Code for GovTech (C4GT) is India's flagship open-source programme that invites engineering students to contribute to Digital Public Goods — the digital infrastructure that powers Aadhaar, ABDM health stack, DIKSHA education platform and hundreds of other government services. As an AICTE partner, C4GT brings structured mentored open-source internships to the National Internship Portal, giving students the rare opportunity to write code that runs at national scale.
