The
government on Wednesday launched a technology contest to invite solutions from
IT companies and start-ups to
strengthen digital platform CoWIN, which will be used for rolling out
and scaling up COVID vaccine distribution across the country.
Ø
The
government is enhancing use of the Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network
(eVIN) system, which provides real-time information on vaccine stocks and
storage temperatures across all cold chain points in the country to address the
needs for distribution and
tracking of COVID-19 vaccine.
Ø
The
contest will be jointly run by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and
the Ministry of Electronics and IT, a statement said.

The
Health Ministry is looking for technical solutions that can address issues of portability, transportation, queue management, reporting and monitoring mechanism for any adverse event following

will be used for mass inoculation against the pandemic.

"India's
innovators have played a crucial role in our fight against COVID-19. I invite
innovators and start-ups for a grand challenge to strengthen CoWIN platform for roll out of COVID-19 vaccination
program across India," IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said in the
statement.
Ø
The top 5 applicants will be provided
CoWIN APIs (Application
Programming Interface) to prove the efficacy of their solutions for possible
integration with the platform.
Ø
Each
shortlisted applicant at this stage stands a chance to win Rs 2 lakh covering
their logistical requirements.
Ø
The
top 2 contestants from the challenge will be rewarded with Rs 40 lakh and Rs 20
lakh, respectively, post successful migrations of the developed solutions on
the cloud on which CoWIN is hosted, apart from their integration with CoWIN,
according to the statement.
