The Google Impact Challenge has launched in India in an
effort to support innovators who are exploring new ways to solve the
world's most pressing problems. If you’re an Indian non-profit, tell us
how you would use technology and innovative approaches to tackle
problems in India and around the world. Four selected non-profits will
each receive a Rs 3 crore Global Impact Award and assistance from Google to help make their project a reality.
- 5th September 2013 - Final day to apply to the Google Impact Challenge.
- 21st October 2013 - Google announces the finalists, and the public votes online for their favourites.
- 31st October 2013 - Each finalist team will pitch its idea to an esteemed panel of judges at an event in Delhi. Four finalists, including the non-profit chosen by the public vote, will be announced as Global Impact Award recipients.
