Transform Urban India National Student Challenge 2012
Last Date : 15th September, 2012
The Transform Urban India National Student Challenge 2012 is a part of the Indian Institute for Human Settlements’ overall efforts to elicit
young India’s views on urbanisation challenges and support them in transforming the urban landscape in India. National Student Challenge
is supported by Rockefeller Foundation.
It includes two components - the student challenge and an academic conclave.
The Student Challenge encourages students to design innovative
solutions to pressing urban challenges through the formation of
interdisciplinary teams and the submission of a proposal which
includes a Problem Statement and a Solution Statement.
The Academic Conclave invites young researchers to share their
research work in the field of urbanisation. This year's theme for the
Academic Conclave is "Basic Services in Urban Areas". The winning
teams get an implementation grant of INR 3 lakhs each in the National
Student Challenge in addition to other awards and a chance to interact
with leading urban experts.
IIHS would like to invite students from all disciplines to participate
in the National Student Challenge 2012. Students pursuing graduation,
post-graduation and doctoral studies are eligible to participate in
the Student Challenge, whereas the Academic Conclave is open to
students pursuing bachelor's and masters' degree.
Participation in the National Student Challenge 2012 would offer opportunities for
students to be mentored by experts, to present their solutions to a
distinguished panel at a national-level event in November 2012 at
Bangalore and to obtain an opportunity to bring their solutions to life.
Last date for registration of teams for the National Student Challenge is 15th September 2012 and last date for submission of proposals is
5th October 2012. The last date for submission of abstracts for the Academic Conclave is 1st October 2012.
