Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Delhi), the country’s premier institute of science and technology, exhibited their wide range of pioneering research-based projects at the ninth edition of its annual open house, I2Tech 2013.
I2Tech 2013 aimed at providing a distinctive platform for the students and professors of IIT Delhi to present some of the most innovative and commercially viable technical advancements developed as a part of their extensive research work and course curriculum.
The I2Tech 2013 Open House was held on Saturday, April 20, at the IIT Delhi premises. An established yearly entity, the I2Tech Open House provided a unique insight into the research driven curricula of IIT Delhi, facilitated by the state-of-art research facilities available at the institute.
One of the major attractions of the one-day event scheduled on April 20 was
the ‘multi-purpose wheelchair’ made by the students of IIIrd year. Anurag Kumar Singh, one of the students of the three-member team, explained further about their innovation. “It took us four months to make the wheelchair and it was sponsored by the Industrial Research Development (IRD) wing of IIT.
The wheelchair has four major facilities like the seat can be rotated and can adjusted on a western toilet, it can reach at a height of seven feet from the ground to get something from cupboards, it has a table to keep laptops and dishes and lastly it has a facility to clean the floor.” He further added, “We are really happy to announce that our project will soon be patented as there is no such wheelchair
anywhere.”
Another PHD student Pravin Jagtap also shared his thoughts on his innovation. “We made a rubber pad and a sliding system which can be used to prevent earthquake
vibrations. These products can be kept under any object, like a mirror almira as it has the ability to absorb earthquake vibrations and hence helps to retain the objects
during earthquakes.”
According to Manjeet Jassal, chairperson of Open House, there were many highlights of the event. “The live display of ground breaking research projects developed by students, staff and faculty, technical workshops by industry experts and a guided showcase of the on-campus laboratories were some of the highlights of the one of its kind exhibition.
There were a total of 600 projects that were displayed and more than 4000 outsiders visited the event.”
Other key projects displayed at I2Tech Open House 2013 were fresh and cool smart technology for garments, green power generation using diesel engines fueled with biodiesel – CNG, spectrum aware rural connectivity and biosensor chip for analysis of pesticide residue, heavy metal and bacterial contamination in milk.
The event was dedicated to provide an insight into path-breaking research work, student projects and the numerous advanced facilities and laboratories available at IIT Delhi. It consisted of presentations and demonstrations of projects worked upon by undergraduate and postgraduate students.
