Introduction
About SIH-2019

Innovation and entrepreneurship are at the peak in India. In order to make development a
comprehensive mass movement and innovate on all fronts, MHRD, AICTE, i4c and Persistent
Systems have come together to organise Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2019 - a unique Open
Innovation Model for identifying new and disruptive technology innovations to solve the
challenges faced in our country. It's a non-stop product development competition, where
problem statements are posed to technology students for innovative solutions. It can help to:

 Harness creativity & expertise of students

 Spark institute-level hackathons
 Build funnel for 'Startup India' campaign
 Crowdsource solutions for improving governance and quality of life
 Provide opportunity to citizens to provide innovative solutions to India's daunting
problems

The first two editions SIH2017 and SIH2018 proved to be extremely successful in promoting
innovation, out-of-the-box thinking in young minds, especially engineering students from
across India.

provides a methodology by which the process of manual browsing of information can be
automated by using Web Scraping techniques.
