Hult Prize at Samriddhi College 23/24 has been successful completed. There were total of 16 teams of students who participated but 8 of them were selected as finalists. Each of the teams had different and amazing idea under the SDG Goals. Everyone was thrilled to see their amazing ideas. In order to judge the ideas, we invited 3 judges from different backgrounds, each of them were absolutely fantastic with their area. We have Mr. Ishwor Thapa (Associate CEO at Code Himalaya), Ms. Sushma Sharma (Owner at Peculiar Jewels) and Er. Aditya Raj (Founder & CEO at Digital Nepal) as our Judges. They judged the team on different criteria as Team, Idea, Impact and Business. And as we went through the event, we got our winner, The Nerd Hub had an idea of solving the problem based on dying the clothes. As the world uses chemically used dying materials, The Nerd Hub (Krinesh, Ishika, Suvekchya,) found the idea to dye the clothes using floral based dyes i.e., chemical free, and first runner up, Pentasquad (Binisha, Lishan, Jwel,) had an idea of creating the candles which was chemical free could lit up the room for more time than normal candles. And as the winner team got selected for summits which was holding on different cities around the world, but the team got selected on Boston, USA. 

Special thanks are also extended to ICT Frame, Nhu Designs, Deego Nepal, and ARS Dental Clinic for enriching the event with their product showcases, enhancing its vibrant atmosphere.
