One of the major uses of Navigation based application is Location-Based Services (LBS) which constitutes a significant portion of the navigation application usage. The availability of location-sensitive smartphones, with wireless broadband high-speed connections, has made low-cost applications available to a huge audience and there exists a lot of innovation in designing new type of technology and applications using these devices. Typically, it is seen that outdoor positioning is generally GPS/GNSS based. However, indoor positioning is generally based on WLAN technology. The primary reason is that GPS generally does not work for indoor applications. Uninterrupted good accuracy positioning needs thinking in the fusion of multiple technologies (Smart Phone Sensors, Wi-Fi, BLE beacons, GNSS, Dead Reckoning etc.) to deliver seamless out-door and indoor positioning experience. To design/develop new ideas and mobile app which makes use of these technologies (and even other signals of opportunity) to provide seamless indoor-outdoor positioning and provide innovative location-based services.

The ionospheric electron density is sensitive to the space weather parameters like Sunspot numbers, F10.7, Interplanetary magnetic field etc. and shows variation with respect to them. These parameters are detected and measured at L1 point (currently by ESA / NASA satellites) and are transmitted to earth. So, the information about these parameters are available before they actually influence the terrestrial ionosphere. Importantly, all these data are freely available over internet. The abovementioned parameters affect the ionospheric TEC, which in turn shows abrupt variations and deviations from the nominal characteristics. Therefore, these unconventionalities, which are typically observed during solar and geomagnetic storms, are necessary to be identified. This is also important, because the performance of the GNSS system, which is currently driving millions of applications, are also affected by the ionospheric variabilities. So, prediction of the TEC provides a handle to take necessary actions to avoid or mitigate the resultant impairments arising out of the above facts. For the purpose, the time sequence of space-weather parameters, along with the local time, location, season, date etc. can be related to the same for the vertical TEC and a definitive relationship can be established using Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, like neural networks or other deep learning algorithms. Once trained with known dataset, the AI based algorithm may be able to predict the expected TEC variations which can be used by the concerned users. The schematic for the approach may be as the following. The problem requires the development of the proper AI algorithm to use the available space weather and other data to predict the TEC variations at one particular location on the earth, preferably over the geomagnetic equator.

Background: Navigating an intersection with traffic lights is a challenging but safety critical task for a self-driving car. Using perception to identify traffic light positions and states despite lighting conditions and occlusions is an interesting problem that a 3D simulation environment can safely and effectively provide a solution for. Automated Driving Toolbox™ provides a 3D simulation environment powered by Unreal Engine® from Epic Games® that can be used to visualize traffic lights and the motion of a vehicle in a 3D scene. Description: Use MATLAB® and Simulink® to load a pre-built Unreal scene, detect and identify the state of the traffic light nearest to the ego-vehicle, design a Stateflow® model to control traffic lights in the scene, and control the reaction of the ego-vehicle in accordance with the traffic lights and surrounding vehicles. The position and color state of the traffic light at an intersection can be obtained by using a combination of sensors and perception algorithms. Perception can be used to identify surrounding vehicles which can also be used to inform decisions. Identify distance between the traffic light nearest to the ego-vehicle and the ego-vehicle in a pre-built Unreal scene intersection. Identify the color of the traffic light using camera output and perception. Control the change of state of the traffic light using Stateflow. The ego-vehicle should react to the traffic light information. Build your own scenes with the following suggested requirements and perform a quantitative analysis of your algorithm: a. Traffic lights obstructed by trees b. Various types of traffic lights like hanging on a pole, multiple traffic lights in different orientations at an intersection c. Scenes with different weather conditions Work with Automated Driving Toolbox™ , Computer Vision Toolbox™ , Lidar Toolbox™ and Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox™ https://www.mathworks.com/products/sensor-fusion-and-tracking.html for this project.

Background: The world’s natural resources are already depleting, and people are starting to feel the repercussions of a wasteful lifestyle. As such, energy conservation is vital in today’s world. Not only does it help households save money, but it also encourages consumers to be more conscious about preserving natural resources. IoT has made homes smarter, so its application in energy conservation is more accessible. Smart appliances can inform homeowners of real-time consumption so that they can monitor their energy usage. Reports can easily be generated or extracted, allowing homeowners to monitor their daily, weekly, and monthly energy consumption accurately. In addition, sensors can be installed so that when owners leave the house, appliances will automatically turn off to conserve energy. Summary: In order to conserve energy we need to keep a check on all the type of resources that are being used in our day to day life. With IoT it becomes easy to track the resources we are using and we can monitor and keep a check on. Reports generated from such monitoring system can help in conserving natural resources and reduce unnecessary wastage if any. Objective: : We would like you to develop a mobile/web app system using IoT to make energy conservation easy. Also provide reports on usage of all the resources in day to day life and smart automation methods to reduce the amounts of any resource we use.

Background: Passwords are ubiquitous today on any platform, on possibly any website. But to remember so difficult passwords and that too on numerous websites seems daunting and therefore you can devise a project illustrating graphical password strategy. This will allow the user to set passwords in the form of graphical presentation in a certain pattern and later use that pattern to login o the system. Summary: Remembering numerous passwords from various different sites can be difficult for a user. So to provide some flexibility we can provide users a graphical password authentication system where instead of creating a password a user has to select graphical objects in a particular order to keep it as their password. Objective: : In this method, the user is required to select some images (let’s say different chocolates) in a specific pattern (for example dairy milk is followed by 5 stars which is in turn followed by KitKat and so on). Next time the user tries to log in, the images would have been shuffled, but the user will be required to follow the same pattern which was used initially. Every time the user will have to use the same sequence while the images are placed in different ways. This type of authentication is difficult to break since neither brute force nor dictionary attacks could breach it. We need techniques that can be easily implemented and provide better results to this process.

"Background: Government purchases various components through tender which takes a lot of time as the process of allocation of tender takes more than 2 months. Often it is observed after allocation of tender the fulfillment of the required tender takes more than required time. From tender allocation to tender completion it takes more than 6 months to complete all the process as government itself have to compare all the required items. Summary: Government purchases various components through tender which takes a lot of time as the process of allocation of tender takes more than 2 months. Often it is observed after allocation of tender the fulfillment of the required tender takes more than required time. From tender allocation to tender completion it takes more than 6 months to complete all the process as government itself have to compare all the required items. Addressing this issue will help the government in having transparency and parity in rates of items procured by different Govt organizations and the entire process of tender allocation will take very less time then what is taking now. Objective: : There is a requirement of software(Mobile/Web App) for Govt procurements which lists various items with specifications, rates, warranty and compare them and decide the best option., like one available for car insurance etc. This may avoid calling tenders, deciding L1 etc. This may also brought, transparency and parity in rates of items procured by different Govt organisations."

"Background: India as we know is a densely populated country and Every year more than 6 crores of Indians graduates from diverse backgrounds and with diversity in education. Almost similar number of students enter into colleges for taking various education to help them in seeking jobs. With the advent of time technology and the requirement of job sector has changed drastically as compared to 10 years back.Many sectors have experienced tremendous growth in employment and thus masses opt for those sectors whereas in many sectors there is huge unemployment either due to low jobs availability or demand of skilled workers is required. Thinking of the each and every branch and when comparing it with the current employment in India and abroad, we will definitely find some points that will help in predicting the admissions and jobs scenarios in the fields of engineering and technology, management and pharmacy.

Background: In order to realise the goal of demographic divide, every citizen of the country needs to be educated for job, be it a scientist, a doctor, engineer or whatever to meet not only the needs of our society but also the other societies elsewhere in the world. Every student aspires to become a great person and self reliant, but their passion and likings are diverse. In order to cater to the aspirations of the students and facilitate them to aim it high, they are required to be informed about the number and type of jobs this country has in the future years, as also the number of business persons, entrepreneurs, workforce in all areas of employment. A national database of actual requirement of workforce, category-wise by both Government and Industry, the type of educational or skill qualification required, nature of job, eligibility criteria, salary and perks, career development /progression in every field / sector of employment is urgently required. As each individual nurtures different desires to become in their life, there is a need for career dendrogram, so that one can put forth a concerted efforts to become the best in his vocation and excel in life rather than make umpteen number of mistakes of wrong selection of course of education or career and repent later and go on trying different things losing his precious time/life.

According to their performance in their workplace, their hobbies and extra curricular activities the portal should suggest them their career goals. This can be what they are best in and according to that what is the best career they can choose for themselves. This can reduce in making mistakes in selecting career.

"Background: Teachers, students are encouraged to take up research and innovate. Current accreditation, ranking and grading norms emphasizes research work and publications by both students and faculty. In order to take up research work and subsequently make publications of research findings, to collaborate and network with others who are working on similar problems there is a need to participate in global, national and local workshops, seminars, symposia, conferences, etc. Students have to search for information about dates, places and themes of such academic confluences. Lot of time and efforts are wasted in this regard and despite that they may miss out vital information and chance to make presentations. Availability of single portal will be extremely useful for obtaining the information about all academic activities across the country, universities and international arena in chronological order and in subject areas so as to enable the students, faculty, and researchers to access information and prepare well in advance and participate effectively and successfully.

