Chetan Kaushik, Mahesh Jindal,
Rohit Gupta, Hritik Wadhwa, Yashasvi, Madhur Gupta – Team “Gully Gang” students of Department of Computer
Science and Engineering, Chitkara University, Punjab, won the First
Prize of Rs. 50,000 in Smart India Hackathon-2019, recently concluded at
Coimbatore. Their project titled “Trustee” was based on proposing a solution for storing school/university/board
certificates in a decentralized way using Block chain Technology, and to give
access to any organisation or any institution with the consent of an individual
using multi-sign. The main motive of this project was to reduce the hassle of
verifying the authenticity of any document or certificate by simplifying the
process and reduce the time required to a matter of seconds. Congratulations to the winning team.
