Featured SIH 2026 Challenges
AI-Based early warning and landslide Risk Monitoring System in NER
🏢 Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER)
The North Eastern Region of India frequently suffers from landslides that cut off villages and cause damage. This problem asks for an AI system that uses various data sources like weather and satellite images to predict where and when landslides might happen. The system should then warn people and authorities in real-time to help save lives and property.
Al-Based Smart Logistics and Accessibility Intelligence Platform for North Eastern Region (NER)
🏢 Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER)
The North Eastern Region (NER) struggles with getting essential goods around due to tough roads and bad weather. We need to build a smart system that uses AI and maps to track transport, predict problems like landslides, and suggest better routes in real-time to ensure supplies reach everyone efficiently. This platform will help government officials and field workers manage logistics and respond to emergencies better.
AI-Based Cognitive Gaming and Memory Assistance Platform for Elderly Dementia Patients in North Eastern Region (NER)
🏢 Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER)
An easy-to-use mobile and tablet app designed for elderly dementia patients in Northeast India that uses fun, culturally familiar voice-controlled games to keep their minds active. It helps them remember daily tasks like taking medicines while letting their families and doctors track their mental health progress, even without an internet connection.
Al-Assisted Early Detection System for Osteoarthritis (OA) Risk Markers in North Eastern Region (NER)
🏢 Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER)
Many people in North Eastern India suffer from joint pain (Osteoarthritis) but struggle to get early diagnosis due to limited healthcare access. This problem asks for a smart, portable system that uses AI to help local health workers detect early signs of joint problems, even in remote areas, and provide preventive advice.
Solar-Powered Smart Mini Cold Storage System for Fresh Vegetables in North Eastern Region (NER)
🏢 Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER)
Farmers in India's North East lose a lot of fresh vegetables because they lack proper cold storage. We need to build a small, solar-powered smart cold storage unit that keeps vegetables fresh longer, even in remote areas with no electricity, helping farmers earn more and reduce waste.
Development of an Intelligent Freight Forecasting Model for Optimized Vessel Chartering and Bulk Cargo Procurement from overseas to East Coast of India
🏢 Ministry of Steel
SAIL currently guesses when to rent ships for importing bulk cargo, leading to higher costs and delays. This problem asks us to build a smart system that predicts future shipping prices and recommends the best time and type of ship to rent, considering port limitations, to save money and improve efficiency.
