The main aim of the challenge is to create an app that will enable individuals to learn simple sentences of any Indian language and acquire a working knowledge of a language. The objective of this challenge is to create an app that will promote regional language literacy, thereby creating greater cultural understanding within the country.
 
The key parameters that will be looked into will include ease of use, simplicity, Graphical User Interface, gamification features, UI, UX, and superior content, which makes it easy and fun to learn an Indian language.
 
 
The innovation challenge is open to Indian individuals, startups and companies. MyGov envisions the app to be multi-modular, with the capacity to teach through the written word, voice, and video. App developers can propose multiple interfaces for the engagement of learners.
