Saarthi, One Boat Solution, Coding Gurus, Team Anurved, CodeZ, AANYA, Typewriters – II, INSIGHTS, Bhasha Setu and Leviosa were the 10 teams that emerged as winners.
Recounting his experience, Prasad Ajay Mahankal, Team Leader of Team Anurved, noted: “We have incorporated innovative technologies like geo-tagging and GIS-like systems to create a web application, which is a role-based model focussing on creating task-based system. This will enable efficient inter-departmental cooperation for government employees and avoid potential conflicts. We are tremendously grateful for this opportunity, and wish to give our prototype a professional look soon”.
