Empowering Student Innovation for Climate Resilience: T-AIM & Capgemini Academic Grand Challenge
Under the aegis of T-AIM (powered by NASSCOM) in partnership with Capgemini, the Academic Grand Challenge on Climate Change invited student teams from colleges across India to build AI/ML solutions to predict heat waves and forecast Air Quality Index (AQI) for five Telangana cities. The challenge aimed to harness youthful ingenuity and data science to address climate-induced risks—heat waves and deteriorating air quality—impacting urban and semi-urban communities. Participating teams were required to develop predictive models using publicly available weather, pollution, and historical data.
Encouraged students to apply AI/ML techniques to real-world climate problems, promoting socially relevant innovation. Enabled capacity building among young tech talent in domains of environmental forecasting and climate risk analysis. Reinforced collaboration between government-backed mission (T-AIM), industry (Capgemini), and academia — fostering an ecosystem for sustainable and responsible AI innovation.
