The portal should let Jharkhand communities submit local problems with location and multimedia evidence, then use AI to classify, deduplicate and route validated challenges to universities with relevant expertise. University teams, faculty and industry partners should collaborate on proposals, mentoring, funding, prototypes and deployment. Milestones, testing, approvals, intellectual-property records and district-level outcomes should be tracked through the project lifecycle, with communication among citizens and institutions.
