Building on the tremendous impact of our 2024 workshop, OdiaGenAI, in collaboration with AHRC, IIT Bhubaneswar, School of Computer Application, KIIT-DU, and Odia Virtual Academy(OVA) is excited to unveil an expanded three-day event focused on Empowering India Through Inclusive Generative AI.

Over these three days, you’ll gain practical, hands-on training and in-depth insights into Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) from an India-centric viewpoint.

Guided by renowned experts, you’ll master how to adapt and deploy these state-of-the-art techniques for India’s mosaic of languages—giving special attention to Odia and other underserved tongues so that every voice can be heard.

Students, professionals, and anyone interested in learning Generative AI and LLM-based tools and technologies.

• Apps Teams must consist of 2 to 5 members. We encourage participation from diverse backgrounds—students, researchers, linguists, technologies
• Projects should aim to empower Odia and other Indian languages through generative AI. Organizers will provide a set of problem statements aligned with the workshop theme, but teams are also welcome to propose and work on their ideas. Suggested areas include Odia/Indic LLMs, Multimodal LLMs, translation App, accessibility tools (speech, OCR), and GenAI applications for education, governance, healthcare, tourism, agriculture, etc.
• All work must be completed within the hackathon window. You may use open-source datasets, pre-trained models (e.g., from Hugging Face, OdiaGenAI)
• During hackathon submission, each team must submit:
• Project title and summary (max 250 words)
• GitHub repo with code and instructions
• 2-page brief (problem, solution, architecture, impact)
• Demo video (up to 10 minutes) or live pitch

• The quiz consists of 50 multiple-choice questions to be completed within 30 minutes. Each question has only one correct answer, and the topics cover all aspects of Generative AI. Each correct answer is worth 10 points, with no penalty for incorrect answers.
• At the designated time, we will provide a brief overview of the rules. Following this, an email will be sent with a link to the Google Form. The form will stop accepting responses exactly 30 minutes after the start time.
