Rajkot Smart City Hackathon was launched on 25 June 2015 in lieu of promoting sustainable cities aiding to give decent lifestyle to its residents. This initiative is taken for the young minds and aspirants who would present realistic technological solutions to such problems faced by the city of Rajkot. This district is as precious as an emerald for Gujarat. Rajkot provides a platform for diverse industries. It is the business hub of the state as the surrounding districts namely, Jamnagar, Dwarka, Porbandar, Surendranagar, Botad, Bhavnagar, Amreli, Gir Somnath, Junagadh, Morbi, Kutch and Gir Somnath, all diverge their trade into this city. In addition to this, Rajkot gives a place to many other industries such as automobile industry, jewellery and silk industry, gold markets and much more.
