Guidelines for the MIS project presentation/submission

1. Identify ONE among the following emerging themes and identify a specific
project under these themes
a. Intelligent public transport systems - Smart mobility in India
b. Smart villages - Increasing technology reach to narrow the connect
between rural and urban in India
c. India currently Holds 43rd rank in IMD World Competitiveness
Rankings-2019 - Improving Digital Literacy in India.
d. Digitalizing healthcare - Smart health management
e. Using technology for safe commute in India (accident prevention and
post-accident attention)
f. Digital Technology upliftment in MSME (Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises)
g. Role of technology in improving energy sources / energy creation
(sustainability)
h. Critical role of technology in redefining customer service
2. The entire project exercise is to develop your skills for relevant data collection,
data assimilation, data extraction, data interpretation and meaningful data
presentation to different stakeholders
a. Teams are welcome to choose any LIVE issue from any relevant
organization as well corresponding to these themes.
b. Teams need to search for relevant data from different sources (You have
Gartner access as one primary source) specific to their project identified
c. Analyze multiple views of relevant data and present their OWN insights
(Predictive Analysis) followed by their suggestions based on the data and
insights (Prescriptive Analysis) stakeholder-wise. So during data
collection and assimilation, you need to identify various stakeholders as
well.
3. NO TWO team are allowed to take same project across ALL the FOUR
sections
a. Your project should be unique across all groups of all 4 sections
b. 16-17 project topics (choose any theme among the 8 themes above) for
each section. So I total around 64-68 project titles.
