HACKATHON” IN 2017, 2018 AND 2019

Video Messages

Anand Deshpande(Chairman Persistent System) and Anil Sahasrabudhe(Chairman AICTE)

thanking them for experimenting and finding solution to the problems of private and government

institutes. The students were congratulated for being top 11000 students out of 200000 participants

and they were wished Luck for their competition.

Shri R. Subrahmanyam (Secretary, Department of Higher Education, MHRD) through a video

message said the synergy is coming together within students, with society, with industry and

academic institutes through such hackathons.

Prakash Javadekar (Union Human Resource Development Minister) through a video message

informed that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will address the Grand Finale of Smart India

Hackathon (Software) 2019.

He said that in SIH 2019, the students would also have the opportunity to work on challenges

faced within the private sector organizations and create world class solutions for some of the top

companies in the world, thus helping the Private sector hire the best minds from across the nation.

The SIH is the largest ever Hackathon in the world and the only one to be held at the national

level.

He further said “Jo khoj karte hai vahi aage badhte hai”. In every innovation around the world

there was always an Indian mind present. The problem of our country is ‘We are contributors of

innovation not owners of innovation’. Even Bill Gates said if I don’t take Indian engineers in

Microsoft they will start their own Microsoft, so that’s the power of Indian minds. He asked

participants to be owner of innovation and wished them luck for the greatest technology

hackathon.

Corporate Mentoring at NDIM

Each student is attached to an industry mentor under this programme. Industry mentors connect

NDIM students to the practical world of reality and guide them to real life corporate culture and

success skills. This unique initiative at NDIM prepares students for leadership roles as they

learn directly from the employers in their offices.

NDIM had the honor of 21 mentors mentoring 134 students of 1st year during the month.