"Background: Retirement of faculties and appointment of faculties in colleges is not standardised in our country. While retirements are mandatory on superannuation, steps to fill up the vacancy that arises immediately is lacking. When a vacancy arises in the middle of the academic year on account of the superannuation of a faculty, the students are the victims. There should be state or National registry or databank to assess the actual faculty requirement college-wise keeping in view the date of retirement and number of teachers who retire, so that recruitment process can start well in advance and the faculty is readily available as soon as a faculty retires. Standard of education in India cannot be improved unless we fill all the vacancies every year selecting suitable candidates. Summary: Faculty’s appointment in colleges tend to be slow in our country when there is an immediate need of faculty. This happens because in so short notice it is impossible to get a faculty for the college. This problem makes the students victim where they lack behind in their academics. Addressing this problem can help in appointing faculties in a very roburst process. Objective: : We need you to create an app which will indicate the future vacancies and positions so that proper planning of recruitment is possible. All the data of faculties who are retiring or leaving the institute should be updated in the app and simultaneously find out faculties for that position who are ready to join. This would help to decrease in manually searching for faculties and automatically find and contact the faculties who are interested to join."

At present, there is no mechanism available to find out how to estimate/forecast employment potential for any branch(s)/course(s) in Engineering/Management/Pharmacy etc on short term and long term basis by correlating data from various sources and formulating computer program/application using neural networks OR any other programming tools.Development of Application Software to estimate/forecast employment potential of Graduates/Post Graduates in different branches/courses on short term and long term basis by correlating data from various sources could be useful for granting approval along with infrastructure and other facilities.Modern era AI and computing systems can be employed to help in the process and any significant innovation in this field is highly appreciated which considers multiple factors and forecasts the admissions and jobs sector scenarios.There is a need to forecast the current trend in the admissions and job sectors so as to blend the courses and syllabus accordingly to keep the youth employed and skilled with rapidly changing world."

"Background: There are many Governmental and Non-Governmental sources of grants for undertaking research in Colleges and Universities. Lack of information in one platform about the institution granting funds, criteria of selection, norms and stipulations, time period, purpose for which grants are available, last date, eligibility criteria for all the grants available at International, National levels and local and subject-wise details, is inhibiting several potential researchers from availing the grants for undertaking research projects. Provision of such a platform would be useful in enabling healthy competition among researchers and also for the best utilization of funds for research programs. Summary: Research has been the backbone of an excellent education system and in order to add value to the research ecosystem of the country, there of need to have a robust platform available for the researchers wherein they can have the information available about the national/international grants available for them to carry out research activities more effectively. Objective: : To develop a robust online platform for the researchers providing the information and relevant details about national/international research grants"

"Background: There are more than 1000 universities in India and these universities are offering thousands of undergraduate, post-Graduate and doctorate courses. The students applying for these universities have to do a lot of comparison for choosing the university/course on the basis of various criteria’s. A PAN India university information bank is required for accessing course details, comparison of courses, facilities and faculty, admission, tracking student mobility, viewing results, evaluation and certification, verification of certificates, joint online courses (MOOCs). This will help both student and faculty communities for self improvement through comparison and emulations. Lack of information is leading to self glorification and inbreeding among University and College student and faculty members. Summary: The universities in India provide various courses on different disciplines and the students have to compare these courses on the basis of various parameters. The courses range from Bachelor, Masters and P.hd courses. The integration of these details on a single platform will enhance the transparency and remove difficulty being faced by the students due to lack of information. Objective: : To develop an integrated platform to provide the information of the courses offered by Indian universities"

"Background: Due to the autonomy given to then Indian Universities, These institutions have developed their own annual academic calendars. The students wanting to get admissions in other institutions need to wait for the results of the previous course. Students of those Institutions who complete their examinations and get results early have the opportunity to select the course of their choice and move to the University of choice while those whose results are declared late have no (Or) less options of courses and colleges available for them. Students also have to travel to each of these colleges to get information, apply and get admitted and so on. This results in huge cost and loss of time to students in their academic career. In order to provide level playing grounds for all the students there is a need for effective implementation of a common uniform calendar in all the colleges and Universities across the Nation. Summary: An integrated annual academic calendar for all the Indian universities will bring better integration for the students going to different institutions for the higher degree program. This will also help in the government agencies to implement their schemes in all the academic institutions effectively due to a single integrated manner. Objective: : To develop an integrated annual academic calendar for all the Indian universities"

"Background: Every year there are lakhs of students who seek admission into various colleges around the country. Often students and their parents have to travel to multiple colleges physically to view the entire flora and fauna, view the infrastructure and gather information about various courses and facilities provided by college. Some people travel from one end of country to another which is time taking and is not easy to do instantly give the fact that students have very less time for completing the admission procedure. Summary: Every year there are lakhs of students who seek admission into various colleges around the country. Often students and their parents have to travel to multiple colleges physically to view the entire flora and fauna, view the infrastructure and gather information about various courses and facilities provided by college. Some people travel from one end of country to another which is time taking and is not easy to do instantly give the fact that students have very less time for completing the admission procedure. Hence with the modern technology rapidly growing, sitting at home we can take a virtual tour of some famous places of the world. Addressing this problem will enable the parents and students to get a full virtual tour of the colleges and get the information regarding courses and facilities provided instantly. This will save the time and expenses of travelling also and will enable in better decision making for the parents/guardians while choosing colleges, courses and hostel facilities.

"Background: Every year more than 6 crores of Indians graduates from diverse backgrounds and with diversity in education. Almost similar number of students enter into colleges for taking various education to help them in seeking jobs. The task to track students on a one on one basis and also send job alerts to the graduates is also hectic due to the huge number. AICTE and MHRD aims to track students and colleges to help them in various processes like ease of student identification, ease of AICTE approved college tracking, ease in distribution of fellowships, grants, training. Since there is no one point identification of students the process itself takes time as it requires to have letters from college heads which is also time taking process. Hence to track the huge number manually is hectic and a time taking process due to which many students and graduates may miss out on important opportunities. Summary: Due to the huge number of graduates and freshers entering into college, the task to track all becomes hectic if done manually. Also since no single point of data collection is done the task to send job alerts, track college students, granting fellowships, grants, trainings and similar works also becomes time consuming. Addressing this problem will give AICTE and MHRD, the ability to easily identify students, graduates and colleges so that the time to do the task is cut short and deserving students may not loose out on the important fellowships, grants, training opportunities and similar things if there is one point of viewing the entire data. This will also help in students to view all opportunities from one single point, be it jobs, training or fellowships. Objective: : There is a requirement of a single mobile application which uses modern technology to store students biometric details and college details to help in effective tracking for job alerts, fellowships, schemes. The working model should provide integration between National Academic Depositary, Digital Locker & Instant Aadhaar (Aadhaar Portal). This App will provide the link between Aadhaar Number & Roll Number and the students should update the data of “Aadhaar Number” along with “Roll Number” on National Academic Depositary (It is like Linking roll. no. with Aadhaar No.). This will help in Verification of AICTE Approved Institutes, Verification of Students and Message service for students like job alert etc."

"Background: India as we know is a densely populated country and the need to automate the banking and collating processes is widely needed. With the introduction of UID, it became mandatory to have it for identification purposes. Then slowly it got integrated with almost all the sectors. AICTE data base has information about Faculties and students of AICTE Approved Institutions including Aadhaar, PAN and Bank Details. The Aadhaar & Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account Details are maintained by UID & NPCI (National Payment Corporation of India). However still there is no integration done to obtain common facility that exists to verify the Aadhaar, Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account Details from UID & NPCI and PAN of the faculty and students. This increase time to get the details when needed and often results in delayed time. Summary: Due to the huge number of faculties and students and different points of data for verifying their Aadhaar, Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account Details from UID & NPCI and PAN. Addressing this problem will give AICTE and MHRD, the ability to easily identify students, faculties as it will be a single point of verification of them. Integration should be done to obtain common facility that exists to verify the Aadhaar, Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account Details from UID & NPCI and PAN of the faculty and students. Objective: : There is a requirement of a single portal/app which uses modern technology to become a One Point Student/Faculty Details Verification through Functional Application Software. AICTE data base has information about Faculties and students of AICTE Approved Institutions including Aadhaar, PAN and Bank Details. Aadhaar & Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account Details are maintained by UID & NPCI (National Payment Corporation of India). Currently there is no common facility that exists to verify the Aadhaar, Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account Details from UID & NPCI and PAN. Availability of a functional software for automating the process of collating the information on Aadhaar, Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account Details and or PAN received from faculties/students for verifying these details from UID & NPCI is needed to reduce time spent when done manually. As such, the availability of functional application software will be extremely useful and ease of verification is the main point to be addressed and use of innovation is highly appreciated to fulfill the Objective: and involve modern technology.

