Compendium - 2 Prof Ashutosh Sharma Secretary Department of Science and Technology Government of India Preface “The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas” perfectly defines the INSPIRE Award MANAK (Million Minds Augmenting National Aspiration & Knowledge),a scheme being implemented by the Government of India through Department of Science & Technology (DST), under its flagship program “Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research ( INSPIRE)” which aims to attract young talent to explore science, evolve creativity and innovation among them and help them to pursue research career. The MANAK scheme lies at the very base of this programme, focussing on ideas from school children studying in classes 6 to 10, with a target to attract one million ideas every year. The scheme primarily aims to scout, reward, mentor and showcase these ideas and innovations having potential to address societal needs and national priorities. I am hopeful that this National Level Exhibition and Project Competition (NLEPC), being organized under the INSPIRE Award MANAK scheme, will give a chance to participants to exhibit/showcase their innovations to general public, experts and other fellow young innovators from the country.The NLEPC will also give them a chance to meet creative children from other states, understand and appreciate their innovative projects.This year’s NLEPC is particularly important, as it is being organized at IIT Delhi, one of the premier technology institutions of the countryand I believe that being at this institution itself will inspire and motivateall the participants. I welcome all the INSPIRE awardees, their teachers and guardians in this year’s National Level Exhibition and Project Competition at IIT Delhi during Feb 14-15, 2019 and wish them success. This compendium showcases brief summary of the innovative and creative ideas/projects of all the national level participants. This was made possible by the hard work and creativity of the students, with support from their teachers and schools authorities and the mentoring support provided by the premier institutions of the country. I am confident that this compendium will prove immensely useful for various stakeholders. I hope that all the INSPIRE Awardees will continue to be creative and innovative in all pursuits of their life. Best wishes to all young innovators, Ashutosh Sharma Dr. P S Goel Chairperson National Innovation Foundation-India Foreword Science, Technology and Innovations are key to development of the country. The best minds are attracted towards Engineering and Medicine and Science is considered as last option. Realising that basic sciences need special attention, Department of Science and Technology started a flagship scheme, the Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) to attract young minds towards science. Further, it is important that we bring the spirit of innovation in our children at very young age when they are at school level. It is a kind of cultural change that we need to bring when every youngster thinks of doing something new of his/her own. The INSPIRE MANAK (Million Minds Augmenting National Aspirations and Knowledge) Awards for the school children (Class 6-10) jointly executed by the Department of science and Technology, Govt of India and National Innovation Foundation-India has been created towards this goal. Same children when grow up will turn up as innovators and turn entrepreneurs through start-ups in millions. I am sure many students among INSPIRE Awardees will have brilliant ideas, which can be developed into products and then taken up as commercial ventures providing innovative solutions to the society. NIF will incubate the best innovative technologies and extend all support to young innovators. I the people will read the success stories of students’ ideas based commercial entities soon. My best wishes to all the INSPIRE Awardees with the hope that they will pursue a career in Science and Technology and bring many more laurels to the country.
