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.
User Marketplace
Connects farmers and FPOs directly with consumers and bulk buyers for trading.
Logistics Support Module
Provides logistics support to manage the movement of goods from farms to buyers.
AI Demand Forecasting
Uses artificial intelligence to predict future market demand for crops.
Route Optimization
Calculates efficient transport routes to reduce supply chain inefficiencies.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The jury will check if your marketplace connects farmers to buyers, integrates logistics support, and successfully uses AI for demand forecasting and route optimization.
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.
What specific data sources should be used for AI demand forecasting?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
How logistics providers will integrate with the platform?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
What payment mechanisms are required?
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.
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 user marketplace. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26033 itself — Connects farmers and FPOs directly with consumers and bulk buyers for trading. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for logistics support module. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26033 itself — Provides logistics support to manage the movement of goods from farms to buyers. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for ai demand forecasting. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26033 itself — Uses artificial intelligence to predict future market demand for crops. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for route optimization. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26033 itself — Calculates efficient transport routes to reduce supply chain inefficiencies. 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 if your marketplace connects farmers to buyers, integrates logistics support, and successfully uses AI for demand forecasting and route optimization.
This is the evaluator read for your problem statement, decoded from the brief's own wording.
