Hi Ankita,

this seems to be the most challenging of all contests. Are we expected to provide a technical solution? When are the guidelines and format coming up?

Great idea moderators, wonderful way to celebrate anniversary.

We want everyone to get a fair chance at the contest. This is the first time we have organized a contest of this kind and this level. The entries received so far are great, but we would like to have much more number of participants to call it truly fair.

Waiting for more responses to decide if the contest deadline should be kept as it is or extend.

PS: Since we have allowed multiple entries, those who have already submitted their project reports could use the extra to come up with more ideas.

i need a special guideline of 1 month because of loads of codes 😭😭

yeah !! but definitely idea is so interesting , even at some time when i found my self cop up with ideas to remedy some general social issue but don't a medium to share or even convey.

i feel this is the best platform for such enthusiastic work.
Now, its really my responsibility to end up my project as soon as possible and being crazy and do submit ideas whether there's comp or not .. you will sure get my report on at least a issue.
