Amity University Uttar Pradesh (AUUP), Noida campus, hosted Sustainovation-2025, a 30-hour national hackathon from 3–5 September aimed at fostering youth-driven innovation in sustainability.

Thirty teams, comprising 77 male and 27 female students from leading institutions including IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, Guru Nanak Dev University, Uttarakhand Technical University, Government Women Engineering College, and RCC Institute of Information Technology, participated in the event. Contestants developed scalable solutions across three tracks – clean water, clean energy, and healthy soil – to address pressing environmental challenges.

Highlighting the initiative, Dr Neeraj Sanan, CEO of Intelligent Insights, said the hackathon offered students an invaluable opportunity to hone skills, collaborate and think innovatively about sustainability.

Amity vice chancellor Dr Balvinder Shukla noted that the event promoted hands-on problem solving and would nurture early-stage ideas with potential for real-world application, strengthening collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers.

Dr B.K. Murthy, dean of Translational Research at Amity, added that Sustainovation-2025 had successfully brought together young innovators from across India to devise impactful solutions to environmental issues