"Background: Security Management System and its requirement in todays time is widely understood from the fact that people throughout the country have started opting for CCTV cameras in their home, offices and business. Although only the CCTV systems are not enough as criminals take advantage of blackouts (zones which are not covered by cameras) and enter the premise. Also in many cases it was found that criminals disrupted the power supply to the CCTV cameras or destroyed the cameras thus leaving no trace of the crime they committed. Summary: Security Management System and its requirement in todays time is widely understood from the fact that people throughout the country have started opting for CCTV cameras in their home. Although only the CCTV systems are not enough as criminals take advantage of blackouts(zones which are not covered by cameras) and enter house. Addressing this problem statement by using modern technologies like motion sensors, image recognition systems and IoT and biometrics, we can make our offices and home more secure. Objective: : There is a need to develop a robust security system which is not dependent on CCTV or any one technology but consist of multiple technologies and alerts the residents far away even when there is no one in the house. When it comes to the security of your business, home, offices, IoT can help save the day. IoT sim cards can be applied to various devices that can be connected to sensors such as clothing with biometric sensors, facial recognition, footprint sensors, and more to increase the security of homes, offices, and buildings. Just imagine the applications—doors can be unlocked through facial recognition, lights can be activated with motion or footprint sensors, the camera is activated, and a live feed is triggered on your smartphone, or the police can automatically be notified if an intruder breaks a lock in your home. Use of AI, biometrics, motion sensors and many cutting edge technology will result in a more robust system."

"Background: India as we know is a densely populated country and Every year more than 6 crores of Indians graduates from diverse backgrounds and with diversity in education. Almost similar number of students enter into colleges for taking various education to help them in seeking jobs. With the advent of time technology and the requirement of job sector has changed drastically as compared to 10 years back. However we still follow the same curriculum designed years back as per the need then. Lets take example of the learning basics of computers. With time industries have revolutionized and almost all require to have basic knowledge of computers for working or getting employed. Yet when we compare this with our curriculum we find that out of all existing subjects only 5-7% involve basic computer knowledge. Hence the need to modify the existing curriculum as the current demand is a must requirement. The above example for involving computers in all curriculum is a small example. Thinking of the each and every branch and when comparing it with the current employment in India and abroad, we will definitely find some points that require to be amended with the current syllabus. Summary: Due to the changing technology and its requirement for getting employed in India and abroad, our current curriculum needs some amendment. Be it the need of basic computer knowledge or using modern cutting edge tech to carry out surgeries or studying nano technology and use of modern cooling systems for making chips to become a superpower in semiconductors race, we need amendments in the current syllabus, without which we will still be lacking in the employment sector. This is not a one time process and needs to be done frequently as trends in the industry keep changing. Addressing this problem will introduce the required changes that would bring the current youth and upcoming generations in parallel with the students of other countries in terms of knowledge and skills. Mapping the structure, scheme and contents of the syllabus should be done keeping in mind the current and future requirements that the industry will ask from the individuals. The basics and fundamentals of a field will always remain the same and the most required aspect to be a pioneer, yet the amendments should be done frequently to keep the skills matching with the current and future job requiremnt. Objective: : AICTE approved courses in the field of Engineering and Technology, Management, Pharmacy, Architecture etc are affiliated to different Universities and are conducted as per the syllabus prescribed by these Universities. There are more than 100 such universities in the Country affiliating the same course(s). However, the structure of the course, content and scheme of the course differs widely from University to University, resulting in variation in the academic standards of the same degree approved by AICTE at the time of admission to higher studies and employment in India and abroad. Therefore there is a need to develop an application to map structure, content and scheme of the courses at present run by affiliated Universities and map important features and compare with a standard curriculum of highest standard. This would help AICTE to develop and enforce uniform academic standards all over the country for all its approved Courses. Modern era AI and computing systems can be employed to help in the process and any significant innovation in this field is highly appreciated. Development of Application software to map structure, content and scheme of the courses run by affiliating Universities (with mapping of important features) and compare with a standard curriculum could be useful to develop and enforce uniform academic standards all over the country for all its approved Courses. We aim for amendments in the curriculum which should be achieved by keeping the fundamentals as it is as it is the fundamental knowledge which helps to innovate and keep innovating."

"Background: The mining industry is known worldwide for its highly risky and hazardous working environment. Technological advancement in extraction techniques for proliferation of production levels has caused further concern for safety in this industry. Research so far in the area of safety has revealed that the majority of incidents in this hazardous industry take place because of human error, the control of which would enhance safety levels in working sites to a considerable extent. India is the world's second-largest coal producer as of 2021. Coal production in the country stood at 715.95 million tons (MT) in FY21. Between April 2021 and October 2021, coal production in India stood at 379.597 million tons (MT). Coal is the main pillar of India’s energy sector. In 2021, it said, India consumed 93.2 crore tons of coal, 77% of which came from domestic production and 90% of which was used for power generation. The National Foundation of India study said that crores of Indians depend on the coal economy directly or indirectly. It highlighted that more than 1.3 crore Indians are employed in coal mining, transport, power, sponge iron, steel and bricks sectors. According to studies, skill-based errors are most critical and require immediate attention for mitigation. Training and upskilling the work force can help avoid errors which are based on mostly based on predictive fuzzy reasoning. Summary: VR technology has its unique advantages in several fields related to coal mining, such as miner safety training and emergency rescue drilling, besides drifting-producing process simulation, disaster scenario simulation, and mechanical operation training. Coal mining, regarded as a high-risk industry, has a strong demand for virtual reality (VR) to fulfill safety and emergency rescue training. A cloud-based VR system is to be designed for the training of coal miners. This system has to be a browser/client architecture which will include modules demonstrating the full procedure of an underground coal mine. The online cloud-rendered video streaming is to be adopted to provide enough computing and rendering power for a better browser-based user experience. Furthermore, game artificial intelligence (AI) can also be introduced into the system to increase the emotional exchange between the system and users. Objective: The objective is to provide an AR/VR solution that can simulate the real life situations and challenges of the coal mining industry and the workers can be trained and can be given the first-hand experience and possible solution to tackle such a scenario which will help avoid mishappenings and could save dozens of lives."

"Background: In 2014, India became the second country in the world (after Mauritius) to mandate spend on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by introducing specific provisions through Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 (CA 2013). The new law required companies to spend in a given financial year, at-least two percent of their average net profits earned over the preceding three financial years subject to satisfying certain qualifying conditions. The Board of Directors were required to explain reasons for underspend, if any, in the company’s Annual Report. Over the years, these provisions underwent changes and more recently, with an objective to reinforce compliance, anti-abuse and strengthen governance, transparency and flexibility, the MCA has introduced significant changes through the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2020 and the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021 to amend the CA 2013 and its related rules. The amended rules became effective from 22 January 2021 and require close review as they directly impact implementation of a company’s CSR initiatives and also introduce new concepts like a specific negative list in the CSR definition, mandatory treatment of CSR underspend, mandatory impact assessment, mandatory registration by NGOs undertaking CSR activities, etc. These changes are likely to trigger impact across regulatory, accounting, finance and tax domains. Coal mining industry is not a clean industry and there is a need for balancing between the development opportunities provided by the industry and its environmental as well as social impacts. In response to the international call for sustainable development, integration of CSR measures in core operations of all business companies in India has been made mandatory and most of the companies claim compliance of the statute. The Indian coal mining industry has been making substantial expenditure and effort towards CSR initiatives since years in order to meet the legal requirements and international expectations. A study was required to analyze as to what extent CSR initiatives of the industry contribute to sustainable development, i.e. to what extent the use of natural resources and the environment is possible, given the current level of economic activity; what responsibilities the industry should bear in order to achieve sustainable development goals on its part and how far it has gone adopting CSR initiatives. Currently there is no mechanism to monitor the progress of a coal mining CSR project on a real time basis. Summary: Since the Corporate social investment can help businesses build a reputation as a responsible business, which in turn, lead to competitive advantage. Corporates sometime may take undue advantage of CSR projects to save taxes, attract investments, media attention, forge relations with local authorities to turn the bids in their favor etc. by announcing a big fund or categorizing a project under CSR. Amended CSR rules has cast enhanced obligation on the Board, CSR Committee and Chief Financial Officer of the Company for monitoring, evaluation and reporting of CSR activities of the Company. In light of the detailed requirements, a Company needs to assess and put in place, suitable mechanisms to collate the data required for disclosures. Also, an evaluation of the completeness of financial disclosures in the Annual Report is required CSR Rules mandatorily require impact assessment report to be placed before the Board and the reports to be annexed to the Annual Report on CSR. Companies should evaluate whether the full impact assessment report should be annexed to the report or an abridged version could be appended, with a reference to the Company’s website, if any, where the detailed report shall be hosted or provide details of a designated person who could be contacted for the full report, in case the Company does not maintain a website. Objective: To give a software and a hardware solution that can identify, track and monitor the progress of the project on a real time basis. The solution should also have the capability to store a databank of all the assets created and give the analytics from the same."

