Notification Service
Sends SMS or app notifications to keep farmers updated.
Status Tracking
Tracks and displays procurement and payment status for the users.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The jury will check whether the platform successfully handles farmer registration, slot booking, and real-time queue management. They will look for working SMS or app notifications and clear status tracking for procurement and payments.
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.
Which specific SMS gateway or communication provider to use?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
What database or backend infrastructure is expected?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
The expected scale or number of concurrent users?
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.

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 the platform successfully handles farmer registration, slot booking, and real-time queue management.

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.
