Some Problem Statements (Taken from Hack with CW)
App/Web Open Innovation You can showcase your own problem statement and provide solution for it.
L.M.S Website and application
A fully functional e-learning/l.m.s website and application(like udemy,coursera)
that allows students to learn from videos, attend quiz and can purchase premium
membership for materials,certification and personal mentorship. Website should
provide function to admin for course upload, updation in prices,e.t.c.
Prediction of Fruits and
Vegetables Rate
Every year, we see a trend in increase agricultural products price particularly
vegetables due to failure of monsoon or late arrival of monsoon and decline in
sown area of that year. 3) Lack of Unified Prediction and forecasting system
integrating data such as Metrological data of forecast, yield/production data across
states, Inventory and Public distribution, whole sale and Retail agricultural
commodity process etc. Technology to address this Issue Predictive Analytics based
on AI and ML through deep learning from the huge volume of data available from
various departments as detailed in point 3 above. Desired Outcome Unified
Prediction Analysis to various Agricultural departments such as Food and Public
distribution under the Ministry of Agriculture, Prime Minister’s PMO etc. so that
timely action can be taken. In addition, this data can be integrated as Input to our
Budget planning to better monetary allocation to Agriculture at federal and state
level and take timely action of distribution planning and price control.

Some Problem Statements (Taken from Hack with CW)
Livestock Health Database
The animal health data base shall contribute to increased public awareness
regarding the occurrence of diseases, so that further recurrence could be curtailed.
The case sheet data base should be accessible to all the professionals and serve as
a knowledge base for them. The Medicines Requirements to treat different ailing
animals and their availability in the nearby market when digitized , serve as guide
to the manufacturers about the types of diseases prevalent and the kind of
medicines in use, so that manufacturers might be able to tune up their production
levels to meet the market demands. Problem Data set can be: Current veterinary
drug indexes will help
Employee Management System
To develop a web application which can store and monitor information of
employees in that it will include leave management, client management, task
system that which tasks are allocated to which employee and also the attendance
system using thumb impression. task management system to track task assigned to
an employ like task assignment, deadline for task, resource allocation to employ for
task etc.

A Simple Problem Statement
• A machine is employed in removing seed from mango without human
intervention. The machine first sends out the seed and then the deseeded fruit.
This happens continuously. That is, every first material coming out of machine is a
seed and every second material coming out of machine is a deseeded fruit. The
machine also records the count of material coming out of the machine as
continuous integer in a machine log file. Design a software that can use two bins
alternatively for collecting seed and fruit separately.

Now let us construct the solution
A machine is employed in removing seed
from mango without human intervention.
The machine first sends out the seed and
then the deseeded fruit. This happens
continuously. That is, every first material
coming out of machine is a seed and
every second material coming out of
machine is a deseeded fruit. The machine
also records the count of material coming
out of the machine as continuous integer
in a machine log file. Design a software
that can use two bins alternatively for
collecting seed and fruit separately.

Another Problem Statement to Try
Roy wants to change his profile picture on Facebook. Now Facebook has some restriction over the dimension
of picture that we can upload. Minimum dimension of the picture can be L x L, where L is the length of the
side of square. Now Roy has N photos of various dimensions. Dimension of a photo is denoted as W x H
where W - width of the photo and H - Height of the photo
When any photo is uploaded following events may occur:
[1] If any of the width or height is less than L, user is prompted to upload another one. Print "UPLOAD
ANOTHER" in this case.
[2] If width and height, both are large enough and
(a) if the photo is already square then it is accepted. Print "ACCEPTED" in this case.
(b) else user is prompted to crop it. Print "CROP IT" in this case.

Another Problem as a home work
If you are given with a seat number, find the facing seat number
