Match My TeamSmart Water Purification and Quality Monitoring System for Rural and Mining-Affected Areas.
Rural communities and mining belts in Jharkhand suffer from groundwater contamination by heavy metals (arsenic, fluoride, iron) and bacterial pathogens, while existing water treatment plants break down unnoticed due to lack of continuous monitoring. Build an IoT and AI-enabled smart water purification and quality monitoring platform featuring multi-parameter water sensor probes, automated filter backwashing, and real-time community water safety dashboards.
AI-Powered Automated Underwater Marine Debris and Anomaly Detection System using Side-Scan Sonar Imagery
Marine plastic debris, discarded ghost fishing nets, and submerged pollutants in coastal and deep Indian waters degrade marine biodiversity and threaten submarine infrastructure with virtually zero automated underwater detection systems. Build an AI-powered automated underwater marine debris and anomaly detection platform for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and ROVs that uses deep learning computer vision with underwater optical restoration (water turbidity dehazing) to identify, classify, and map marine litter on the seafloor.
Student Innovation
AICTE Open Innovation: Renewable & Sustainable Energy (Software) — Commercial solar microgrids, wind farms, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in India suffer from power curtailment and financial penalties under Availability Based Tariff (ABT) regulations due to unpredictable cloud cover and intermittent wind gusts. Build an AI-Driven Renewable Energy Forecasting, Smart Battery Dispatch, and Microgrid Energy Trading Platform that uses satellite cloud tracking and machine learning to forecast solar/wind power generation 48 hours in advance and optimize battery charge/discharge cycles.
Student Innovation
AICTE Open Innovation: Renewable & Sustainable Energy (Hardware) — Off-grid rural villages, agricultural solar pumps, and telecom towers in India experience frequent battery failures and power blackouts because traditional solar inverters cannot handle fluctuating hybrid power inputs (solar PV + small wind turbine + grid) with high efficiency. Build an Intelligent Hybrid Solar-Wind Microgrid Inverter and Smart MPPT Charge Controller featuring dual Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) converters, bidirectional battery charging (LiFePO4/Lead-Acid), and digital power factor correction.
