    • MSH acts as a national coordination, facilitation and monitoring centre that integrates all the incubation centres, start-ups and innovation related activities of MeitY.
  • The challenge invites participation from talented and innovative startups and emerging technology specialists to augment and scale the CoWIN platform.

  • Each shortlisted applicant at this stage stands a chance to win Rs. 2 Lakhs covering their logistical requirements.

  • The top 2 contestants from the challenge will be rewarded with Rs. 40 Lakh and 20 Lakh respectively post successful migrations of the developed solutions on the cloud on which the CoWIN is hosted, apart from their integration with CoWIN

Seven focus areas

    2. Monitoring and management
    3. Dynamic learning and information systems
