A web or mobile app that lets enforcement officials scan product labels to automatically check if packaged commodities comply with Legal Metrology rules and generate violation reports.
Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution · Department of Consumer Affairs (DoCA) · Software
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.
Image Scanning and Upload
Allows users to upload or capture product images and packaging labels for analysis.
Text Extraction and Validation
Extracts mandatory declarations from labels and checks their completeness and correctness.
Font and Readability Analysis
Analyzes font sizes and readability to ensure they meet prescribed rules.
Compliance Report Generator
Generates digital compliance and violation reports in PDF and editable formats with supporting evidence.
Enforcement Dashboard
Provides role-based access for officials to monitor inspections, view product history, and track violations.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The jury will check if the software can accurately extract text from curved or varied package surfaces, correctly validate mandatory declarations against Legal Metrology rules, and generate reliable compliance reports with a functional dashboard.
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.
Exact font size measurement standards in pixels or millimeters?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Specific database schema or backend infrastructure requirements?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
List of predefined error categories beyond what is mentioned?
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 image scanning and upload. How would you build 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 the software can accurately extract text from curved or varied package surfaces, correctly validate mandatory declarations against Legal Metrology rules, and generate reliable compliance reports with a functional dashboard.
This is the evaluator read for your problem statement, decoded from the brief's own wording.
