A major challenge in agriculture today is the loss of produce after harvest. In countries like India, small farmers often lose 20–40% of fruits and vegetables because they lack affordable cold storage. Without storage facilities, farmers are forced to sell their crops immediately at low prices, leading to reduced incomes and food waste. At the same time, food waste contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, especially methane. Traditional cold storage units are either too expensive, too far from villages, or dependent on unreliable grid power and polluting diesel generators.

The idea is to create solar-powered community cold storage units for rural farming communities. These decentralized facilities would run primarily on solar energy, with batteries and thermal ice banks for backup. This ensures continuous operation even during non-sunny hours. Farmers can store their produce locally, sell it at better prices, and reduce losses. Such a system not only addresses energy challenges but also supports food security and rural livelihoods.

There are clear gaps in current solutions. Large cold storage facilities exist, but they are located near urban markets, not in rural areas where the need is greatest. Diesel-powered alternatives are unsustainable due to high costs and pollution. Meanwhile, renewable energy adoption in agriculture has mostly focused on irrigation pumps, leaving post-harvest storage underdeveloped. This creates an opportunity for an innovative renewable solution tailored to small farmers.

The beneficiaries of this idea are multiple. Farmers gain higher incomes and stability by avoiding distress selling. Consumers benefit from fresher produce at more stable prices. Communities benefit through new jobs in managing and maintaining the units. Finally, the environment benefits by cutting food waste and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

This issue matters to me because food waste is a hidden yet massive contributor to climate change. At the same time, small farmers, who feed much of the world, often struggle to survive financially. Solving this problem with renewable energy provides both social and environmental impact, making it a powerful and meaningful solution.

From a technical perspective, the units would use solar panels, hybrid storage (batteries and ice banks), and IoT-based sensors to monitor conditions. A pay-per-use model makes it affordable, as farmers pay only for the space and time they use. The modular design ensures scalability as demand grows.

In conclusion, solar-powered community cold storage can transform rural agriculture by reducing waste, increasing farmer income, and cutting emissions. It is a sustainable solution that bridges critical gaps in both energy and agriculture.

The Issue
Exams always seem to a problem for us. One day you feel like there’s still time, and the next, you’re drowning in textbooks and messy notes. Some people have beautiful summaries ready, but most of us are left flipping through random pages, half-written notes, or rushing to borrow material at the last moment. It’s stressful, time-consuming, and honestly feels unfair—because so many useful notes and shortcuts stay with individuals instead of being shared.

The Solution: Pocket Notes Exchange App
Imagine if all those quick revision notes, formulas, and memory tricks were in one place. That’s what the Pocket Notes Exchange App is about. It’s a student-friendly platform where we upload our own notes and access notes from others. To keep it balanced, you earn credits by sharing your notes, and you spend those credits to unlock someone else’s. It’s simple, fair, and built on the idea that learning is easier when we do it together.

Key Features
1.Snap a pic of your notes or upload them digitally.
2.Search by subject, topic, or semester—no more guessing.
3.Earn credits for sharing, spend them to unlock notes.
4.Upvote the most helpful notes so the best ones stand out.
5.A special “exam eve” mode with the most popular last-minute notes.

Every day, we discard things without even thinking — a plastic bottle, last night's dinner, an old receipt. Most of it ends up one jumbled mess, making recycling or use almost impossible. That little act of "just getting rid of it" quietly harms our planet. Landfills are overflowing, the air is filled with pollution, and resources that could have been saved are lost forever.

And now imagine if the bin itself could guide you — discreetly pointing to where that bottle, peel, or paper should go. That is what Smart Waste Segregation Bins are all about. With sensors and minimal cues, they eliminate the ambiguity and bother of waste segregation. No guesswork anymore, no mistakes — just a natural and effortless process.

The slogan "Sort Smart, Save Earth" isn't just snappy, it's a reminder that it all adds up. Sorting smart isn't just cleaning up your home or your office — it's providing a second chance for recyclables, composting food waste, and reducing pressure on landfill space that is overcrowded.

For an on-the-go commuter, parent, or child, these containers allow it to be easy to do the right thing. And collectively, these little choices add up to something big — a cleaner city, cleaner air, and a greener future.

Sorting clever is caring. Saving the Earth is sharing. Together, they create a future in which waste is not a problem, but an opportunity to live better.

Many people have their medical history scattered across prescriptions, reports, and scans from different clinics. This makes it hard to keep track, and sometimes doctors don’t get the full picture of a patient’s health.

