The अRban Learnathon was an inspiring national challenge launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) in partnership with the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) on March 13, 2023. Designed to unite urban practitioners under one collaborative forum, this challenge ignited a vibrant culture of knowledge-sharing and innovation in India’s urban landscape. Through the National Urban Learning Platform (NULP), participants were empowered to showcase their expertise and contribute to a powerful, expanding repository of urban solutions. Over 60 days, submissions poured in from all areas of the urban sector—cities, states, Smart City SPVs, administrative bodies, academia, Civil Society Organisations, and industries. The Learnathon recognised top ten entries under each theme and participation category. These winning entries are now accessible globally on NULP, reinforcing India’s commitment to sustainable collaborative learning.
