Galgotias University was proud to host the event, which was graced by Dr. Subhas Sarkar, the Honourable Minister of State for Education, Government of India, as the Chief Guest. Over the past few years, hackathons have become one of the largest platforms for solving the country's challenges.
During the event, the Honourable Prime Minister, SHRI NARENDRA MODI, interacted with the participants. The Vice Chancellor of Galgotias University, Dr. Preeti Bajaj, added to the event's charm with her sparkling presence.

The university also inaugurated all 75 Nodal Centers of Smart India Hackathon 2022 Grand Finale.
Prof. Anil Sahasrabuddhe ji said that the Honourable Prime Minister had planted a seed in 2017, and today it has grown into a large banyan tree. Initially, only 25 to 30 hackathon centers were running, but now there are 75. We set a world record by organizing hackathons online even during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Smt. Monika S. Garg said that the hackathon programs would help in fulfilling the vision of the Prime Minister to make India a superpower by 2047.
The Smart India Hackathon 2022 brought the next generation of evolution by including new methodologies to inculcate the culture of startup and innovation ecosystems all over the world.