My idea is to create a secure digital medical record holder where all your past checkups, prescriptions, scans, and medications are stored in one place. The records are accessible only to you, and you can share them with a doctor when needed. For example, when you visit a doctor, you simply provide your name and a unique code/password, and they can access your medical history for that visit.After the consultation, the doctor can directly add new prescriptions and medications into the patient’s account, keeping everything updated.

This ensures:

Confidentiality: Only you and the doctor you allow can see your records.

Convenience: No need to carry files or remember past treatments.

Better Care: Doctors get complete, accurate history before giving advice.

Over time, this system can help avoid repeated tests, track long-term health trends, and give patients more control over their own medical data.

This is useful for all age groups — children, adults, and the elderly — since everyone can benefit from having their complete medical history in one safe, accessible place.

The problem

Accessibility remains a major challenge for millions of people with disabilities. Existing navigation tools, while useful for routes and traffic conditions, often fail to provide accurate and detailed information about accessibility features. Critical details such as the presence of wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, or safe crossing points are rarely highlighted. This lack of information forces many individuals to face unnecessary barriers in their daily travel, limiting both independence and participation in public life.

The proposed solution: a community driven accessibility map

To address this gap, I thought of a crowdsourced accessibility map, a platform where users can update real time accessibility information about public spaces. Through a simple mobile interface, individuals could tag locations with key details like “wheelchair accessible,” “elevator available,” or “braille signage present.” Integration with AI could further enhance the system by analyzing uploaded photos for accessibility cues and automatically flagging outdated information for review.

Who benefits from it?

The primary beneficiaries would be people with disabilities, who would gain greater independence and confidence in navigating public spaces. Businesses and city planners would also benefit by receiving direct feedback on accessibility gaps, helping them comply with regulations, improve services, and strengthen community trust. On a broader scale, society as a whole would become more aware of accessibility needs, fostering empathy, inclusivity, and shared responsibility.

Why does it matter?

This problem matters because accessibility is not a luxury but a fundamental right. Too often, the absence of information is as much a barrier as the absence of infrastructure itself. By empowering communities to share knowledge collectively, this platform bridges the gap between physical limitations and digital innovation, creating cities that are truly open to everyone.

GURU-VIDYARTHI

Bridging Teachers and Students

"Where Teachers Teach Less Alone, and Students Learn More Together"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In today’s education system, teachers and professors often find themselves stretched far beyond their regular working hours. After long, demanding days in classrooms, they still spend hours creating PowerPoint presentations, compiling study material, and preparing for their next class. While teaching itself is a noble and rewarding profession, the behind-the-scenes efforts, often unseen, can lead to exhaustion and leave little room for teachers to focus on their personal lives.

On the other hand, students live in an age of digital fluency. They are quick to adapt to design tools, interactive formats, and modern ways of presenting information. Yet, their role in the classroom is often limited to being passive recipients of knowledge. They rarely get opportunities to actively participate in creating study material, despite their creative potential and fresh perspectives. This disconnect between teachers struggling with monotonous workloads and students seeking more engaging learning methods highlights a gap in the education ecosystem.

This is where Guru-Vidyarthi steps in. The platform reimagines the traditional teacher-student relationship by introducing a simple yet powerful idea: collaboration. Teachers can post requests for assistance, whether it is making a chapter-based PPT, a set of quizzes, or summary notes, and students can volunteer to create these resources. In doing so, Guru-Vidyarthi does more than just save teachers’ time. It empowers students to take ownership of learning by creating content, encourages innovation in classrooms, fosters an intergenerational exchange of knowledge, and builds stronger teacher–student bonding.

For teachers, Guru-Vidyarthi is a helping hand, lightening their workload while giving them access to engaging and student-friendly materials. For students, it transforms learning into an active process, strengthening subject understanding while building valuable skills in research, communication, and presentation design. For schools and universities, it becomes a community-driven solution to enhance classroom quality and make pedagogy more relevant for today’s learners.

The beauty of Guru-Vidyarthi lies in its simplicity. It does not require big infrastructure modifications, just a willingness to collaborate. Yet, the impact is profound: reduced teacher burnout, improved student engagement, and stronger bonds between gurus and vidyarthis.

As a platform, Guru-Vidyarthi is also designed to be sustainable and profitable. With institutional subscriptions, premium features for teachers, and certification opportunities for students, it offers multiple avenues for growth. By bridging a seemingly simple issue teachers needing an extra hand with material preparation, it addresses a much larger need in the education ecosystem: the need for meaningful collaboration that benefits both sides.

