In this situation of the pandemic when everyone is doing their bit to fight COVID-19 according to their capabilities, we also want to extend our support and serve our City.
We know this pandemic has impacted the lives of people from all groups and communities. In view of this, we are hosting an online Hackathon called “Mere Sheher” on our portal. (xlr8rs.org/hack)
The motive behind this Hackathon is to invite and segregate the problems faced by different groups of people and ask suggested solutions from the young minds of our city to solve these problems effectively.
XLR8RS - Your Own Tech-Basta is going to organize a Hackathon “Mere Sheher” for students of Giridih. The idea behind this Hackathon is to provide solutions for the problems faced by people of Giridih due to this COVID-19 pandemic. This Hackathon is an initiative of young innovators and students of Giridih like Subodh Kumar, Vineet Kumar Sinha, Soumya Ranjan Guru, Sakshi Kejriwal, Devanshi Singh, Ashish Kumar, Abyan Chatterjee, Biraj Haldar, and Avinav Ankit. These young changemakers wanted to contribute to the efforts of the district administration to fight with this situation. XLR8RS wants people of Giridih to stand together to keep our city safe.
What is Mere Sheher Hackathon?
Mere Sheher is an initiative to put forward the problems being faced by our city during this COVID-19 outbreak and to provide a platform for sharing innovative and effective solutions to those problems.

In this Hackathon we are eyeing for ideas that are creative, using minimum or existing resources and efficient solutions for this point of time.
