IDEA ONE: National One-Health Hackathon

IDEA-ONE: Innovating for One Health is a national hackathon initiative designed to empower youth as advocates and change makers in health innovation. This multi-phase event invites students, researchers, and early-career professionals from diverse disciplines such as medicine, veterinary science, engineering, ecology, and policy to collaboratively develop solutions addressing pressing challenges like zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and climate-sensitive health risks. Participants will work in multidisciplinary teams to explore the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, aligned with India's National One Health Mission to contribute towards building a healthy and resilient future.
