A web-based GIS application that integrates geo-coded field images with SRISHTI-DRISHTI satellite data for planners to visualize and analyze watershed development outcomes.

Signing in saves it for your whole team — everyone on your invite link sees the same two entries. Anything you shortlisted while signed out comes with you.
Decomposed from what the description asks for. Nothing added.
Geospatial Data Integration
Integrate geo-coded field images with 30 m spatial resolution satellite datasets from the SRISHTI-DRISHTI platform.
Image Interpretation Engine
Analyze geo-coded imagery to extract information on land use, vegetation status, and water resources.
Thematic Mapping Module
Generate spatial outputs including land use maps, drainage maps, vegetation maps, and change detection products.
Watershed Monitoring Dashboard
Provide a visualization interface for administrators to track watershed interventions and environmental changes over time.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The jury will check whether your application successfully integrates geo-coded ground images with satellite data from the SRISHTI-DRISHTI platform, and whether it generates accurate thematic maps and visual change detection products for watershed planning.
A jury can still ask about these. Decide them deliberately rather than by accident.
Generated from the brief's own wording and the competition's published rules — never from a guess about what this ministry prefers.
API access details or credentials for the SRISHTI-DRISHTI platform?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Specific geographic boundaries or sample watershed datasets for testing?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Has any part of this been shown at a previous event, hackathon or college project?
The guidelines are explicit: your solution must not have appeared in any previous event or programme, of any sort. A recycled project is what a team under time pressure reaches for.
The brief asks for geospatial data integration. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26015 itself — Integrate geo-coded field images with 30 m spatial resolution satellite datasets from the SRISHTI-DRISHTI platform. The brief asks for it by name.
Each one is quoted from a gap in the brief, not a guess about your team.
No measurable target
The description asks for improved accuracy and efficiency in monitoring, but never specifies a quantitative performance or accuracy target.
What the organisers attached, and what the brief assumes you can get.
Same organisation, same year. Reading two of theirs tells you more about what they care about than reading one.
Pick what you are about to do and copy the prompt. It carries the organisers' own wording, the constraints they never spell out, and an instruction not to invent requirements they never set.
Who has this problem, what already exists, and what you would have to find out.
The brief asks for image interpretation engine. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26015 itself — Analyze geo-coded imagery to extract information on land use, vegetation status, and water resources. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for thematic mapping module. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26015 itself — Generate spatial outputs including land use maps, drainage maps, vegetation maps, and change detection products. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for watershed monitoring dashboard. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26015 itself — Provide a visualization interface for administrators to track watershed interventions and environmental changes over time. The brief asks for it by name.
Where does your data come from — a published source, one you collect, or one you generate?
No dataset is attached to this problem statement, so sourcing it is part of the work and nobody told you that.
Why not use what already exists? Name the closest thing to this that is already running.
A team that has not named the alternative themselves is answering this for the first time in the room.
Which single thing will you demonstrate end to end, start to finish, with nothing skipped?
Ours, not a rule: a narrow thing that fully works survives questioning better than a broad thing that half works. If nobody on the team can name it, that is the finding.
Show me this working: the jury will check whether your application successfully integrates geo-coded ground images with satellite data from the SRISHTI-DRISHTI platform, and whether it generates accurate thematic maps and visual change detection products for watershed planning.
This is the evaluator read for your problem statement, decoded from the brief's own wording.
