Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Ignited Mind Children Creativity and Innovation Awards, 2020

In the memory of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the Honey Bee Network, SRISTI and GIAN have jointly organized an annual competition of Student’s Innovative and technical and institutional innovative ideas and prototypes.

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Children Creativity and innovation Award competition accepts entries from students up to class 12 and also from school dropouts. This award aims to develop a culture of the “Samvedna” among the children to find solutions to the local problems, addressing unmet social needs. This idea is to make children aware of the problems and hardships that have been faced by the common people in their day-to-day life with which many of us have learned to adapt and adjust. If children start becoming impatient with social inertia at an early age, it is likely that they will bring about more creative and compassionate changes in the society as they grow up.  

Prof Anil Gupta while welcoming the distinguished reviewers mentioned that Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Ignited Mind Children Creativity and Innovation Awards is  given to students with the most promising ideas that address day-to-day problems faced by society, environment and others. The Members of the review Committee includes Anil K. Gupta  Founder, Honey Bee Network, SRISTI, GIAN& NIF,  and CSIR Bhatnagar Fellow), P V M Rao (Professor and Head, Department of Design, IIT-Delhi), Dr. Viswajanani Sattigeri (Head, CSIR-TKDL),  Vijaya Sherry Chand  (Professor & Chairperson, Ravi J. Matthai Centre for Educational Innovation, RJMCEI, IIM),  Ambrish Dongre (Professor, RJMCEI, IIM), Premilla D’Cruz (Professor, IIM), Navdeep Mathur (Professor, IIMA), Dr Vipin Kumar, Director and Chief Innovation Officer, NIF, Dr Nitin Maurya (Scientist, NIF) and  Dr Anamika Dey (CEO, GIAN and Visiting Faculty, IIMA).

Supply of fresh air to the house through electrical fittings

We keep pipes of electrical fittings with its wires inside the walls in hollow soft plastic pipe of 3 to 6 mm. All the rooms, lobby and kitchen have these wires embedded in the switch boards. We will install an electric pump / blower at the top of the roof. This pump will send air through that 6mm soft pipe to all rooms, each of which will have an air opening in each electrical switch board. Fresh air will come inside the house through this opening placed in the switch board. This method will increase the oxygen level in the house. In the event of closed windows and doors, fresh air will still continue to enter the rooms through the soft plastic pipes. of electrical fittings. A small hole in the switch board can be made to keep fresh air flow in the rooms. To maintain the circulation of fresh air in that pipe, we have to install a motorized blower with filters on the roof.

Reduction in Ear pressure due to the continuous use of mask

Health workers, police, and other users have to wear mask for a long time of the day causing constant pressure on the ears. With the help of a discarded plastic,(or any flexible board) a design is made that will stick to the back of the head when you use the mask. As a result, there will be no pressure behind the ears.

A height adjustable Chair for old and physically challenged people

Some people cannot sit on the ground. Many adult and physically challenged people face the problem while sitting. A chair should be made in such a manner that the person sitting on it could raise its height with the help of handle placed on the side chair . This will make it easier for the person with disabilities to get up from the surface of the ground without any hardship.

Finger crushing Detector in doors

We start by connecting out IR (infrared sensors) which are used for detecting obstacles (a human hand or fingers) to the Arduino and feed that information to the micro-controller. The IR sensor is arranged as, in one direction ( up or down) will be transmitters and the other side will be receivers. All the IR transmitters and receivers will be connected to one Arduino. The IR’s will detect any object which will go to the Arduino and glow the LED (for light indication) or can also be used for a voice message or alert. The light transmitted by the LED can be sensed by the photosensitive sensor or by programming Arduino when IR sensors detect obstacles, can be used as signals to the hinges to lock itself in place or put an obstacle in the middle. If we are using special lock hinges, these have to be re-designed for this purpose.

A Litmus kind of Paper strip test for artificial sweetness detection in fruits

Now-a-days, the vendors inject artificial sweetner in the fruits to boost their sales and earn extra money at the cost of our health. We can use a litmus kind of paper to detect the extent of externally induced sweetness of fruit/vegetable as distinct from the natural one. When the vegetables/fruits are put to test by the paper strip test, the colour changes as indication of artificial usage of sweetness on the fruits/vegetables.
