ABHIPRERNA, Innovation Challenge


This is a call to all young enthusiasts to team up & generate ideas which can improve the motivation of school-teachers.

Stand a chance to see your idea being a reality & win cash prizes!

It is well known that the role of teachers is most important in realizing the goal of imparting quality education. And there is an immediate need to pay attention to the fact that a mere graduate degree may be a necessary but not a sufficient condition to become a school teacher. There is a need to expedite the process of improving teacher motivation in schools so that a child's education is not affected.

ABHIPRERANA is a collective initiative to improve teachers’ motivation in Government Schools. This challenge invites young student ideators and thinkers to come up with innovative ideas and proposals to improve the motivation of our school-teachers and in turn, improve the quality of education imparted.

ELIGIBILITY

An individual or a team of up to 3 students, from the same college or different colleges (UG/PG/Diploma Courses/Fellowships, enrolled in any degree/non-degree course in a college/university) can participate in the challenge.

The prize value for the winning hacks will remain the same, regardless of team size.
