​Ajrasakha Monthly Hackathon – Build for Indian Farmers

​The Ajrasakha Hackathon is a recurring, two-phase monthly challenge where teams build practical agricultural technology that integrates with Ajrasakha, annam.ai’s open-source farming support platform.

​Participants work in teams of four to design and implement cost-effective, scalable, and farmer-centric solutions for real agricultural problems in India — focusing on accessibility, low-bandwidth usage, and regional language support.

​What You’ll Build

​You will either:

• ​Work on problem statements provided by the organizers, or

• ​Improve and extend existing Ajrasakha features with new capabilities

​All projects must integrate with the Ajrasakha system (MERN stack + Python/AI components).

​How It Works

​The hackathon runs in two phases every month:

• ​Phase 1 (2 weeks): Build a complete, working product

• ​Phase 2 (2 weeks): Improve, optimize, and polish based on feedback

​All teams move to Phase 2. Final evaluation considers both phases together.

​What We Value

• ​Real-world usefulness for farmers

• ​Clean, deployable code

• ​Low-cost and efficient designs

• ​Simple and accessible user experience

• ​Regional language and voice support (encouraged)

​Who Can Join

​This is an internal hackathon for annam.ai interns.
Teams must consist of exactly 4 members.

​Why Participate

• ​Build production-grade features for a real platform

• ​Learn system design, AI integration, and cost-aware engineering

• ​Work on problems that directly impact Indian agriculture

• ​Get mentorship and feedback from the Ajrasakha team
