Welcome to Hack-o-Jims
The G20 is a forum for Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors to discuss global
economic and financial issues, representing 85% of the global GDP, over 75% of global
trade, and two-thirds of the world's population. India holds the G20 Presidency from
December 2022 to November 2023, with a theme of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" or "One Earth ·
One Family · One Future". The theme highlights environmentally sustainable and
responsible choices, both at the individual and national levels, leading to globally
transformative actions resulting in a cleaner, greener, and bluer future.
Jagannath International Management School is organizing a hackathon called "Hack-o-Jims"
under the G20 banner, where students can showcase their technical solutions to problems
related to the G20 summit theme. The event aims to provide a platform for individuals
who are passionate about creating a significant impact by addressing the prevalent
issues affecting the G20 countries.
