Winner Announcement of ATL Marathon 2019

The flagship challenge of Atal Innovation Mission, the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) Marathon 2019 was launched on Children’s Day, 14th November 2019.

This six-month-long competition was unique as it was designed by the students for the students. The most pressing problem faced by the youth within their schools and community was highlighted and participant students came out with interesting and exhaustive innovations to find a solution for it.

Over 9000+ students participated in Phase 1 and 2 and more than 1100+ teams from 29 States and Union Territories submitted their innovative ideas for Phase 3.
