IIT Jodhpur and I.D.E.A.S. competition

IIT Jodhpur will be Innovators’ Destination for Entrepreneurship and Amelioration of Society

(I.D.E.A.S). IIT Jodhpur will focus on Entrepreneurs who can make a strong impact on the

society through solving the problems faced by the society. As the country always believes

“Loka Samastha Sukino Bhavanthu” is the slogan of Innovation and Incubation center of IIT

Jodhpur and the themes with which the business plans called for will also adher to the

benefit and betterment of the society.

In the year 2012-2013, IIT Jodhpur floated I.D.E.A.S. competition on the theme

“Information and Communication Technology for health monitoring of Women and

Children”. The response from students across the country was overwhelming with 11

different ideas funded and getting incubated at IIT Jodhpur. The honorable Minister of HRD,

Mr. Pallam Raju had awarded the seed money to all winners on 16th April 2013.

Success Story of Innovation and Incubation Center at IIT Jodhpur

The first company “EduXtree” incubated at IIT Jodhpur was unveiled by the honorable

Minster of HRD on 16th April 2013. This company is owned by pioneer batch student of IIT

Jodhpur, Mr. Lal Chand Bisu. Mr. Lal Chand Bisu’s idea was selected in 2011-2012

competition and incubated in IIT Jodhpur for a year and the company got unveiled in 2013.

Plan for I.D.E.A.S. competition 2013-2014:

Objective

This initiative intends to nurture young minds and help their ideas gain ground through

channelized guidance and mentorship by industry experts. The theme for the current year

competition is “Hygiene, Health, Sanitation and waste management”. The competitors

should be developing prototypes on automatic toilets which can sanitize itself as well as the

user. The prototypes will be then be scaled up at IIT Jodhpur and real time utility in nearby

villages in order to enable the underprivileged society to learn sanitation and hygiene.

Sanitation and Hygiene facilities existing in the Rajasthan region, by and large in the

country have left much to be desired. In the present year I.D.E.A.S. competition, the social

problem that our I.D.E.A.S. team would pay attention to is “Hygiene, Health, Sanitation

and waste management”.

The rationale behind the topic selected is as follows:

In our country approximately 638 million people defecate in the open, which is around 50

per cent of the population. The worst part of the scenario is that only 53 per cent of the

population wash hands with soap after defecation, 38 per cent wash hands with soap before

eating and only 30 per cent wash hands with soap before preparing food. On an average

merely 11 per cent of the Indian rural families dispose child stools safely whereas 80 per

cent children’s stools are left in the open or thrown into the garbage. About 6 per cent of

rural children less than five years of age use toilets. The diseases that spread due to lack of

sanitation and hygiene include diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid, respiratory infections, skin and

eye infections.

The consequences being (i) People are less likely to be able to drink safe water, (ii) use basic sanitation facilities and (iii) maintain improved hygiene practices.

Through this competition we would like to impose technology in sanitation and Hygiene via

(i) Automatic sanitation of the toilets and the user, (ii) recycling of the waste water from the

toilets, (iii) solid waste from the toilets should be collected separately, incinerated and

utilized as alternate energy source. The greater expectation in technology part is that all the

above said processes should be automatic and in closed loop. The treated waste water

should be reused and the collection of the solid waste should not be visible to the user.

Apart from this basic hygiene in sanitation we would like to get ideas in

Water management and purification:

1. Reservoir for rainwater storage at very low cost

2. Low cost water purification systems

3. Detection and removal of harmful microbes, chemicals and heavy metals in water

4. Low cost solutions for recycling and reuse of waste water

5. Water recycling with zero waste water

Waste management:

1. Recycling expired medicines

2. Easy and fast detection of expired medicines

3. Local waste segregation and management

4. Simple tools to solve the issue of manual scavenging

5. Local or immediate energy generation from solid degradable waste

Food Hygiene and management:

1. Novel methods for growing organic food in dry and deserted areas

2. Quality maintenance of food

3. Easy and fast detection of adulteration and pesticide detection in food and food

products

4. Soft methods to separate out sheaths of rice and other food grains

5. Recycle of fibrous part of various food items

Health:

1. Ultrafast urine, stool and blood test kit

2. Automatic stethoscope

3. Low cost device to detect Iron, Calcium deficiency in women

4. Herbal medicines and cure detection

5. Heating and Cold Storage system in Hospitals using waste recovery or recycling

Safety: 1. Cheap, foldable, sturdy house

2. Cheap Alarm for fire and attached fire extinguisher

3. Cheap ration holder for flood and drought

4. Flood safety kit for life saving buoyant
