Problem Statements (3)
Match My TeamDesign and Development of Innovative Hand-Spinning Equipment for Enhancing Khadi Artisan Productivity and Income
Traditional manually operated New Model Charkhas used by rural women Khadi artisans suffer from heavy ergonomic strain, high yarn breakage, and low daily productivity, limiting artisan earnings. Build an ergonomic, low-friction hand-spinning system and smart artisan companion platform with planetary gear ratio optimization, lightweight composite spindles, and an IoT yarn quality & count counter.
Honey Chain: A block chain-based system for honey traceability and smart beekeeping management.
Rural beekeepers under KVIC's Honey Mission face severe market penalties due to counterfeit adulterated honey and lack of batch traceability. Build 'Honey Chain'—a permissioned blockchain traceability and IoT hive health monitoring platform that records floral origin, extraction telemetry, and NMR purity certificates onto an immutable ledger with consumer QR authentication.
Design and develop a smart, solar-powered drying and compact packaging system to support home-based agarbatti manufacturing by rural women artisans.
Rural women artisans producing hand-rolled incense sticks (agarbatti) suffer severe breakage, fragrance evaporation, and fungal mold during monsoon weather due to reliance on open sun drying. Build a smart, solar-powered closed drying chamber with PID temperature/humidity regulation, gentle laminar airflow, and a compact heat-sealing packaging workstation that preserves essential oil aromas.
