The problem statements look extremely vague. I wonder how they will judge the submissions.

I think the quality of the end product will decide the prizes. Not all problem statements are vague. Department of atomic energy, defense, railways, airports and steel have technologically advanced product requirements.

For vague product requirements the participant needs to apply "product person" skills in figuring out the missing portions of a useful product. I also think communicating directly with the ministry is possible to get a more refined problem statement.

They have a straight jacket approach and will interact with Prof's from colleges who want to host them !

I think this event is open only to students. This would be a good starting point for them for future entrepreneurial activities.
Practically speaking student built products will never be put into use within the organisation.

Yes this is the intent
Practically speaking student built products will never be put into use within the organisation.
this is also there intent to use it in the Organization , what i am referring to is the approach for example i got a query by some students from greater noida who are from different colleges now can they come together and form a team the organizers said just follow the rules :-) , i have issue with not being inclusive the whole exercise where you want to get things done by Free labour and do not know how to engage.
bottom line they have no clue with what they are dealing with one word confused !
cheers,
-Satya
ps: lets take the rants off line will buzz you tomorrow :P

Almost all the ideas from ISRO are heavily computer science centric https://innovate.mygov.in/challenge-category/indian-space-research-organisation-isro/

I believe that the LUG currently organises a fortnightly hackathon during the weekends. This could be taken up as a part of that, or an extension thereof.

Indeed, and focus should be on building small but usable projects hosted on github with a good README file on how to use.

By the way this fortnightly hackathon does not produce any footprint on this list. We just do not get to know what is going on in these hackathons. I request you to appoint a dedicated "LUG Journalist" who will be tasked with writing a report on each hackathon on his/her blog with some pictures.
When I was in LUG we had Kaushik Kumar Nundy fulfilling this role very well.