"Background: Mining operations are generally spread over a vast area in remote locations and harsh environments. Coal extraction is a high cost and increasingly high technology venture that requires the utmost operational efficiency as well as uninterrupted workflow and delivery cycles. Operations cannot afford to be impacted due to lack of visibility as to the location and status of machinery, equipment and vehicles, since this causes delays, increased cost and mounting losses and is also an open invitation to theft and misuse. Real-time location tracking and monitoring, especially of moveable assets such as the vehicle fleet transporting the coal, is thus of critical importance to the mining industry. Tracking pickups and deliveries of thousands of truck-loads moving daily to and from various locations inside mining areas to processing plants, rail wagons or jetties is a logistics nightmare. Moving vehicle registration plate detection: RFID is fitted with vehicles moving across the mining region. The RFIDs are mapped to their respective registration number. It happens that two vehicles may exchange registration plates for malicious purpose including theft or forgery. A system is to be created to extract registration number from number plate of moving vehicle. The data captured should be transferred to cloud environment which can be available for further analysis of theft or proof reading. Summary: In general, most companies employ an active (battery-powered) radio frequency identification system to track trucks entering and leaving a mine with a load. This can be accomplished via a real-time location system (RTLS) if there are vehicles parked that need to be located quickly. But more commonly, an active RFID transponder is affixed to a vehicle, with readers set up at various points—at a mine’s entry gate, at a weigh station, at an exit and so forth. Software tracks the truck’s location, and you can usually run a variety of reports. The best solution really depends on the type of information that you would like to collect and use. Objective: To create an anti-theft auto security system that can extract registration number from number plate of moving vehicle. And can capture and transfer data to cloud, which can be available for further analysis of theft or proof reading."

"Background: When the causes of fatal accident in coal mines are analyzed for the last 43 years since nationalization of coal mines, it is clearly observed that there are five major causes, such as Ground movement, Fall other than fall of ground, Transportation machinery (other than winding), machinery other than transportation machinery and explosives which contributes almost 91% of the total accident. That is why we divided the cause of the accident into five groups and rest of causes are in one group. Accidents due to ground movement contributed 41%, transportation of machinery (other than winding in shaft) contributing 31% along with Machinery Other than Transportation Machinery, Explosive and Fall (other than the fall of Ground) which contributed 6%, 4% and 9% respectively. When the last thirty-three years of fatal accident due to dumper and wheeled trackless transportation (truck, tractor, tanker) machinery data of Indian coal mining industry was further analyzed, an average number of accidents due to trackless transportation machinery (wheeled) came out to be quite high ranging from 47.2 to 28.3 per year. In Coal mining a dumper is loaded with Coal and then transported to specific location. Many such dumpers does not have load cells to measure the loaded quantity. Summary: In Coal mining a dumper is loaded with Coal and then transported to specific location. Many such dumpers do not have load cells to measure the loaded quantity. To make money, transporters prefer carrying more than the prescribed quantity of coal in their vehicles. Overloading exceeds the load rating of tires and braking system on a dump truck and extends the total stopping distance of the vehicle. In an emergency braking scenario, brakes get hot quickly and lose their effectiveness. Hence increasing the chances of accidents resulting in fatalities. Routine and regular overloading increases the wear and tear on structural, steering, chassis and suspension components which leads to a less than reliable hydraulic system. When drivers attempt to lift the dump bed, the hydraulic ram isn’t strong enough to lift the load. When the truck is parked on an angle, the additional weight of an overloaded dump bed causes the truck to tip to the side. Many a times overloading causes the truck to skid, resulting in a head-on crash or rollover incident. An overloaded truck is much harder to control during an off-the-road recovery. Objective: The object is to provide a solution to measure the load weight of the dumper using IoT technology. The solution should give dynamic measurements based of coal loaded into the dumper which will help stop overloading of the dumper and hence mitigate the risks of fatal accidents."

"Background: In 2017, the government was struggling to keep prices of the essential vegetable affordable as retail prices had crossed Rs 60 per kg in Delhi. Then Union Food Minister had expressed his helplessness in controlling onion prices and blamed reduction in the area of cultivation and hoarding by traders for the shortage. The government was forced to take measures such as procuring onions from local markets and discouraging exports to bring the prices down. In order to keep a watch on the hoarders, the government has roped in various agencies to keep a check on the hoarding activities over the period of time. Also, with predictions of a ""below average"" monsoon in the year 2019, the Central government asked procurement agencies to store at least 50,000 tons of onions to ensure that market prices remain under control in case of shortage. The buffer stock would be used to control prices in case there is a shortage of onions in the market. Fluctuating weather and decreasing monsoon, causes decrease in crop (onion) output which in turn creates a demand supply gap hence leading to increase in prices or inflation. Summary: Reports from across the country indicate there has been an unnatural spike in the prices of vegetables, disrupting the carefully planned kitchen budgets of millions. An all-India survey on the retail price of vegetables like onions and tomatoes between November 18 and 28 showed that most households in big tier-1 cities forked out around Rs 100 for a kilo, while the average payout in tier-2 and tier-3 cities was Rs 80 per kg. Even the prices of sturdier staple vegetable—potato are up about 20%. Unseasonal rains all over the country have ruined vegetable crops and disrupted market operations, creating a shortage. High diesel prices too have added to the woes of consumers as they bear the increased transport costs. The crash and spurt in prices of these essential veggies has unfortunately become an acceptable cycle. For instance, last year saw a high in onion prices in September and a huge spurt again was witnessed this February on account of unseasonal rains. Then followed a sudden spurt in production by mid-March triggering a 30-40% fall in prices. In Lasalgaon, India’s onion hub, farmers were in tears as prices crashed from Rs 4,000 a quintal to a low of Rs 2,500. The government had to take last-minute measures like banning onion exports as soon as prices soar. One of the reasons prices of potatoes are relatively stable compared to other vegetables is because they use 90% of the warehousing cold storage space and do not rot easily. Similar cold chain/ storage infrastructure for other important veggies, with central support, will give better returns to farmers and provide stable prices to consumers. The more perishable onions and tomatoes can be processed and stored, as is done in many advanced countries. Objective: The Department wishes to create buffer stock of onions in the harvest season and keep the buffer stock intact with its food value, moisture and taste for at least a period of six months from date of storage. We would want the technical solution to be proposed for the following:- (a (a) Storage of onions in the traditional storage systems and warehouses available in the country. (b) Technical solutions for storage of onions in temperature controlled storage systems, warehouses."

Background: Web-Based solution to track the status of document/file going through approval process in any department.Summary: All the Institutes/ Departments under the Ministry are using some common file/document movement and approval procedures. The physical movement of such files/ documents has many disadvantages. When a document file is under process of approval, the location of the file document where it has been delayed on the way while moving from table to table, is very difficult to trace. The status of a document/ file which has been initiated is not traceable until it returns back to the parent section/ Office. During physical movement of files, there is every chance of missing files. Due to natural disasters or mistakes on an individual level, files/ documents may get damaged. There is a possibility of tampering of documents even after the same has been approved/ closed. There is wastage of huge amounts of paper and printing expenses. This procedure also requires attendants/ peons/ MTS personnel for the physical movement of files. It requires huge space for storing files/record keeping.

"Summary: PM POSHAN is a mid-day meal programme for giving one hot cooked and nutritious meal to students of class 1 to 8 in all Government and Government-aided schools. Students from pre-primary class (Balvatika) will also be included from the year 2022-23. These meals are given once every day in school during school days. It is mandated that each child should get 450 calories and 12 grams protein at primary level and 700 calories and 20 grams protein at upper primary level per day. Third party evaluation has shown that this programme has a positive impact in retention of students in schools We need to track each child attendance and taking of POSHAN and the consequent impact on physical health and well-being as this has a direct co-relation to cognitive growth of the child We would also like to know the weekly Menu of each school, so that we are clear that the requisite calories are being served to each child We will perhaps need random photographs of meals being served The tracking at school, district, State and national level will be needed with the help of AI based tracker App-based solution."

"Summary: The Department has launched the NIPUN Bharat – a National Mission to achieve Foundational Literacy and Numeracy by Grade 3 within five years Guidelines have been prepared for the implementation of this Mission and disseminated to all states/UTs and Autonomous bodies of the department The guidelines contain clearly defined Lakshyas to be achieved by each child in the age group of 3-9 based on well laid down learning goals, competencies and outcomes It is essential that each child who crosses grade 3 achieves each of these Lakshyas, therefore each child in these grades needs to be monitored by the school and state At the national level only, aggregated data is required A user-friendly app will be required that is easy to operate for teachers, gives a child wise dashboard to parents and school Principal, and a school wise/school-aggregated dashboard to district level, and a district-aggregated dashboard for the state."

"Summary: DoSEL tracks OoSC through its portal PRABANDH Several ministries/departments collect all kinds of data – for example, MoRD collects data of below Poverty Line families, MWCD of adolescent girls and 0-6 years olds, MoLE of children of labourers, MSJE of SC/ST/Divyang students, etc. All the data points need to be studied to locate those that cover children of ages 3-18. A solution needs to be built around these data to locate unique OoSC district and state wise, in such a manner that it does not duplicate the data on PRABANDH."

"Summary: The National Education Policy discusses the need for ensuring joyful, holistic and engaging school education “It has been proven, that wellbeing, positive emotions and engagement can be taught to school children. By teaching happiness, we can teach children to discover and build strengths and to boost their optimism.” There can be several aspects of schooling that contribute to the happiness quotient of children/teachers/parents, such as, more activity-based learning than routine chalk and board one, reliably safe school, clean toilets, cheerful classrooms and surroundings, teachers who treat each other and children with respect and dignity, school that does well in many in diverse areas, school where parents are involved in some manner in the delivery of qualitative education, etc. The idea is to develop the parameters/indicators that go into making a school a happy school, and develop an App for self-assessment"

"Summary: To be able to graduate to objective type questions for one semester of online board exams, a question bank of at least 5000 questions will be required for each subject. Setting question papers for the exams is a complicated task.

