Dear Prof. Jayavel, Greetings from Techpedia (http://techpedia.in) and Team GYTI 2015. SRISTI (Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions) has established three national awards for innovative student projects in engineering, pharmacy, science and other applied technologies. These will be given away by Dr. R. A. Mashelkar (Chairperson, NIF) at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi during Festival of Innovations (FOIN) on 8th March 2015. As you are an expert in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks and similar areas, many of your students might have done great projects in these areas. You may kindly nominate them or ask them to self-nominate/apply for the Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Awards 2015. The awards will be given to young innovators in the following categories: Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Awards, 2015 · MLM ( More from less for Many ) award · SRISTI socially relevant technological innovation award · Technological-edge award SRISTI invites entries for these three awards by 31st December, 2014. Student projects which address an important social, environmental or technological problem faced by masses or disadvantaged people/sectors/spaces or micro and small enterprises, or have the potential to impact a pressing national need are invited. The applications may be made by the past or present students of technical institutions/universities. On behalf of the students who have already passed out and left the Institute/University, the faculty member, who supervised the project, can also apply. The full project report of the shortlisted projects will be needed for final evaluation. Last date for submission of entries is 31st December 2014. All the shortlisted entries will be displayed by winners at the annual exhibition at Rashtrapati Bhavan during Festival of Innovations (FOIN) in March 2015. The abstracts of submitted entries will be included in www.techpedia.in database with due acknowledgement of the name of the team members, supervisor, college, department and any contact information provided. The exhibition will be visited by leading policy makers and practitioners of the country and also from abroad.
