The Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D), in coordination with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), launched an online hackathon “Manthan 2021”.
It aims for the identification of innovative concepts and technology solutions to address the challenges faced by intelligence agencies.
The BPR&D was established under the Ministry of Home Affairs in the 1970s.
It was launched with the primary objective of modernisation of the Police Force.
AICTE is a national-level apex advisory body to conduct a survey on the facilities available for technical education and to promote development in the country in a coordinated and integrated manner.