Guru-Vidyarthi is not just a platform. It is a community to reimagine the way learning happens by making education less of a one-way street and more of a shared journey.

In Hyderabad, our street dogs face a daily struggle for survival. Our current approach to their welfare is often a guessing game, driven by a lack of real data. We see the aggression, the suffering, and the overpopulation, but we've been tackling it with our hands tied.

Paw-Print is here to change that. We want to develop a small, smart device ,a motion-sensor camera attached to a humane gravity food and water feeder. We'll place them strategically in communities to capture crucial data on dog populations, their movements, and even their family lines with the help of local governments, NGOs and communities.

The Problem:

1. Lack of Accurate Data Regarding the population and other factors related to dogs
2. Inbreeding and Genetic Issues which are one of the main causes of aggression in stray dogs which go hand in hand with environmental factors
3. Without a clear understanding of population hotspots, migration routes, and dog-specific needs, existing animal welfare efforts are often a "shot in the dark," leading to waste and leaving countless dogs unassisted.

Our MVP Solution:

The "Paw-Print" Smart Feeder System Our MVP is a discreet, weatherproof device to be deployed in targeted localities. Each unit combines:

• Automated Food and Water Dispensing
• Motion-Sensor Camera which uses AI to track and detect the dogs and counts the population
• Geotags which helps in gathering the data at each data point and transmits it to our central database in real time.

Technical Information:

Our Device Contains :

Hardware components:

1. Camera: A low-power, high-resolution camera with an infrared (IR) night vision sensor to capture data 24/7. An IR filter is crucial for accurate daytime color and a clear night-time picture.
2. Processor: A NVIDIA Jetson Nano processor, chosen for its ability to run AI models on the edge, meaning data is processed locally before being sent, saving bandwidth and power.
3. Power Supply: Solar powered and rechargeable battery to store the power and use it during cloudy days
4. Gravity Feeder: Food and Water feeder which needs to be refilled by the volunteers over a period of time
5. Enclosure: A robust, tamper-proof, and waterproof casing to protect the electronics from the elements and from curious animals.

AI Components:

The core of this idea lies in the AI model's ability to identify individual dogs. This requires a multi-stage approach:

1. The first layer is Object detection model (YOLO orSSD) to detect and differentiate other things and animals from dogs
2. Reidentification Model is key layer to prevent recounting of the dogs. Thismodel will analyze the detected dog's image, focusing on unique features like fur color, patterns, size, and shape. It then generates a unique "feature vector" for that dog. When a new image of a dog is captured, the model compares its feature vector to all existing vectors in the database. If there's a match above a certain confidence threshold, it's identified as the same dog. If not, it's logged as a new dog.
3. Data Labeling of dogs. To train this model, we will need a large, labeled dataset of street dog images, a key challenge for this idea. To encounter this problem we can start with publicly available datasets and then collect and label our own data from the pilot project.

The data collected will be invaluable for:

• This Data is then used to create the appropriate number of shelters across the city where they are provided with basic amenities, health care and neutered when needed.
• Creating a real-time, high-density map of dog populations across the city, identifying hotspots and density changes, Breeding seasons for dogs , Movement and Migration tracking of the dogs and hierarchy structure of the dogs
• This Data will be used to create a Pedigree chart and Genetic analysis. Our AI will analyze unique markings, fur patterns, and other features to differentiate individual dogs, allowing us to track family lines and identify areas with high rates of inbreeding.

Conclusion:

This isn't just about counting dogs. It's about giving them a voice. The data we collect will allow us to see their struggles and needs with unprecedented clarity. By working with local government and community leaders, we will transform guesswork into a strategic, compassionate plan.

Paw-Print's mission is simple: to create a foundation of knowledge that will help us build a future where every street dog in Hyderabad is seen, cared for, and has a safe place to call home.

Problem statement:
In India, nearly 30–40% of crops are lost every year due to pests, diseases, and unpredictable weather. Small and mid-scale farmers are the most affected, as they lack access to real-time detection tools and often depend on middlemen who reduce their earnings. These challenges collectively result in ₹92,000+ crore losses annually in the agriculture sector, severely impacting farmer livelihoods and threatening national food security.

