The Kakatiya Institute of Technology and Science (KITS), Warangal, organised ‘Resolve 2026’, a one-day hackathon, on the campus on Saturday.

Addressing the event, principal K. Ashoka Reddy said the event was aimed at promoting innovation, practical learning, teamwork and technology-driven solutions to real-world challenges.

The competition revolved around eight themes: smart agriculture management, healthcare, fintech, smart cities, disaster management, sustainability and energy, Industry 4.0, and education and assistive technology. Participants worked on problem statements drawn from real-world challenges and proposed solutions using technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, IoT-ML integration, prototyping and simulation.
