MittiCool When An Earthquake Hit Gujarat, Mansukh bhai Invented Mitticool, A Clay Fridge That Runs Without Electricity; Apart from a fridge, he has invented non-stick earthen tavas, earthen thermos flasks, etc. GIAN(Grassroots innovation Augmentation Network, India) also helped him to set up a company, Clay Creations, in 2008 and assisted him in developing the online retail portal (www.mitticool.in).
Innovative farming methods Parma Ram Chaudhary, Mandi, Himachal Pradesh ;(Ex-Pradhan, Defense background) Paras Ram does not use inorganic fertilizers and his produce, while mushrooms or other vegetables, sells hand in hand right from his home. He has installed flour mill too in his house. Owning a big chunk of land is not necessary, one can practice farming without land too, opines Parsa Ram. And he is an apt example of this. However he owns some land, but he cultivates cash crops in mushroom bags on the slab of his house and in his room. Parma Ram has also developed some agriculture tools which are proving handy in tough geographical conditions of Himachal. He also uses his own made agricultural tools. His innovative agriculture tools include cycle plough, folding plough, instrument to dig pits, axe, sickle, hoe cum shovel and various other manually operating instruments.
He is earning handsomely by cultivating mushrooms and cocoon in the same room round the year. Inspiration to educated unemployed youth -Tremendous opportunities in agriculture Himotkarsh Organisation had also honoured him with the Himachal Shree Award in October 2010. Best Farmer Award of 2013 by the CSK HP Agriculture University, Palampur. Ex-Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar honoured him with the title of Farm Scientist for his achievements Cash Prize from State Govt.
Desi geyser This desi geyser, as its humble name suggests, is a modest device of galvanized plain sheet that uses cow dung as fuel and can bring water to boil in 5 Min flat. Designed 15 years ago by Paramjit Singh in his small workshop in Jagraon (Ludhiana), it has been replicated by many and is now sold at shops in villages across Punjab.
Bicycle Weeder Gopal Bhise has fixed a rod with a blade at the end, to an assembly consisting of only the front wheel and the handle of a bicycle. He has named the assembly as 'Krishiraja', and claims it to be extremely efficient in removing weeds from hard land. It is very useful device for ploughing/inter culture operation in very small farm plots, gardens and kitchen gardens. One can cover 0.08 hectare in one hour.
Refrigerator that runs without power This 'refrigerator' that runs without power, developed by the Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur, has addressed local problems of preserving fruits, vegetables and dairy products in the dry heat of Rajasthan. It is made of bricks, cement and coarse sand and works on the principle of evaporation. The temperature inside it is 12-15 degrees lower than that outside, while humidity is higher by 85%. The 'fridge' can preserve 30kg-50 kg of vegetables for 4-5 days in summer and 6-7 days in winter.
Bamboo lathe machine Bamboo needs to be stripped off its outer covering for developing smooth surface to make interior decoration items and utility articles like cups, pen stands, etc. Doing the job manually is time consuming and laborious. The machine developed by Imli Toshi, Nagaland ,can do all the operations like removing the outer knots, smoothening the surface, internal/external carving and finishing. The machine has soft touch joystick controlled operating system, which facilitates precision in operation.
Husk power Bihar's power situation was never comfortable, and the problem turned worse after the creation of Jharkhand in 2000. Now, a man named Gyanesh Pandey has decided to take matters into his own hands. Pandey, who says his target group is 'people living in off-grid areas', uses rice husk as fuel for more than 60 mini-power plants. They say they generate and distribute electricity to more than 20,000 homes in 250 villages bordering Bihar's West Champaran district.
VENTiT- world first breathing box- Fresher for longer Mumbai-based packager Vinay Mehta has created VENTiT, a hot-food delivery box ( Effective Ventilation) that has been praised by global pizza experts. Most pizza-delivery boxes trap steam, which results in a soggy crust and breaks down the material itself. But VENTiT circumvents this problem by building the box in an unusual order, in which vents are cut into the outer and inner liners of the cardboard box, leaving the middle layer intact. Mehta's design has now been patented in over 100 countries.
