Innovate for the Future of Agriculture KRITAGYA (Knowledge Sharing, Innovation, Research and Technology-based Agriculture for Youth Advancement) 2.0 is a second edition of the national-level hackathon focused on developing innovative solutions for precision and economical animal farming. This initiative aims to harness the creativity and technical skills of youth across India to address critical challenges in the animal farming sector. By bringing together students, researchers, and innovators, KRITAGYA 2.0 seeks to develop technologies and approaches that can make animal farming more precise, efficient, and economically viable for farmers. The hackathon is organized to create awareness about the potential of technology in transforming traditional animal farming practices and to encourage the development of practical, scalable solutions that can benefit farmers across the country. Developing technologies for precise monitoring, management, and optimization of animal health, nutrition, and production parameters. Designing IoT-based solutions for real-time monitoring of animals, environmental conditions, and resource utilization in animal farms. Creating data-driven solutions and AI models for predictive analysis, disease detection, and decision support in animal farming. Developing cost-effective feed alternatives and optimizing feed utilization for better animal health and reduced farming costs. Creating innovative solutions for managing animal waste, including conversion to energy, fertilizers, and other value-added products. Designing early detection systems, preventive measures, and management strategies for common animal diseases. Encourage young innovators to develop creative solutions for challenges faced in animal farming sectors. Bridge the gap between technological advancements and traditional animal farming practices. Develop solutions that improve productivity and reduce costs for small and marginal animal farmers. Create a network of innovators, researchers, and farmers to collaborate and sustainable develop the animal farming sector. Generate awareness about the importance of innovation and technology adoption in animal farming among stakeholders. Online registration begins for interested participants. Last date for team registration and submission of problem statements. Selected teams will be notified for the hackathon finals.
