A GIS-enabled web platform that lets disaster management authorities map hazard red zones, check carrying capacity of safer sites, and plan relocation for vulnerable habitations.
Ministry of Home Affairs · National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), DM Division · Software
Signing in saves it for your whole team, so 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.
GIS Mapping Interface
A map-based interface that displays hazard red zones and alternative sites.
Red Zone Engine
An analysis module that updates red zones using hazard intensity, vulnerability, and history.
Carrying Capacity Calculator
A tool that assesses the suitability and capacity of safer relocation sites.
Relocation Priority Tool
A module that ranks vulnerable habitations for immediate, short-term, and medium-term relocation.
Decision Support Dashboard
A dashboard that provides actionable insights for State Disaster Management Authorities.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The evaluators will check if the platform can dynamically map and update red zones, assess site capacity accurately, and generate reliable relocation priorities for state authorities using integrated hazard and vulnerability data.
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 GIS data formats or sources are available?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
What metrics define carrying capacity limits?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Which historical disaster databases should be integrated?
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 gis mapping interface. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26191 itself: A map-based interface that displays hazard red zones and alternative sites. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for red zone engine. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26191 itself: An analysis module that updates red zones using hazard intensity, vulnerability, and history. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for carrying capacity calculator. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26191 itself: A tool that assesses the suitability and capacity of safer relocation sites. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for relocation priority tool. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26191 itself: A module that ranks vulnerable habitations for immediate, short-term, and medium-term relocation. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for decision support dashboard. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26191 itself: A dashboard that provides actionable insights for State Disaster Management Authorities. 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 evaluators will check if the platform can dynamically map and update red zones, assess site capacity accurately, and generate reliable relocation priorities for state authorities using integrated hazard and vulnerability data.
This is the evaluator read for your problem statement, decoded from the brief's own wording.
Each one is quoted from a gap in the brief, not a guess about your team.
Needs data you may not get
The system requires detailed hazard intensity, population vulnerability, and disaster history data that students do not possess.
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.
