30-Second Plain English Summary

AICTE Open Innovation: Smart Vehicles & Commutation (Hardware) — Commercial electric two-wheelers and retrofitted EV three-wheelers in India suffer from sudden battery fires, inaccurate State-of-Charge (SoC) displays, and battery degradation due to low-cost unmonitored Battery Management Systems (BMS). Build an Intelligent Automotive Smart Battery Management System (BMS) and Connected Telematics Hardware Box featuring active individual cell voltage monitoring (14S/16S LiFePO4/NMC), dynamic active cell balancing, multi-channel thermal NTC sensors, and real-time 4G CAN-bus telemetry.

Al-Assisted Early Detection System for Osteoarthritis (OA) Risk Markers in North Eastern Region (NER)

Physically demanding mountain livelihoods in the North East cause severe undiagnosed osteoarthritis, yet remote primary health centers lack orthopaedic specialists and imaging tools. Build a smartphone-based early screening tool that uses computer vision pose estimation to analyze knee joint flexion, walking gait anomalies, and clinical symptoms during field health camps.

PS 26005HW

Solar-Powered Smart Mini Cold Storage System for Fresh Vegetables in North Eastern Region (NER)

Horticultural farmers across remote North Eastern hills suffer massive post-harvest vegetable spoilage due to frequent grid power failures and lack of localized cooling facilities. Build an IoT and embedded digital twin monitoring platform for decentralized, solar-powered cold storage units that tracks chamber temperature, humidity, battery autonomy, and storage lifespan.

Development of an Intelligent Freight Forecasting Model for Optimized Vessel Chartering and Bulk Cargo Procurement from overseas to East Coast of India

SAIL relies on volatile daily spot market chartering to import bulk coking coal from Australia, the US, and Mozambique to East Coast Indian ports, resulting in costly freight premiums and vessel demurrage. Build an AI freight rate forecasting and chartering optimizer that models international Baltic indices, trade lane dynamics, and Indian port draft/LOA constraints to recommend optimal short/mid-term contract entry windows.
