Amrita Vishwa Vidhyapeetham has taken the lead by initiating a one-of-its-kind competitive programming contest called AlgoQueen to encourage coding for girls across the country.
According to the official statement, the AlgoQueen coding contest aims to boost the culture of competitive programming and coding in girl students. As a part of this innovative and progressive initiative, Amrita will be hosting a series of contests that are sponsored by Amazon Web Services, IBM Q, and JetBrains.
