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.
Price and Market Aggregator
Collects and displays current prices, demand, and arrival volumes from various markets.
Farmer and FPO Portal
Allows users to create crop lots, view price trends, and get sale-window recommendations.
Buyer Matching System
Connects farmers with verified institutional buyers and digital trading channels.
Logistics and Storage Coordinator
Helps manage transport options, storage availability, and post-harvest handling.
Transaction and Dispute Tracker
Records digital offers, tracks payments, and supports grievance resolution processes.
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 platform covers the full cycle from price discovery and quality grading to logistics coordination and payment tracking. They will evaluate how well you reduce information asymmetry and whether farmers can realistically use your tool to get better prices.
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 mandis or geographic regions must be integrated first?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
What authentication or verification documents are required for buyers?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Which payment gateways or financial institutions should be connected?
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.
Each one is quoted from a gap in the brief, not a guess about your team.
No measurable target
The description expects improved price realisation and reduced post-harvest loss, but never specifies a numerical percentage or target for success.
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.

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 platform covers the full cycle from price discovery and quality grading to logistics coordination and payment tracking.