Parents may also have several queries. They will need access to a counsellor either through chatbot or any other AI-based solution An App based comprehensive solution is required encompassing all these issues."

"Summary: The pandemic has clearly shown the important role of parents/families in facilitating, guiding, encouraging their children to imbibe learning in all formats. It is essential that we continue engagement with parents in a systematic format. Parents need to be aware of stage wise goals to be achieved by their children, be it in cognitive, psychomotor or affective domains. They also need to be aware of national and international research and evidence with regard to parenting at various stages of growth of their child/ren. Parents need to be aware of the mental and physical health and well-being status of their children and suggested proactive and responsive approaches Parents should be able to get responses for their typical queries too. An App-based solution that is parent-facing will be required."

BACKGROUND: In addition to size and scope, OT networks involve myriad types of devices connecting to their networks. Signature-based cybersecurity solutions are unlikely to deliver the requisite performance to detect new attack vectors (zero-day exploits). Artificial Intelligence can help discover devices and hidden patterns while processing large amounts of data. Machine Learning can help monitor incoming and outgoing traffic for any deviations in behaviour in the OT ecosystem. If a threat or anomaly is detected, alarms are to be sent to security admins warning them about the suspicious traffic. AI and ML can be used to build lightweight endpoint detection technologies. This can be an indispensable solution, especially in situations where OT devices lack the processing power and need behavior-based detection capabilities that aren't as resource intensive. Problem Statement ÔÇ£Build AI based tool to help discover devices and hidden patterns while processing large amounts of real-time pipeline operational data (Industrial protocols such as DNP 3.0, Modbus, IEC 101). The tool should help in monitoring incoming and outgoing traffic for any deviations in behaviour in the OT ecosystem. If threat or anomaly is detected, alarms should be sent to security admin warning them about the suspicious traffic. The tool should also suggest corrective actions/steps to be taken in order to thwart or minimize the attackÔÇÖs intensity and damage to the OT systems. Further, the tool should have in-built dashboard facility to display logs/reports to help the admin in carrying out diagnosis. ÔÇØ

It is required to forecast NATURAL GAS PRICE in international market for the period 2021 to 2026. The historical data is to be extracted programmatically from public websites (e.g. https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/natural-gas) and models need to be built upon the data. The software to be developed should take data input in MS Excel (CSV) format and provide the output with time-stamp in MS Excel (CSV) format. The input and output should also be shown as charts and/or dashboards in various formats (like day, week, work-week, month, quarter, year, etc.). The trend may be analyzed vis-?á-vis similar commodities like CRUDE OIL, COAL, etc. It is required to develop at least 3 independent advanced forecasting models using time-series analysis like ARIMA, EXPONENTIAL SMOOTHING and NEURAL NETWORKS (LSTM, etc.). The models should be built from scratch with comprehensive explanation of data (using EDA), trend analysis, assumptions, data cleaning and validation, data augmentation (if required). Performance of various models need to be clearly evaluated and best model needs to be recommended based on some robust evaluation criteria e.g. AIC (Akaike information criterion), Accuracy, F1 score, Recall, Precision, etc. as may be relevant. Just using a formula or package or library (without explanation from ground-up) in R, Python, SAS, KNIME, Prophet, SPSS, etc. will not be considered a solution. The development of model should be done from scratch only in R or Python (using standard libraries) and other standard software tools (SAS, KNIME, Prophet, etc.) may be used for benchmarking or analysis as may be required.

It is required to develop a smart attendance capturing mobile app with following features: 1. It should capture basic details of employees like Photograph (headshot), Name, Designation, Employee Number, Gender, Office Address, etc. 2. It should recognize the employee by face while capturing the attendance (entry) through face recognition and enter the relevant details including entry time in the system after successful face recognition. Similarly, while exiting the office premises, employee will be recognized using his/her face and exit time will be entered in the system. 3. The app should automatically capture the GPS location where the attendance is being taken and allow capturing the attendance only in a geo-fenced area (100 meters within LATITUDE/LONGITUDE) the office premises. Otherwise, the app should automatically exit. 4. The app should successfully work for any specific employees with or without wearing spectacles, cap or industrial helmet. The mobile app needs be developed on Android platform. The team members can be taken as employees and college/hackathon premises will be taken as office address for the purpose of demonstration. The mobile app must use deep learning powered computer vision for face recognition and the accuracy must be above 95%. Further, during the actual hackathon, a randomly chosen person will be entered as a new employee in the app and it should successfully capture the attendance (entry and exit) of that new employee for the purpose of demonstration of successful working of the app in order for GAIL to accept the solution.

"For the next Smart India Hackathon initiative of Education Ministry in Government of India, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations is likely to pose a challenge “How to make ICCR a paperless organization within one year?” to the potential hackathoners. The idea behind this challenge is to find the mother of all solutions to the multiple problems being faced by a government organization such as ICCR by adopting a Paperless Strategy under which ICCR will no longer issue or ask for paper documents across all of its internal and external operations. If achieved, this will not only make ICCR a fully paperless organization (the first one in GOI to embark on a path where 100 % of its internal processes and external interactions will be done digitally), but this will also eliminate the need of usinga significant quantity of paper in itsworking every year. The solution that ICCR is looking for is much more than the e-Office solution being provided by NIC, whose vision is to achieve a simplified, responsive, effective and transparent working of all Government Offices, but not to target a 100% paperless government or organization. The 6 features of the e-Office of NIC viz. SPARROW, eFile, KMS, PIMS, eTour and eLeave do not even try to help a government organization to go 100% paper-free.ICCR intends to embark on a journey to find the necessary technology and implement it within its organization to enable paper-free transactions. In case the hackathoners, during the next Smart India Hackathon 2022, are able to find an intelligent, lasting solution to this challenge in terms of suggesting a digital infrastructure and a robust and smart Document Management System (DMS) required for making ICCR a first Government of India organization to go paper-free by 31st December 2022, it would enable ICCR in becoming a smarter, faster, more transparent and thus, more accountable and more result-oriented as opposed to process-oriented organization. This “Mother of All Solutions” to most bureaucratic problems will thus set ICCR apart from other GOI organizations by helping it become a complete, round and mobile organization, in addition to, making it the first total paper-free, environment-friendly organization. ICCR does aspire to become an organization that wants to include India’s scientific temper, indigenous technology, innovation and Indian enterprise as essential parts of our Indian culture in its arsenal of soft power projection capabilities abroad. Moreover, the pandemic is making us realize how important the digital space has become and how much the requirement of physicality in Business Operations has shrunk. As a brief backgrounder, ICCR was set up in 1950 by Government of India to promote cultural relations between India and other countries. ICCR has the sanctioned strength of 207 officials and staff, has 38 Indian Cultural Centres abroad and 18 Regional Offices in India. ICCR organizes various cultural activities in India as well as abroad. The activities organized by ICCR during the last financial year 2020-21 can be seen in its Annual Report 2020-21 by scanning the QR code below."

ICCR would like to monitor all its Regional Offices in India on real-time basis for all the activities they do. This will help ICCR to implement its activities effectively and thus, evaluate their performances in real-time. ICCR maintains 18 Regional Offices (ROs) across India. These Regional Offices have been established to look after the interest of foreign students studying in these States. At any given point of time there are more than 5000 foreign students on the roll of ICCR admitted in various universities/colleges across India. The Regional Office also coordinates the ICCR’s activities in its area with regard to International Students Welfare, Cultural Performances by visiting foreign delegations, Outgoing Cultural Delegations from the region, Distinguished Visitors, Exhibitions, Seminars etc. Every month, Horizon Series/Kala Vishwa Programmes are organized for the local as well as ICCR empanelled artists. ROs coordinate closely with local cultural and educational organizations and the State Government for carrying out ICCR’s mandate of activities. Number of staff in each RO varies between 3 to 10 depending on number of Students and work in a particular Regional Office. Approximately Rs. 200 crore are spent annually by ICCR to administer scholarship programmes in addition to Establishment expenditure. Regional Office wise manpower strength/Number of students is as under (attached file)

ICCR would like to monitor all its Indian Cultural Centers (ICCs) abroad on real-time basis for all the activities they do. This will help ICCR to implement its activities effectively and thus, evaluate their performances in real-time. In order to promote awareness and appreciation of India’s rich cultural heritage abroad, ICCR is currently operating 37 Indian Cultural Centres (ICCs) in 37 countries on every continent across the world. In addition, it is also extending support to the ‘Casa de la India’ in Valladolid, Spain established on ‘PPP (public-Private Partnership)’ model. They promote Indian Music, Dance, Yoga, Hindi, Sanskrit, and other Indian cultural assets by deployment of India-based teachers, organizing exhibitions, programmes, and other activities under ICCR’s broad cultural diplomacy strategy. The activities of ICCs are normally managed with the help of 6 staff members. Presently, the functioning of ICCs is monitored by monthly activity reports sent by them by email.

