Problem Statements
| S.No. | Theme | Problem Statement and Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Solid Waste/ Bio-waste/ E-waste | Design a home level cost effective safety technology to dispose Solid waste and e- waste by without affecting environment. |
| 2 | Solid Waste/ Bio-waste/ E-waste | Design a smart waste collection system that allows citizens to segregate the various types of solid waste they want to dispose and the municipal authorities to efficiently collect the same. The system should be mobile app (Android) based. |
| 3 | Solid Waste/ Bio-waste/ E-waste | How might we design an extendable, adjustable-hand fork for sanitation workers (Thooimai Paniyalargal) in rural areas, allowing them to safely and efficiently separate plastic waste from organic waste while minimizing direct contact and improving safety and comfort? |
