The ministry highlighted the contribution of the National Handloom Development Corporation Limited at Noida, whose offices held cleanliness drives, competitions and a tree plantation under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam between 2 and 23 October 2026.

The ministry completed the review of every physical file it had identified for the purpose, and that total was 5,593, one of the parameters it reported as fully finished in the progress up to 25 October 2026.

The Buildathon was organised by the Department of School Education and Literacy in collaboration with the Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog and AICTE, whose chairman Prof. T. G. Sitharam is among those attending the felicitation ceremony.

This is the count of project submissions the Buildathon received from schools across India, taking the Idea Track and the Prototype Track together, and it is the figure on which the Guinness World Records certification as the Largest Innovation Solution Competition rests.

The two disputes were resolved amicably through that officer conciliation efforts rather than through adjudication. The Banking Ombudsman handles customer complaints against banks and has no role in a dispute between a bank and its employees, so that option is wrong.