CGWB suggests developing a standalone desktop application for analysis and interpretation of pumping test data which can be distributed as freeware for use by ground water professionals, researchers, students, teachers and others Considering the pivotal role of groundwater in the world’s water supply and its gradual depletion coupled with growing contamination, there is an urgent need to investigate the reaction of aquifers to various human activities in terms of both quantity and quality of groundwater so as to avoid severe and often irreversible damages to the mankind and ecosystem. To achieve this broad goal, a prior knowledge of the hydraulic properties of different aquifer systems is a basic necessity for almost all groundwater-related studies. The pumping test (or ‘aquifer performance test’) is the standard and most widely used method for determining the hydraulic parameters of aquifers. Pumping tests are conducted on a large scale by CGWB, State Groundwater Departments, and other Groundwater agencies for estimating the hydraulic characters of water bearing layers. Various aquifer parameters such as Transmissivity, Storativity, Specific Yield can be estimated using pumping test. Analysis and interpretation of pumping test data is a tedious process and is usually done using computer applications. However, there are no Indian software available for this purpose. Central Ground Water Board proposes to develop standalone desktop application for analysis and interpretation of pumping test data which can be distributed as freeware for use by ground water professionals, researchers, students, teachers and others. Data Source: Professionals using the software application will enter the data. The user can chose to enter the data directly using forms or import it from existing data sources. Expected Outcome: A standalone desktop application for analysis and interpretation of pumping test data. Modules for interpretation involving standard methods like Theiss, Theiss recovery and Jacob methods can be made part of the software application. Innovative approach may be attempted to: Design the most complete set of tools for aquifer test data input, analysis, visualization, interpretation and reporting.

With ever-increasing urban population growth and expanding area coverage, many water utilities in India struggling to provide clean drinking water to their consumers. Water supply issues are related to sources and usage of raw water; intermittent water supply and the quality of tap water at the consumers’ end. One of the major challenge facing is the high level of water loss in distribution networks. “Non-Revenue Water” (NRW) is defined as the difference between the amount of water put into the distribution system and the amount of water recovered from consumers. NRW is a good indicator for water utility performance; high levels of NRW typically indicate a poorly managed water utility. In addition, available NRW data are often found problematic, suspicious, inaccurate, or provide only partial information. Despite of knowing the benefits of reducing NRW, decades of effort have not delivered much improvement in India. Lack of support for comprehensive NRW management by 691788/2021/e-Governance Section 20/30 2 utility owners and chief executive officers makes it difficult to motivate utility staff and provide them with the means (funding, training, and technology) to successfully and sustainably reduce NRW. Hence, there is a need to develop a system or technology to trace and tackle non-revenue water and convert it into revenue water using digital methods. This will save water as well as increase profitability and improves the return on investment w.r.t water distribution networks.

Problem Statements: A large quantity of floating trash is finding its way into the urban drainage systems from where it is potentially able to travel via the urban drain, streams, rivers, lakes and estuaries until it eventually reaches the open sea. A prototype artificial intelligence enabled robotic trash boat can be developed which can harvest floating trash from urban drain. The trash boat can be operated online/remotely. Prerequisites: • Weight and type of harvested trash • Location, Geo-tagged Photograph, Video • Easy to operate Solution: • Develop an aquatic drone/ trash boat • Handled/ controlled by mobile app • Live operational monitoring on geo web portal like Bhuvan Ganga Geoportal https://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/governance/mowr_ganga.php

Web-based system for dissemination of flood forecasts was operationalized by CWC in 2014 with information being made available on near real time basis (Ref: https://ffs.tamcnhp.com/). In addition to this, CWC has partnered with Google to disseminate the flood warning through its Public Alert platform. An additional channel to reach out to the end beneficiaries is through deployment of real time messaging service of flood forecasts soon after their generation with opt-in option for end users as well as provision for blanket area specific messaging in affected areas. End beneficiaries can in turn help in crowd sourcing of information related to inundation with geo tagged as well as time stamped images and information related to water levels. Such crowd sourced data can help in ground truthing of inundation for known events of floods which will enable in future endeavours of generation of flood inundation forecasts and flood plain zonation.

Urban flooding is significantly different from rural flooding as urbanization leads to developed catchments, which increases the flood peaks from 1.8 to 8 times and flood volumes by up to 6 times. Consequently, flooding occurs very quickly due to faster flow times (in a matter of minutes). Urban areas are densely populated and people living in vulnerable areas suffer due to flooding, sometimes resulting in loss of life. It is not only the event of flooding but the secondary effect of exposure to infection also has its toll in terms of human suffering, loss of livelihood and, in extreme cases, loss of life.Increasing trend of urban flooding is a universal phenomenon and poses a great challenge to urban planners the world over. Predicting the extent of calamity requires lots of parameters like rainfall, vegetation etc. Improper disposal of solid waste, including domestic, commercial and industrial waste and dumping of construction debris into the drains also contributes significantly to reducing their capacities. It is imperative to take better operations and maintenance actions.The main objective of this problem is to help the city managers or urban residents in for predicting the impact of urban flooding and can help them to take preventive action.

Slums have posed a huge problem for development because they are by definition areas in which the inhabitants lack fundamental resources and capabilities such as adequate sanitation, improved water supply, durable housing or adequate living space. Many governments have tried to find solutions to the problem, and one of the proposed solutions is slum upgrading. Slum upgrading is essentially a strategy in which the infrastructure of a slum is improved, such as giving adequate water supply and sewage to the community. Additionally, because of the tenuous legal status of slum inhabitants, often strategies include the legalization of the right to the land on which slums are built.Slum improvement has been a challenge for the country. Poverty, unavailability of urban land for building affordable housing, paucity of data leads to rise in slums in the country. In order to make our country healthy, inclusive and prosperous a strong approach is needed for the redevelopment of slums. Technology can play a major role in meeting the shortcomings of the data, monitoring and controlling the spread of epidemic etc. and regularise the slum settlement.This problem aims for an innovative approach for the redevelopment of the slum areas in order to avoid growth of slums in future and a technical solution to monitor and control the growth of slums in present time.

India’s property tax collection is 0.2% of its gross Domestic Product (GDP), well below the proportion in other countries such as the US and Canada where property tax is 3-4% of the GDP. Among other factors for low property tax collection, India’s ULB’s, especially smaller municipalities and Nagar palika’s are constrained with the capacities to effectively administer a property tax.An innovative approach to property tax administration is needed to help bridge the resource gap in the revenue raising capacity of ULB’s. For small ULB’s that lack to participation to facilitate low cost and high cost revenue collection in the ULB’s and integrates with the state municipal tax collection platform is needed.

The second largest populated country in the world, India faces various hindrances to its development. Solid Waste Management is of critical concern and needs attention. Whereas many developed countries are searching for ready-made sustainable waste management solutions. The solid wastes have become a major consequence of development, modernization and urbanization. Solid waste includes useless, unwanted, discharged materials that is not liquid or gas. The solid waste affects the natural environment to a great extent and pose a serious threat as these materials remain in one particular place or a relatively longer period of time unless removed, burned or washed away. In this respect, solid waste has been identified as significant matter for sustainable development. Growth in population and change in lifestyle has led to an increase in solid waste generation. Both the residential and commercial waste are in solid or semi solid form. Safe and cost-effective solid waste management is a great challenge for the modern society. It is estimated that 40% of the waste remains uncollected.This research aims for a technical solution for the management of solid wastes by providing visibility on city sanitation, route planning for garbage collection, resource optimization, air quality measurements, visibility of bins in order to maximize the waste collection.

It’s hard to pinpoint the invention of the electric car to one inventor or country. Instead it was a series of breakthroughs -- from the battery to the electric motor -- in the 1800s that led to the first electric vehicle on the road. In the early part of the century, innovators in Hungary, the Netherlands and the United States -- including a blacksmith from Vermont -- began toying with the concept of a battery-powered vehicle and created some of the first small-scale electric cars. And while Robert Anderson, a British inventor, developed the first crude electric carriage around this same time, it wasn’t until the second half of the 19th century that French and English inventors built some of the first practical electric cars. Here in the U.S., the first successful electric car made its debut around 1890 thanks to William Morrison, a chemist who lived in Des Moines, Iowa. His six-passenger vehicle capable of a top speed of 14 miles per hour was little more than an electrified wagon, but it helped spark interest in electric vehicles.Under the EV rollout plan the power ministry is targeting 4 billion plus population cities under the EV policy initiative. The success of EV adoption hinges upon successful deployment of EV charging infrastructure. Location analysis for EV charging stations helps optimize utilisation and maximize benefits that include the number of EVs in the area and grid infrastructure. The core of the problem is demand and supply.The objective is to develop a sharing charging model to solve the location problem for EV charging stations.

According to the WHO, in 2012 ambient air pollution contributed to 6.7 % of all deaths worldwide. In particular, 16% of lung cancer deaths, 11% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease deaths, and more than 20% of ischaemic heart disease and stroke are associated with ambient fine particulate matter. The economic cost of the approximate 600 000 premature deaths and of the diseases caused by air pollution in the WHO European Region in 2010 has been estimated in Euro 1.5 trillion.People in Delhi/NCR are having their annual tryst with the deadly winter air pollution where toxic clouds of smog engulf this region every year around the winter months. Contributing to nearly 30% of winter air pollution in Delhi, stubble burning across the nearby states of Punjab, Haryana is attributed as one of the major factors for the existence of Air Pollution in the region during this period.The main objective is to suggest an unique approach to address the urban air pollution using Technology.

