The show will bring together teams from over 100 colleges,who will be given a socially relevant topic and later asked to upload the video of their recommendations to tackle an issue. As the show progresses,the battle between colleges will narrow down. Initially,a jury will pass a verdict on the videos and,at a later stage,it will be left open for online voting.

The show is designed to bring out issues that the youth feels strongly about and offers them a platform for expression,serious conversation and an environment that is a ground for change,
