Sustainability in the context of the G20 summit refers to the efforts of the group of 20 major economies (which includes 19 countries and the European Union) to promote economic growth while also ensuring environmental sustainability and social inclusion.
G20 member countries recognize that economic growth and sustainability are interdependent and have committed to taking coordinated action to achieve sustainable development. 
The G20 has also established various initiatives and frameworks to promote sustainability, such as the Sustainable Finance Study Group, the Global Infrastructure Connectivity Alliance, and the G20 Energy Efficiency Action Plan. These efforts aim to ensure that economic growth is achieved in a way that is environmentally and socially responsible, and that benefits all people, including future generations.

The problem statement for the hackathon is to identify innovative solutions that can address the following challenges:

Education is the foundation of a country's growth and development. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the education system, with schools and universities forced to shift to online modes of learning. This sudden shift has exposed several challenges that need to be addressed urgently to ensure that every student has access to quality education. 

The problem statement for the hackathon is to identify innovative solutions that can address the following challenges:
Access to education: How can we ensure that every student, irrespective of their location, socio-economic background, and physical ability, has access to quality education?
Digital literacy: How can we promote digital literacy among students, teachers, and parents to ensure that they can effectively use digital devices and technologies for education?
Personalized learning: How can we use technology to personalize learning and cater to the unique needs and learning styles of individual students?
Teacher training and development: How can we provide teachers with the necessary training and development opportunities to effectively use technology for teaching and improve their teaching skills?
Addressing mental health concerns: With the prolonged disruption in the education system, students are facing increased stress and anxiety. How can we support students' mental health and well-being during these challenging times?

The solutions developed during the hackathon should be feasible, scalable, and sustainable, with the potential to impact a large number of students and teachers. The solutions should also take into account the diverse cultural, linguistic, and socio-economic contexts in which they will be implemented.

The Indian healthcare landscape has become one of the largest sectors of the Indian economy, in terms of both revenue and employment.

As India looks to usher in the new age of development and work towards becoming an economic superpower, it needs to resolve the shortcomings of its healthcare sector and work towards providing accessible, affordable and quality healthcare for all its citizens.

As the chair of the G20 Presidency, India aims to consolidate health priorities, while achieving convergence in discussions for multilateral health cooperation.

VIHAAN 6.0’s Healthcare20 track offers a chance to all the participants to address the various challenges and critical areas identified for strengthening and integrated action in the Health Working Group (HWG) meetings held under G20 Summit.  

The problem statement may be based on, but not limited to, the following challenges: 
1. The various obstacles faced by the healthcare sector including a shortage of efficient and trained manpower, unmanageable patient load, inadequate fund allocation and deficient infrastructure.
2. The potential of AI to revolutionize healthcare by improving the accuracy and speed of diagnosis through real-time monitoring, contact tracing and predictive modelling, drug development and medical research.
3. Strengthening Cooperation in the Pharmaceutical Sector and provision of affordable Medical Countermeasures including vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics.
4. Challenges preventing the scale-up of Virtual Healthcare (VHC) include technical limitations, eliminating cultural and mindset barriers, interoperability and data security.

Fintech, or financial technology, is playing an increasingly significant role in the global economy and is of great relevance to the G20 summit. The G20 is a forum for the world's largest economies to come together and address global economic challenges, and fintech is a key area where these challenges are being addressed.

All participants have the opportunity to address the numerous issues and crucial areas highlighted for strengthening and coordinated action in the fintech sessions held in conjunction with the G20 Summit through VIHAAN 6.0's Fintech20 track.
Financial Inclusion: Develop fintech solutions that can help bring more people into the formal financial system, particularly in emerging markets. This could include creating digital wallets, developing alternative credit scoring models, or building platforms that enable peer-to-peer lending.
Regulatory Compliance: Explore ways to use fintech to improve regulatory compliance and reduce the risk of financial crimes such as money laundering and terrorist financing. This could include developing new know-your-customer (KYC) technologies, building better anti-money laundering (AML) systems, or using blockchain to increase transparency in financial transactions.
Digital Payments: Develop innovative solutions for digital payments, such as mobile payments, e-commerce platforms, and other digital financial services. This could include using blockchain to improve the speed and security of payments, or building new platforms that enable seamless cross-border transactions.
Financial Stability: Use fintech to improve financial stability and reduce systemic risks. This could include developing new risk management tools, creating better stress testing models, or using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to analyze financial data and identify potential threats to the financial system.
Green Finance: Develop fintech solutions that can help accelerate the transition to a green economy. This could include building platforms that enable sustainable investing, creating new carbon offsetting systems, or developing technologies that can help reduce the environmental impact of financial institutions.


Overall, fintech is a significant and growing area of focus for the G20 summit, as it has the potential to transform the financial landscape and drive global economic growth. By working together to promote innovation, foster financial inclusion, and manage potential risks, ideas promoted in this hackathon can help fintech contribute to a more stable, prosperous, and equitable global economy.
