About KRITAGYA 2.0

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.
