The Ideathon once again highlighted why Haryana’s best engineering college is PIET, as it continues to provide platforms where young minds can explore futuristic technologies. Supported by leading startups, entrepreneurs, and educationists, the event encouraged students to think beyond textbooks and design solutions for real-world challenges.


 


Dr. Shakti Kumar, Director of PIET, praised the students’ ingenuity and emphasized the importance of nurturing innovation early.


 


<blockquote>“Innovation opens the pathway to economic progress. If the US and China lead today, it is because of relentless innovation. The future belongs to India, and our young talent is already surprising the world,” he said.&nbsp;</blockquote>

Talent Mapping and Smart Farming

The winning team from DAV Multipurpose School, Sonipat, comprising Himank and Shubham, developed a dual-purpose AI innovation.&nbsp;


 


Their primary project analyzes a child’s learning pattern and aptitude to recommend personalized career pathways, helping parents and educators guide students toward the right future.

Their second innovation showcased how AI can aid agriculture: an image-based model to detect and treat diseases in aonla (Indian gooseberry) plants, underscoring the versatility of technology in both human development and environmental care.&nbsp;


 


AI for Classrooms and National Security&nbsp;


 



Several other teams presented impressive prototypes. PIET students created a classroom monitoring system using AI-based cameras to analyze student attentiveness and help teachers adapt their instruction in real time.&nbsp;


 


A standout entry from Ambala introduced a multi-layered AI security grid designed to automatically alert police and defense units during potential terror incidents- a concept aimed at preventing terror attacks and ensuring rapid emergency response.


 


Encouraging Future Innovators&nbsp;


 


Dr. Shakti Arora, Head of PIET’s Cybersecurity &amp; Startup Cell, shared that this was the fourth consecutive Ideathon hosted by the institute.&nbsp;
