Code for Bharat isn’t just another hackathon — it’s a movement to build digital public infrastructure (DPI) for India.
Participating in Season 2 was a game-changer for me.

- Accessible, scalable systems for Indian citizens
🛠️ My Project
I contributed to a web-based tool that:
- Simplified access to government schemes

Tech stack included:
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript

- Astro for front-end structure
👨💻 Teamwork & Learning

- Deep respect for community-driven tech
💡 Final Reflection
This wasn’t just about code. It was about solving problems that actually matter.
“Code is power. But code for the people? That’s purpose.”
If you’re a student or dev who wants impact + innovation, keep an eye on the next season. You won’t regret it.
