The ‘Ideas4LiFE’ initiative was launched through a dedicated portal https://ideas4life.in, in association with ‘UNICEF YuWaah’, to seek innovative ideas from students, research scholars/faculties and institutions that will work towards fulfilment of the vision of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, for mindful and deliberate utilization of resources, emphasising sustainable living.

Ideas were sought on one of the seven themes of Mission LiFE (Save Energy, Save Water, Say No Single Use Plastic, Sustainable Food Systems adopted, Reduce Waste, Reduce e-waste, Adopt Healthy Lifestyles) on the dedicated portal before 15th October, 2024. This initiative, envisioned as a platform to encourage innovative, scalable, and impactful ideas has brought forward inspiring solutions in each of the seven themes of the Mission LiFE with potential for sustainable solutions to multifarious environmental problems.

In Phase-2, evaluators empaneled with D/o Higher Education assessed the ideas on 5 parameters namely, Innovation potential, Feasibility, Impact, Scalability and Sustainability. In Phase-3, a national jury duly constituted by the Ministry selected the top 3 ideas in each of the seven themes.
