Energy


Domain of activity- Environment/Energy



Objectives / Deliverables
- Solar still is the term used to refer to those distillation devices which rely on solar energy to produce drinking water from waste-water. Most of the existing solar stills are easy to fabricate and are very economical, but the major issue with the conventional solar stills is that their productivity is very less, around 3-5 l/m2/day. It precludes them from being used extensively. Hence, we focus on the design and demonstration of solar stills that have significantly higher water production due to process intensification of the basic solar still by multiple means like heat integration/enhanced evaporation via hydrophobic membrane. Another problem faced by the solar stills are their productivity during off-sunshine hours is typically very low; the present proposal addresses this issue too by using solar cells to warm the fluid in the absence of a solar flux along with a phase change material/solar cells.

Objectives / Deliverables
- Water stagnation in pavements have become a serious health issue and traffic problem in many local roads and major highways in UP and other states, especially during heavy rains and monsoon seasons. This project proposes to develop cement based composites for pavements capable of provided a self-draining system wherein the water does not get collected on the surface but will pass through the composite and reach the soil or foundation beneath. Such composites can help in increasing the water table uniformly across all regions, thereby providing a sustainable way to protect water in the environment and human health from diseases that arise because of breeding of mosquitoes.

Domain of activity- Health/Environment

Objectives / Deliverables
- India's remarkable growth record, however, has been clouded by a degrading environment and growing scarcity of natural resources. India has long faced the challenge of providing safe drinking water to over 700 million people in more than 1.5 million villages. Techniques such as adsorption, precipitation, flocculation and reverse osmosis provide the transfer of pollutants from one phase to another leaving their complete removal in question. Photocatalysis is one of the most prominent process for water purification which uses low cost photocatalysts harnessing solar energy. This project aims to develop a scalable and economical wastewater treatment process by integrating nano-photocatalysts to degrade organic pollutants present in waste water.

Domain of activity- Environment

Objectives / Deliverables
- This area has been historically affected by industrial chromium-laden waste dumping (since late 1980s), which has contaminated the upper groundwater aquifers and has affected health and livelihood of nearly 1000 residents. After a long struggle with authorities, a deep tubewell has been dug that can reportedly tap Cr-free water from a deeper (1200 ft) aquifer and store it into a previously constructed overhead tank. However, the pumping and piping network to distribute this water to individual houses has not been laid. This project will target laying down of such a network and providing immediate supply to this habitation a source of clean water for domestic purposes. The project would also target addressing increased salinity in soils and stunted growth of agricultural produce, that has been impacted by continuous use of Cr-laden groundwater, by using crops that may reduce sodicity.

Domain of activity- Environment/ Social business project

Objectives / Deliverables
- Several community eateries (hostels, hotels, restaurants) generate huge amounts of segregated kitchen waste every day. While some of it is fed to animals or recycled in some way, a majority of it goes waste. Furthermore, a part of this waste is difficult to compost as it contains oil and spices which are detrimental to the growth of biodegrading bacteria. This project will utilize established methods to produce and reutilize the solid and liquid compost generated out of this kitchen waste for farming applications.

Domain of activity- Welfare of scheduled tribes and Environmental Sustainability

Objectives / Deliverables
- The project aims to document the traditional knowledge of the Jenu Kurubas specifically about honey collection, traditional medicine and afforestation. The Jenu Kurubas have been systematically rehabilitated from the reserve forests around Mysore, Chamarajnagar and Kodagu districts of Karnataka since 1970s. They have found it difficult to engage in sustainable occupations in their new habitats. The younger generations do not relate and often do not have a connection with the traditional practices of the community. Through this project it is intended to make a audio-visual documentation of the traditional practices and to distribute illustrated copies of the same in Jenu Nudi (language of the Jenu Kurubas) to the members of the community. The community members have sought training in apiculture farming in social forests and the land allotted to them through the Social Welfare Departments. They also need support to market the hive products traditional artifacts like bamboo mats and baskets.

Domain of activity- Health

Objectives / Deliverables
- Mental health disorders -- such as depression, addiction and autism -- are among the most prevalent and least addressed problems in the health sector. Medicines in many of these cases have limited efficacy and multiple side effects. Behavioural therapy approaches, on the other hand, are often expensive, inaccessible to masses, and associated with stigma. To address these limitations, we are developing software-based therapeutic interventions for mental health, which are grounded in scientific knowledge and will be clinically tested. We will provide these interventions in the form of websites and mobile apps that can be used by anyone, anytime, and free of cost.

Objectives / Deliverables- IIT Kanpur has adopted a cluster of 5 villages in its neighbourhood (Kalyanpur block). The district administration, with IIT Kanpur as its knowledge partner, plans to converge its efforts to make them "Model Villages'. The work is being taken under the aegis of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan. Our students and volunteers will work with the villagers to map their resources and identify the needs, and develop participatory processes that will help in formulating Village Development Plans. These plans shall reflect the choice of people. We will also work towards improving the quality of education in the village schools and render teachers training. Special effort will be made to improve the sanitation and hygiene in the villages by creating awareness, making villages open defecation free and bringing in solid waste handling systems. We will also look into agriculture, horticulture, fisheries, livestock and others. To make our efforts sustainable, we will strengthen the village level institutions, such as self help groups, farmers groups and youth clubs.