The journey of EVs started a long time ago. During the first half of the 19th century, the exploration of electrical automobiles started by several researchers of the United States, Netherlands, and Hungary. The researches lead to the invention of the first EV practical prototype by Robert Anderson.India has been a major importer of crude oil. In the year 2019-20 the import bill was around $100 billion which is a huge strain on the country’s exchequer. One possible solution to this is the augmented use of alternative fuels. Since the production of biofuels is abundance in India and it requires minimal infrastructural changes for large scale adoption, it can serve as a much easier solution to the issue. But the creation of supply chain for regular use of Biofuels is still in nascent stage.Emphasising on electric mobility suggest a proper way for the creation of supply chain for the consistent use of Biofuels.

Before the Covid-19 crisis, the public transport sector saw opportunities to explore novel approaches to boost ridership around the world. However, more people on the transport network presented issues such as overcrowding, pressure on the public transport infrastructure and the subsequent poor quality of service. Then, around late 2019 - early 2020, an outbreak of the Covid-19 virus was deemed a pandemic, forcing most countries into a complete lockdown for a few months. Imposing physical distancing on public transport vehicles is unrealistic in the long-term for obvious reasons. The urgent need to create safe spaces for both passengers and transport workers while restoring faith in mass transport has provided an exceptional incentive for our solution: Moving towards a different time schedule for some economic and social activities to distribute peak commute hours and better manage the demand in public transport networks.The current COVID situation has pulled people back to the personalized modes of transport which would lead to further worsening of traffic congestion issues along with the financial stress for the public transport companies for maintaining the regular operations. Stretching back the peak hours and maintaining higher frequencies during these stretched hours can help in reducing the crowd in the public transport. The main objective of this research is to provide an improvised solution to minimize the crowd in the public transport and managing peak load.

Though the COVID-19 pandemic is reported to have reduced air pollution and environmental-related noise and improved biodiversity and tourist sites, however, the impact of stay-at-home and preventive measures on waste management is alarming. Due to the stockpiling of gloves, gowns, masks and other protective clothing and equipment, there appears to be a waste emergency due to the unusual production of waste from both households and health facilities. Failure to properly manage the waste generated from health facilities and households may escalate the spread of COVID-19 via secondary transmission. The potential rampant dumping, open burning and incineration could affect air quality and health outcomes due to the exposure to toxins. The COVID pandemic has brought with it adversities with many dimensions, on such dimension is the improper and unscientific disposal of personal protection equipment such as masks, plastic body covers, face shields etc. This is putting an additional strain on the city authorities, who were already grappling with single use plastic menace. Thus, there exists a challenge of managing unusual waste sustainably using available waste facilities while reducing air pollution, preventing secondary viral transmission and mitigating potential health risk . Besides, there could be serious consequences for developing countries without standard waste management technologies and waste emergency policies to curb the pandemic.This research aims at providing a proper way for the disposal of COVID protection equipment in order to reduce its various impact on the environment.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, leading to the near-total closures of schools, early childhood education and care (ECEC) services, universities and colleges. Most governments decided to temporarily close educational institutions in an attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. New online programs have shifted the labour of education from schools to families and individuals, and consequently, people everywhere who relied on schools rather than computers and home life have had more difficulty accessing their education. The impact was more severe for disadvantaged children and their families, causing interrupted learning, compromised nutrition, childcare problems, and consequent economic cost to families who could not work. In response to school closures, UNESCO recommended the use of distance learning programmes open educational applications and platforms that schools and teachers can use to reach learners remotely and limit the disruption of education.Smart classrooms has been an extremely innovative idea in improving the ways of educating the newer generation. However, with the onset of COVID, the very premise of school education has gone for a toss. Many schools have come up with technological solutions for distance learning and several online education platforms have been offering plethora of courses at premium prices. Although, the affluent classes of the society may choose to opt from these options but the economically weaker section have nothing affordable for their children.The main objective of this research is to develop an effective way to provide education to the economically weaker sections of the country during these challenging times of COVID-19.

Public transportation systems include a variety of transit options such as buses, light rail, and subways. These systems are available to the general public, may require a fare, and run at scheduled times. The purpose of introducing or expanding public transportation is to increase access to and use of public transit while, at the same time, reducing motor vehicle miles driven and traffic congestion. Public transportation is one of the essential services operating during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. This pandemic and related restrictions led to major transit demand decline for many public transit systems.The (COVID-19) pandemic had a large impact on Public transport. Many countries advised that public transport should only be used when essential; passenger numbers fell drastically, and services were reduced. Provision of a reasonable service for the much smaller number of fare-paying passengers incurred large financial losses. Researchers investigate for safe ways of public transport during the COVID-19 pandemic. A study finds that mandatory face masks and social distancing can allow for relatively safe public transport. But still people fear to use the public transports.Students are expected to suggest certain unique ideas that can make the use of public transport more even during these challenging times.

Public spaces are key element of individual and social well-being, the places of a community’s collective life, expressions of the diversity of their common, natural and cultural richness and a foundation of their identity. Key obstacles to inclusive approaches to street vending management in cities are the perceptions and misconceptions of the role that street vendors play. Informed by and responding to the common set of arguments used to exclude street vendors.Street vendors may contribute to congestion and grime but so do pedestrians, vehicles, the general public – and city governments that fail to regulate traf?c and provide sanitation services. While informally traded food and drink can pose public health risks, vendors would welcome more hygienic working conditions to attract customers and to ensure the safety of their goods. Moreover, where public sanitation services are not available, vendors often clean their areas of operation. In many cities, street vendors self-monitor and self-manage their vending sites to reduce congestion, crime, grime, and public health risks. Even after all these things they have to compromise on the Urban design and face a lot of things.The main objective of this task is to help the street vendors to get included in the public space development without compromising on the urban designing.Students are expected to suggest more improvised and redefined solution for conserving and reusing the rain water and reduce the water demand at source.

It is nearly impossible to trace back to which civilization used the method of rainwater harvesting first, but evidence shows that the basic design of these systems often involved a large rock formed into a basin using clay and other rocks to seal it from leaking. And then, using different diversion tactics, water would be stored and used for drinking, washing, agriculture and more. There began to be issues with the historic way of collecting rain. As civilizations grew, the cisterns would become more and more contaminated. This lead to the spreading of diseases since the modern technology was not available to remove bacteria. As countries became more developed, centralized water utilities began to sprout and became the primary source for all water needs.The age of rainwater harvesting has not reached its peak. Many farms continued to use rainwater cisterns for feeding livestock. And as technology developed in water treatment abilities, people started to use rainwater in their homes as the primary source of water yet again. Though Rain water is a lifeline there are lack of effective approaches in the current set up to conserve ,store and re use the rain water and reduce water demand at source.The main objective of this task is to help the city managers to adopt the decentralized approach of waste water management.

"Centralized wastewater systems are the most widely applied in well-developed urban environments and the oldest approach to the solution of the problems associated with wastewater. They collect wastewater in large and bulk pipeline networks, also referred as sewerage which transport it at long distances to one or several treatment plants. Storm water can be collected in either combined sewers or in a separate storm water drains. The latter consists of two separate pipeline systems, one for the wastewater and one for the storm water. The treated effluent is disposed in different ways, most often discharged into natural water bodies. The treated effluent may also be used for beneficial purposes and in this case it is referred as reclaimed water. The main difference between decentralized and centralized systems is in the conveyance structure. In decentralized systems the treatment and disposal or reuse of the effluent is close to the source of generation. This results in a small conveyance network, in some cases limited only to one pipeline. The size of the network allows for applications of different conveyance methods, in addition to the well-known gravity sewers, such as pressurized sewers and vacuum sewers. The quantity of the effluent is low and is characterized by significant fluctuations.Across pan India Mega/Metro cities are maintaining the centralised sewerage treatment plants but most of the treatment plants could not attains its threshold limits always, either it is under or over loaded. In the dynamic growth of the cities, adding any newly developed area in sustainability the existing system is time consuming process. In locations with developed infrastructure, decentralized wastewater systems could be a viable alternative of the conventional centralized system, especially in cases of upgrading or retrofitting existing systems. Many different combinations and variations of hybrid systems are possible. The development of new treatment technologies allows for decentralized solutions, which are technically and aesthetically sound and acceptable.Sewerage blockage is one of the biggest challenges for the city managers in their day to day city operations.The main objective is to obtain effective solutions to overcome the above stated problem."

Sewage treatment(or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable for discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. Sewage contains waste water from households and businesses and possibly pre-treated Industrial waste water. There are a high number of sewage treatment processes to choose from. These can range from decentralized systems. (including on-site treatment systems) to large centralized systems involving a network of pipes and pump stations (called sewerage) which convey the sewage to a treatment plant.

