The e-Yantra project believes that a competition framework harnesses the intellectual ability of young Indians to create practical solutions to real problems. The domains range across -- manufacturing, defence, smart homes, city maintenance and service industries. It does this by engaging young students in Project Based Learning where they learn to solve problems using a robot. Rapid economic growth implies a huge need for automation and related skills especially in a world dominated by the ‘Internet of Things' and other such technology.

The goal of the IT-based e-Yantra project is to, in a scalable manner, help create a cadre of engineers that can address the problems that a rapidly growing economy such as India so sorely needs.
