The prize money for apps is between Rs 20 lakh and Rs 2 lakh depending on the category. The app will be evaluated on the basis of: ease of use, robustness, security features and scalability.
“The outcome of this challenge will be to give better visibility and clarity to existing Apps to achieve their goals, and to create tech products to find solutions to tech conundrums with the help of mentorship, tech support and guidance during the entire life-cycle,” said PM Modi.
As far as the app categories are concerned, these are eight categories of app which can participate in this challenge: Office Productivity & Work from Home, Social Networking, E-Learning, Entertainment, Health & Wellness, Business including Agritech and Fintech, News and Games.
All details of the challenge will be available on “innovate.mygov.in”. The last date of submission is July 18, 2020. The applicant needs to apply only online to submit their proposals by registering and logging on MyGov portal.
