Innovative Bharat 3.0

Innovative Bharat 3.0 was a national student innovation and entrepreneurship initiative held on 17 November 2024, organised by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Mathura, and sponsored by HS Foundation. Anchored to the theme “Vision India @ 2047”, the programme invited undergraduate and postgraduate students from across the country to present original ideas and products that contribute to a self-reliant, innovation-led India.

Participants competed across four thematic categories — Environmental / Social Life, Engineering / Technology, Economics / Law, and Health / Medical — through a structured two-round format. Round I was conducted at the institute level for screening and mentorship, and the final round was held at KD Dental College, where shortlisted teams presented before a panel of industry professionals, innovators, investors, and academics.

As sponsor, HS Foundation extended financial and institutional support to the initiative, reinforcing its mission of advancing health and empowering science by nurturing grassroots innovation. Category winners were felicitated with certificates, mementoes, and cash awards — including a ₹21,000 second prize in the Engineering / Technology category, presented via an IDFC First Bank instrument.
