products, crafts, and resources

Samriddhi – creating pathways to prosperity and sustainable growth

Students, teachers, and schools across the country are encouraged to participate wholeheartedly in this movement.

"It is not just a competition, but a platform to showcase creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills at a national and global level," the official handout reads.

To encourage and recognise student innovators, schools will submit their entries in the form of photos and videos.

A national panel of experts will evaluate the entries, and the top student teams will be awarded prizes. Beyond recognition, these schools and students will receive long-term support through corporate adoption, mentorship, and resources to further strengthen their innovations.

Key Features of the Buildathon will enable Students innovating together in the world’s largest live innovation activity and provide hands-on, experiential learning in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020

"It will have inclusive participation with special focus on Aspirational Districts, Tribal and Remote Regions," the handout reads.

The Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 is a clarion call to students to dream big, innovate fearlessly, and contribute to India’s journey towards becoming a developed nation by 2047.

"Every school and every student are invited to take part in this movement, showcase their talent, and make their mark as the innovators of tomorrow," it reads.

The Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 is more than an event—it is a movement to ignite young minds, celebrate innovation, and strengthen the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

"Every student is urged to rise to the challenge and be a proud contributor to India’s innovation story," the official handout reads.
