The registration for the Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 closes today, October 11, 2025. Students who wish to participate can submit their team applications and project ideas on the official website vbb.mic.gov.in.
The Buildathon is being described as one of the largest live innovation activities in the world, aiming to engage over one crore students from nearly 2.5 lakh schools across India. The initiative is part of the government’s larger Viksit Bharat @2047 vision, which focuses on encouraging innovation, creativity, and problem-solving among young minds.
About Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025
The Viksit Bharat Buildathon is not just a competition but a national movement to nurture innovation among students in grades 6 to 12. It has been launched by the Ministry of Education in partnership with the Atal Innovation Mission and NITI Aayog. The initiative supports the goals of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasises experiential and hands-on learning.
The main objective is to inspire students to create real world solutions that contribute to national growth and promote Atmanirbharta (self-reliance). Through this programme, India aims to strengthen its position as a global hub of innovation and emerging talent.
Students will participate in teams of five to seven members to conceptualise, design, and develop projects that address key national themes. The Buildathon also ensures inclusive participation by encouraging entries from Aspirational Districts, as well as Tribal and Remote Regions, reflecting its commitment to equal opportunity across the country.