"Problem/Current Situation: Marine environment is risky but livelihood for millions in our country. Fishermen with smaller boats are in significant numbers. These boats may overturn with adverse sea-state even at the smaller scale. While INCOIS provides Ocean State Forecast (OSF) for the seafaring community in general, the tolerance threshold for smaller boats may be different than larger boats or ships. Solution Needed: AI-ML may be utilized for automated identification/flagging of the region where there is a danger for small boat movement. INCOIS may provide OSF output data as sample to work on the coding. Reference Link: https://incois.gov.in"

"forts, INCOIS has developed SARAT (Search-And-Rescue-Aid-Tool) which makes use of various sea-state conditions (e.g. surface currents) to predict the drift of the lost personnel or asset, from a known point of origin. This tool, though useful, needs further improvement. Solution Needed: AI-ML may be used to improve the SARAT predictions by taking up case-studies and their outcomes. INCOIS may provide data on such case-studies/simulations/exercises to work on the coding related to better outputs. Reference Link: https://incois.gov.in"

"Problem/Current Situation: INCOIS is providing Marine Fishery Advisory Services to the fishermen. To evaluate it’s accuracy and in order to develop species-specific advisories it is necessary to collect the fish-catch information at the species level. While fisherfolk are supportive to these efforts, often species level catch reporting is having hinderances due to several reasons pertaining to manual efforts which results to low or erroneous reporting. Solution Needed: Hackathon teams may develop AI-ML based tool for image-based identification of fish-species found in the Indian seas. The images of fishes may be taken from online image searches. Similar tools are provided in reference links below. INCOIS will be able to use this for it’s fishermen feedback app, where fishermen need to take a photo of fishes caught and fish-identification will be done through code, minimizing the manual intervention.

"Indian and ASEAN countries are located on global oil takner oceanic superhighway. This route also has sensitive ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrass meadows in the vicinity. The environmental impact of an oil spill from a tanker ship is well documented. Oil Spills do not occur instataneously. There are events e.g. machinary malfunction that lead to such disasters. Before a spill occurs the crew might be well aware of the challenging situation and often spend time in avoiding such an event. During such times, the ship movement behavior may change from its normal pattern i.e. travelling at a predicted speed towards the port of call. At present, however there is no mechanism that can look into such patterns and predict a potential spill event to mitigate it in timely manner. While the tankers have AIS and the systems are 'on', only predictive models can help flag unusual behavior that need to be monitored. An open-source based solution (R, QGIS w/ GRASS) could consist of a model that feeds on the tanker AIS data. AI/ML/NN (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning / Neural Network) based system can assess the fresh AIS data with the historical data of a) the given ship, b) the given type of cargo menifested and c) the given region to flag any pattern (ship course, speed etc) that is unusual. Such mechanism will help the monitoring agencies by narrowing down the region to utilize SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data (satellite or drone based) and thus, can invoke faster mitigation response. Such a solution would cater to multiple of UN-SDGs and UNDOSSD objectives. SAR data from satellites such as Sentinnel, R codes from GitHub" Data set- SAR data from satellites such as Sentinnel, R codes from GitHub

"Emerging economies of Asia are looking to Solar power generation as key to their independance from imported energy resources. Even for fossil fuel-rich countries, climate sensitivity and targets are motivation to switch to alternate energy resources such as solar power. This ratio is poised to get further improve due to rollout of electric vehicles. Solar power genertaion capacity of a country depends on many factors. Since Asian countries such as India and ASEAN are within tropics, the day length is not a major concern for any part of the year. With governments facilitating rooftop solar model within the grids, gigentic areas for solar panel installation aren't mendatory. This leaves the air quality (haze) that determines what wavelengths and intensity of sunlight is received at ground level. Air pollutants have many sources, natural as well as anthropogenic. For both, the source need not to be near same place or even country. Massive duststorms or wildfires have been known to spread the haze across the continent. Due to solar power installation being at the base of it's exponential, it is not yet clear if and at what scale the air quality impacts on solar power generation. Solar insolation data and climatology (long-term averages) at global scale is available. Air quality data is available from satellite platforms such as NASA-MODIS series satellites on daily scale. This satellite data can be processed with open access software. A solution would look into available solar power generation data and correlate it with parameters such as Aerosol Optical Depth, to estimate the impact of AOD to solar power generation capacity. This can further be expressed in terms of electricity costing, to put a price tag that a plant has to pay due to bad air quality. Dataset- https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/"

"Problem/Current Situation: Many countries may not have robust marine fishery reporting mechanicms at place and rely on self-reporting from the fishermen. Even with fishermen willing to, this may not be suitable for country/EEZ level studies especially in Asian context where thousands of smaller boats operate rather than limited large corporate fishing vessels. It is important for researchers, policy makers and security agencies alike to know where these boats prefer to fish at what time of the year. Solution Needed: The data from AIS can be used but there are limited tools to import such data in interactive manner with the help of GIS. Further, many countries may have at harbor reporting mechanisms but not 'at-ground' reporting. Such tool can mitigate such a shortfall. Analysis of AIS may include clustering the data based on flag of country origin, repeated visit to the same location of fishing etc. Trend for an individual vessel may be pulled to map movement history, to be linked with reported catch later. There can be provision to import satellite data or to export the AIS analysis data into GIS formats (e.g. KML files) to be used in other GIS platforms.

"AIS is a useful system that helps avoiding ship collision and allows managers for fleet management especially for emergencies e.g. adverse sea conditions. Vessels keep the AIS beacons on in order to stay safe. However, sometime the vessels do not transmit. The reasons for this may be unknown. As much as the AIS activity data are important, the inactivity data can also be put to use to understand the possible reasons behind such behavior and if needed, respond in the appropriate manner. The interactive tool should be able to categorize the AIS inactivity episodes for a single vessel or multiple vessels in a selected region. Further, the data may be classified based on the ship behavior prior to the inactivity, as well as based on various inactivity parameters such as location, time and duration of inactivity. https://globalfishingwatch.org/"

"Marine fishery is very dynamic in nature. During active season landing of fish may be overwhalming for a manual monitoring. At the same time, taking que of the fish landing is important for researchers and administrators. Manual reporting is limited with sample size, often too small, that lead to high level of errors and prone to wrong extrapolation for meaningful fish stock assessment. This calls for automation to be only feasible method to overcome limitations of manual monitoring and reporting. The manual mode may rather be used to better train computer algorithms. A solution should focus on image recognition for species made available in the database. Over the time the database may get richer and thus, making the machine learning better. Such a system should envision cameras installed at the harbours and weigh-bridges, where species may be identified by AI and their propotion (in mixed catch) can be estimated, in order to report the captured biomass effectively and with minimal manual intervention. At present, the catch effort is often the weakest link in stock assessment model. Such harbor based systems may reduce the errors significantly. Another use is to integrate the cloud-based algorithms to help report catch through app(s) where all a fisherman need to do is to click the photo of the catch and enter the estimated catch weight."

"UIDAI has deployed a large number of Enrolment Stations across India to collect residents’ demographic details. Along with the resident demographic information, UIDAI captures supporting documents of the resident for Enrolment and Update purposes.

UIDAI intends to use Chabot platform to create a conversational kind of update interface for residents. Through this conversational platform, the resident would provide all the relevant demographic details, supporting documents and payment in an interactive manner. The solution should have the facility for multi-lingual interaction with the Residents. The conversational platform would emulate the update feature available in the myAadhaar (www.myaadhaar.uidai.in) platform of UIDAI.

"UIDAI has established Enrolment Centres across India for residents to enrol and Update. At these Enrolment Centres, residents do make nominal payment (amount fixed by UIDAI) for Updates (Demographics and Biometric). UIDAI has received a few complaints of overcharging by the Operators for the services rendered by them at the Enrolment Centres. This is required to be curbed through a Digital solution to collect the payment from the Residents. Digital payment-based solutions should be designed by the participating teams to ensure that there is no scope of overcharging by the operators. The solution must make use of Digital Payment technologies available, including AEPS for the collection of money from the Resident. The solution should have an exception mechanism to collect the Cash from the resident and it should be designed as the last resort and only for extreme exceptional cases. The solution must collect the money from the Operators in a digital manner and would transfer the amount to the Registrar/EA/Operator’s account at the end of the day or UIDAI defined interval.

The money is sent physically via cheques and drafts, but the process is not reliable and time-consuming.This project aims to minimize/remove the hesitance and issues with DBTs. It tends to explore the flow and technologies needed to improve the processes of digital scholarship payment."

"Understudies' input is normally accumulated in foundations of advanced education to assess the showing quality according to the understudies' viewpoint, utilizing surveys controlled toward the finish of the courses. These assessments are valuable to pinpoint the course qualities, distinguish areas of progress, and comprehend the elements that add agreeable to understudies. They are a significant component for working on the educating and learning processes. Be that as it may, there is little normalization in how this sort of criticism is gathered, examined, and utilized, and their dynamic use for working on the instructing and learning processes is low. Moreover, understudies are seldom inquired as to whether they consider that those viewpoints remembered for the surveys are truly significant; this data would permit relativizing understudies' assessments of educating. This examination proposes the utilization of significance execution investigation (IPA) along with an understudy's assessment of helping survey as an instrument for speakers to gather, break down, and decipher the information acquired from the understudy's input. This work shows how utilizing IPA speakers can acquire a visual portrayal of what showing credits are significant for their understudies, how significant each characteristic is, and the way that the teachers performed on each property according to their understudies' perspective. Understudies might become familiar with certain abilities at various speeds. Yet, their learning plans actually keep them on target to fulfill the guidelines for a secondary school certificate.
