Following the success of the 'Hack for Social Cause' under VBYLD 2026, for which @iitbombay was the knowledge partner and I was the national coordinator, we are happy that for VBYLD 2027, the Hack for Social Cause track submissions are open and we continue the effort along with all State and UT nodal institutions. It is a great opportunity for young innovators to build software-based, technology-driven solutions for real-world societal problems. Winners will get an opportunity to present their work at @BharatMandapam and some of them will interact with Hon' PM. Great mentorship opportunities from eminent panel of professors, practitioners, and innovators as well! Hack for Social Cause under VBYLD 2027 empowers youth aged 18–29 to build scalable, technology-driven solutions for social good. 🚀 Turn ideas into impact, gain real-world experience & contribute to a better society.

Beyond worries about apples and oranges in fruitful GDP growth debates,the dismal science has a witty and imaginative side to its knotty issues that is often not debated. Not arranged in condescending order, some interesting reads #economics #paradigms #humor

Before a class where i would be covering equilibrium in monopolistic competition, bumped into this random reel of silver foil making where skilled artisans were using pages from an old and torn microeconomics textbook with the same concept and diagram featuring in the pages used in the foil making. Indeed every cloud has a silver lining and quite a valuable application of opportunity cost of the econ concepts #economics #opportunitycost #monopolisticcompetition #silverfoil

After a class where we discussed classification problems, some students said this green vine snake is venomous and some said it's non venomous. Glad no one said it's not poisonous #greenvinesnake #snake

While riding from Itanagar to Guwahati earlier today, saw some good samaritans rescuing an autorickshaw stuck in the mudslide. The JCB operator also did a fantastic job making way for stranded vehicles along the Itanagar-Hollongi stretch in Papum Pare district, Arunachal Pradesh. Kudos to everyone involved in the effort #goodsamaritans #mudslide #ArunachalPradesh

Walking down the memory lane along my +2 and +3 college, @bjb_college Bhubaneswar and our residence in BJB Nagar area, uncovered manholes on pavements around the junior college boundary walls seem to pose serious hazard for pedestrians in general and senior citizens and kids in particular. Requesting @bmcbbsr and concerned authorities of Ward 56 to kindly look into the matter urgently. Had made a similar request to BMC, Mumbai on this platform about uncovered manholes in front our institute, and they resolved it in a day. Hope prompt action will be taken before onset of the monsoon #Bhubaneswar #civichazard
