Overview of the Ideas4LiFE Initiative
The ‘Ideas4LiFE’ initiative was launched through a dedicated online portal in collaboration with UNICEF YuWaah. Its primary goal is to gather innovative ideas from students, researchers, and educational institutions that align with Prime Minister Modi’s vision for mindful resource utilization and sustainable living.

The submission deadline was set for October 15, 2024.
Selection Process for Winning Ideas
The evaluation of the submitted ideas followed a rigorous three-phase selection process. In the first phase, a preliminary screening ensured that all entries were complete and original. The second phase involved a detailed assessment by evaluators from the Department of Higher Education, who evaluated each idea based on five key parameters: innovation potential, feasibility, impact, scalability, and sustainability. Finally, a national jury, appointed by the Ministry, selected the top three ideas from each theme, ensuring a comprehensive and fair evaluation of all submissions.
