Coinciding with this auspicious occasion, Aadhaar is moving to the next decade of its existence, with a renewed objective to further improvise resident experience.

The hackathon is starting on 28 Oct 21 at 0000Hrs and will continue till 31 Oct 21 up to 2300Hrs.
The Hackathon is organized under two broad themes - “Authentication reimagined” and “Enhanced enrolment experience”. Under these two broad themes, five problem statements have been curated by the Aadhaar team - which reflects a few of the challenges being faced by the residents. Detailed problem statements have been released at https://hackathon.uidai.gov.in.
Out of 5 problem statements, teams may choose to solve any of the problems to confirm their participation. The solution must be innovative and must be backed by the demonstrable working code to address the challenge being faced by the residents. Hackathon comes with rewarding cash prizes to celebrate the work of the winning team. Each theme carries the following cash rewards:-
