AICTE Open Innovation: Smart Tourism & Hospitality (Hardware) — Remote archaeological monuments, national wildlife parks, and trekking trails in India lack electricity, internet connectivity, and tourist information kiosks, leaving tourists disoriented and disconnected during emergencies. Build a Standalone Solar-Powered Interactive Smart Tourist Kiosk and Emergency SOS Beacon featuring an outdoor e-Paper interactive display, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) localized audio guide broadcaster, satellite SOS messaging button, and solar energy harvesting.

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.
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.
Safe and Efficient Operation of Mine Vehicles in Fog and Low-Visibility Conditions in Open Cast Iron Ore Mines.
Monsoon fog at NMDC's Bailadila iron ore mines reduces haul road visibility to 3-5 meters, causing heavy dumpers to halt operations and costing millions in lost ore production. Build an edge-AI collision avoidance and situational awareness platform that fuses thermal imaging, LiDAR/radar proximity telemetry, and high-precision GPS haul road digital twin mapping.