Brain Wave safety sensor Abhaya, a hearing aid lookalike, is a leap for women's safety. The brainchild of Cochin University of Science and Technology students. The neurosensor reads brainwaves and heartbeats to activate the voice transmitter and GPS tracker so that the endangered person can be continuously tracked. It transmits panic and fear through a phone and triggers an emergency call.
Drone Acharya crop duster Inspired by documentaries on crop-dusting on Discovery Channel, Dulal Adhikari channeled his passion for building model planes into creating a remote controlled pesticide-spraying machine that can be fitted to a GPS-guided drone. Spraying pesticide on a bigha using the machine will take 10-12 minutes while it would take over 3 hours manually Pesticide-spraying drone costs Rs 40,000, has an auto pilot mode, and is fitted with a gauge, a compass and other instruments that allow the machine to maintain altitude even in a stiff breeze. Other startups exploring: Crop monitoring services, aerial photography, real-time videos through drones.
Walnut Cracker, Peeler & Washer By Mushtaq Ahmad Dar and Tauseef Ahmad , Jammu & Kashmir Manual cracking of walnuts involves a lot of time and labor. Mushtaq has come up with a walnut cracking machine which can process dry walnuts of various sizes, shapes and thickness to crack them open without damaging the fruit inside. Peeling walnuts is a very labour intensive task involving a lot of labor. The sap of walnut skin burns hands and stains clothes as well. The walnut peeler does away with all these problems. Using the walnut washer of Tawseef, the time required to wash, which otherwise is done manually using hands, has been reduced by over 60 per cent. The machine can process approx 80 kg of walnuts/h. The present version has cracking efficiency about 85 per cent, the peeler has capacity of 70 kg of green walnuts/ h. The washer has capacity of washing 90 kg walnuts/h.
3-Nethra Bengaluru techies K Chandrasekhar and Shyam Vasudev Rao quit their jobs to create 3nethra, a portable, noninvasive eye pre-screening device that can detect five major eye ailments: cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retina, cornea problems, and eye-lens refractive errors- Causes for blindness in India. The device saves precious time for ophthalmologists. It costs one-fifth the price of existing machines, and can be fitted into a suitcase and connected to a PC or laptop via USB.
Exercising chair- Maruti Jhoola By Sakrabhai Prajapati,Gujarat Modern life with its fast pace and sedentary lifestyle has created the need for solutions incorporating relaxation and energy. Maruti Jhoola is a unique health chair with multiple capabilities, functions and settings for various postures and seating dynamics. It is ergonomically designed and serves the purpose of seating as well as exercising for a person weighing up to 120 kg. It can double up as a hammock or a jhoola. The health chair is useful for people suffering from arthritis and joint ailments.
Washing-cum-exercise machine All those who wash clothes by hand have often wished for a washing machine that is cheap. But then, frequent power cuts (particularly in the rural regions) would make it difficult for one to use even a low-cost electric washing machine. Remya Jose, Kerala,then a class 11 student, thought of a simple, ingenious solution. She developed a washing machine which does more than just wash clothes. It even provides its users the chance to shed a few kilos!
Modified hand pump with tap and attachment for filling animal trough Lack of surface water sources & falling water table - problem in Rajasthan. Swayambhoo Sharma came up with an interesting solution to address the drinking water needs of animals. He developed an arrangement such that every time people pump water for their use, 20 per cent of pumped water will directly go to fill animal water trough. Since most people feel lazy in filling drinking water trough for stray animals, this innovations solves this problem by a kind of tax at source. Another problem faced in hand pumps is that a single person finds it very difficult to pump and at the same drink water Chandan Agarwal, then a first year student at IIMA came out with an idea of storing water in the body of the hand pump so that having pumped, one could use a tap and drink water like any other tap.
