Here is your chance to win Rs 1 crore while sitting at home! Government has launched a new video conferencing app development challenge for Indian companies with prize money of Rs 1 crore. The challenge comes days after the government said that Zoom app is not entirely safe for usage and asked officials to avoid it.
“Innovation Challenge for Development of Video Conferencing Solution” has been introduced by the government to facilitate Work from Home (WFH) that has become a new normal for crores of people in the country. With WFH becoming the new normal, a lot of information is being shared online through video conferencing apps, leading to huge concerns over the privacy of the conversations and control over the app and data shared through the app.
The registrations for this challenge have started from April 13 and will go on till April 30. The results of the government challenge will be announced on 29 July. The winning team will be given Rs 1 crore to deploy the app for use by central and state Governments across India and a certificate by Minister of Electronics and Information Technology.
