Reversible benches

Reversible bench idea is submitted by a student from Ludhiana. The benches can have handles to rotate when needed like when they become wet due to rain or dirty.

Solar powered seed driller was developed from a boy from Pudukkottai. It eases the plantation of different size of seeds at variable depth by allowing space between two seeds.

Loom for physically challenged

Loom for differently abled people was proposed by two sisters from Erode. This is very helpful for lower limbed physically challenged. In the loom there is a pedal operated system with a motor and a gearbox. It is attached to a pulley mechanism.

Gas lighter with leak alarm system

Colour coded thermometer

Colour coded thermometer was submitted by a plus 2 student from Bengaluru. The idea is different colours indicate the various level of temperature. The thermometer has three colours, green indicates normal temperature, and orange reveals the intermediate whereas red colour shows emergency.
