Hackathon 3.0 wrapped up with an inspiring finale, bringing together more than a thousand young innovators, developers, and problem-solvers from across India. After multiple rounds of screening, 15 exceptional teams earned their place in the national finals, where they presented solutions tackling real cybersecurity challenges.
This flagship initiative of the Uttarakhand Police, led by IG Dr Nilesh Anand Bharne, aims to empower the next generation with hands-on exposure to cyber awareness and defence.

Mr Mohit Aggarwal, President, DBS Global University, also joined the event, applauding the creativity and discipline shown by the finalists.

The event closed on a note of pride and promise, celebrating young talent and strengthening the collaboration between law enforcement, academia, and the tech community.
