The Kerala State Biodiversity Board (KSBB) is organising a novel ‘ideation challenge’ which invites college students, start-ups and the public in general to come up with innovative solutions to problems and challenges in conserving the State’s biodiversity and promoting sustainable use.
The ‘Biodiversity Ideation Challenge - 2023’ is based on the concept ‘Everything begins with an idea’ and draws its inspiration from the boom in the start-up culture in the State, KSBB chairman C. George Thomas told The Hindu.
Through this event, the KSBB is seeking innovative solutions to key challenges in agrobiodiversity, aquatic biodiversity, and forest biodiversity. KSBB has extended the last date for registration of teams (maximum members four) till November 15. The problem statement and proposed solutions should be submitted by December 31. The entries will be evaluated in February 2024. (For details visit keralabiodiversity.org).
