Union Minister for Education Shri Pralhad Joshi is set to inaugurate the Seva First Innovation Challenge at IISc Bengaluru. The initiative aims to encourage young people from five southern states and three union territories—spanning schools, ITIs, polytechnics, colleges, and universities—to identify community problems and develop implementable solutions. Structured across Junior, Technical, and Open levels, the Challenge focuses on five national themes: Clean and Sustainable Bharat, Prosperous Farmers, Prosperous Bharat, Healthy and Inclusive Bharat, Educated and Skilled Bharat, and Secure Bharat. Registrations are scheduled from September 25 to October 24, 2026, culminating in a National Finale in New Delhi in December 2026. The event is organised jointly by the Union Education Ministry, AICTE, and UGC, with IISc Bengaluru as the nodal institute.