Affordable and Reliable Community Hybrid Microgrids

The biggest challenge in the power sector is providing affordable and reliable power to off-grid communities. Access to energy in the majority of rural and semi-urban areas is restricted owing to some fundamental issues:

Existing Issues:

Increased cost of grid extension → Extending centralized grids to rural communities is slow, costly, and in many cases impossible.

Overreliance on single-source renewables → The majority of projects are based solely on solar, which renders supply intermittent.

Costly storage devices → Lithium batteries are expensive and short-lived, increasing the cost of renewable technologies.

Energy poverty persists → Millions of households continue to be without permanent electricity access, restricting education, healthcare, and economic development.

Proposed Solution:

My plan is to create Community Hybrid Microgrids that integrate various renewable sources—day sunlight, night wind, and bioenergy from farm waste as a reserve. Rather than relying solely on expensive batteries, the microgrids would employ cheap storage technologies such as gravity storage (moving weights or pumping water up a hill) and second-life batteries from retired EVs. This provides energy around the clock in a cost-effective manner.
Why This is Different:

The shortcoming of current solutions is that nearly all renewable energy projects are single-source or based heavily on costly storage systems. By combining multiple energy sources with low-cost storage, this idea presents a sustainable, scalable, and community-based model.
Who Benefits?

Households → constant lighting, fans, and telephone charging.

Schools & healthcare centers → constant power for education and healthcare requirements.

Farmers → additional income through provision of crop waste to be used for bioenergy.

Communities → lower bills, clean energy, and increased independence.

This matters to me because I think that clean, cheap, and reliable energy is the cornerstone of equality and progress. With hybrid microgrids, communities can step toward a future where clean energy is in reach for everyone.

Re-Mind: The Supply tracker and reminder app

In today’s busy world, people often struggle to keep track of basic household supplies such as- groceries, toiletries or even fuel for vehicles. This causes last minute stress and inconvenient grocery-runs. As a solution to this modern-day problem, I present to you – Re-mind: The supply tracker and reminder app.

How it works:

• Input data- users enter the items purchased/bills anytime during the month.
• Groupwise segregation- makes calculations based on which group a user belongs to (eg- student, homemaker, small business).
• Track usage- based on initial input of the items consumed, an ai model makes an estimate of the longevity of supplies.
• Periodic reminders- the app tracks usage over time and gives an estimated reminder to restock supplies.
• Enables reordering- provides already existing sources to reorder supplies based on the bills provided.

Key Features

• Multi-Category Tracking – Monitors groceries, toiletries, fuel, and other essentials in one app.
• Usage Analytics – Learns weekly/monthly consumption patterns for smarter predictions.
• Categorized modes- Helps users according to their requirements (student,
• Smart Reminders – Notifies users before items run out, customizable by preference.
• Expense Insights – Dashboard showing monthly spending and usage trends.
• Easy Reordering – Directly connect to local shops or delivery apps for quick restock.

Gap in the market

70% of households rely on memory or manual lists, causing shortages or waste. Grocery apps enable buying, but none predict usage across multiple categories. A unified, predictive tracker fills this gap, combining analytics, reminders, and reordering into one solution.

Who does it help?

It benefits households, students, professionals, and small businesses by preventing shortages, reducing waste, saving time, and ensuring timely restocking.

Why this problem matters to me?

As a college student living in hostel, I often forget about my stock of supplies- namely toiletries and eatables, thus this tracker would help me manage my supplies and basic monthly expenses.

CONCLUSION

DecoSnap is more than just an app; it’s a bridge between imagination and reality. By combining creativity, shopping convenience, and professional support, it gives everyone the power to create beautiful spaces that reflect their personality and fit their budget.

Most existing Rubik’s Cube apps only provide tutorials or timers, but they don’t actively help solvers improve their efficiency.Cubalyze, is a platform designed to bridge that gap, offering both casual cubers and professional speedsolvers a smarter way to practice.

The app would analyze solve paths by letting users input scrambles manually. Instead of only recording time, Cubalyze would break down every step—detecting missed opportunities such as an easier X-cross, optimal F2L pairings, or advanced cases like ZBLL. Using AI, it then suggests personalized improvements based on the solver’s method, whether CFOP, Roux, ZZ, or a hybrid style.

Unlike current tools, Cubalyze would support multiple puzzles, including 2×2, 4×4, Megaminx, Pyraminx, etc. Users could easily input the scramble of their puzzle, and the solver would generate efficient algorithms, guiding them through the solution. Additionally, cubers can post their own solved solutions, and Cubalyze will analyze them, highlighting mistakes and suggesting better algorithms or approaches to solve more efficiently.

