Atal Innovation Mission, AIM at NITI Aayog today opened applications for ATL Marathon 2022-23, a flagship innovation challenge under Atal Tinkering Labs programme.

ATL Marathon is a national level innovation challenge for young innovators across India who can solve community problems of their choice, develop innovative solutions in the form of working prototypes or Minimum Viable Product, MVP.

The last edition of the Marathon witnessed more than 7000 innovations and the top 350 of them got internship opportunities with reputed companies in India, prizes and certificates from the AIM. This year’s ATL Marathon is going to be bigger and grander.

The theme for this edition of ATL Marathon is India’s G20 Presidency. As India assumed the presidency of the G20 this year, AIM has designed the problem statements based on G20’s working group inspiring recommendations on internationally relevant issues in various areas of the focus.

The idea is to create a huge opportunity for students to innovate not just for the better India but for the world by resolving global problems in various sectors. Students can get all details about ATL Marathon in English and Hindi and submit their entries in both languages.

Unveiling the challenge, Mission Director, Dr Chintan Vaishnav said, ATL Marathon is a great journey for students from building a great team to resolving a problem of national importance.

Top teams will get an Internship opportunity through the Student Innovator Programme with leading corporates and Incubation Centres of India, certificates from AIM and many more exciting opportunities.
