The Blockchain India Challenge is a national innovation challenge launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in collaboration with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to accelerate the development of citizen-centric solutions using Blockchain and Web3 technologies.

The program provides structured mentorship from C-DAC and domain experts, financial incentives across development stages, and the opportunity for winning solutions to be deployed with government departments. Selected solutions may also be hosted on the National Blockchain Technology Stack and scaled for broader adoption across India’s digital governance ecosystem.