For speedcubers, Cubalyze would feature a customizable training mode: drilling last-layer cases, suggesting which algorithm sets to learn (like COLL or WV), and tracking not just times but also solution efficiency. It would also highlight the balance between TPS (turns per second) and move efficiency. On top of that, it would suggest the correct finger tricks for each algorithm, ensuring cubers can execute them with both speed and ergonomics. For beginners, it offers a smooth learning curve from simple layer-by-layer methods to advanced speedcubing techniques.

The gap in the market is clear: timers and tutorials exist, but there is no comprehensive tool that analyzes solves, supports different puzzles, and trains efficiency in a user-friendly way.

This idea matters to me because as a cuber, I know how frustrating it is to miss an efficient solve path or spend hours searching for algorithms. A platform that combines analysis, guidance, and versatility using AI would make cubing faster, smarter, and more fun for everyone.

1. Problem Statement

Hunger and food waste are two of the world's biggest problems. Large quantities of edible food are thrown away daily by homes, canteens, hostels, weddings, and restaurants. At the same time, millions of people struggle to find even one healthy meal a day, particularly those who are homeless, poor children in orphanages, and residents of low-income neighbourhoods.
According to UN estimates, over 800 million people go hungry and one-third of the food produced worldwide is wasted. This similarity between excess food and food insecurity emphasizes how urgently a clever, long-term solution is needed.

2. The Gap in Solutions Right

• 
  Not knowing: A lot of people don't know how or where to give away extra food.
  • Poor coordination: Nonprofits have trouble getting things to the right places on time and picking them up.
  • Concerns about food safety: If the right inspections aren't done, food that has been given away could go bad before it gets to the people who need it.
  • No central system: The current solutions are scattered and lack a single, easy-to-use platform that would allow NGOs and donors to talk to each other in real time.

3. Solution: Food Connect

Food Connect is a mobile + web platform that acts as a bridge between food donors and NGOs/orphanages.

Key Features:

• Donor Portal – Restaurants, caterers, hostels, and households can register and list surplus food instantly.
• Real-Time Notifications – NGOs and volunteers get instant alerts about nearby donations.
• Location Tracking – GPS-based matching ensures food reaches the closest NGO quickly.
• Food Safety Guidelines – Donors are guided on packaging and time-sensitive pickup windows.
• Volunteer Network – Students and community volunteers help transport food when NGOs cannot.

4. Who Benefits

• Homeless people & orphanages: receive free, nutritious meals.
• Donors (restaurants, households, event managers): reduce waste, disposal costs, and boost social goodwill.
• NGOs: save resources and distribute food more efficiently.

5. Why this problem matters to me

I see a lot restaurants  face with lot of leftover food at their restaurants  so we can connect through them with food connect and then can get the food to the needy and also whenever there is a party in our community or in my relatives house I see a lot of food being leftover and untouched, usually people throw it and waste that food which triggers my anger so from one party I said to my dad to donate the food to the homeless people or orphanages and that gave me an idea to create an app which connects NGOs, Orphanage and the homeless people to feed them.

SmartCampus Hub: Tackling Waste and Hunger with One App

The Problem

Two everyday struggles every student knows too well:

Waste: At the end of each semester, piles of books, clothes, electronics, and even furniture end up discarded.

Late-Night Hunger: Canteens close early, but study sessions stretch past midnight. Students either go hungry or settle for unhealthy quick fixes.

Individually, these issues look small. But across campus, they lead to wasted resources, wasted money, and wasted energy.

The Solution: SmartCampus Hub

A two-in-one platform designed to make campus life more sustainable, affordable, and student-friendly.

1️⃣ Circular Economy Zone

Students can swap, donate, or resell textbooks, clothes, electronics, and furniture.

Verified student profiles ensure safe, trust-based exchanges.

Promotes reuse, reduces waste, and saves money.

2️⃣ Dorm Snack Exchange

Students list extra snacks (noodles, chips, biscuits, drinks) on the app.

Peers in the same dorm can request/exchange them during late-night study hours.

Turns everyday dorm extras into a mini midnight economy.

Real-Life Use Cases

A senior resells last semester’s textbooks at half-price → juniors save money.

A student donates extra clothes → another student benefits without spending.

Hungry at midnight? Trade a pack of chips for a cold drink from your neighbor.
