problem statement 1

Description
The use of social media data in disaster and crisis management is increasing
rapidly. Particularly in connection to flooding events, water quality issues in
ponds/lakes, urban flooding, and drainage problem, etc., geo-referenced images
shared by citizens can provide situational awareness to emergency responders, as
well as assist with financial loss assessment, giving information that would
otherwise be very hard to collect through conventional sensors or remote sensing
products. Discussion about such events can also be found on various social media
platforms. Further, recent advances in computer vision and deep learning can
perhaps support the automated analysis of these data. In this problem, software/
algorithm to be developed focusing on ground-level images taken by humans.
Considering distinct datasets from different sources, the algorithm of the
developed mobile app should be able to categorize water-related problems at
different administrative. Further, the mobile app should serve as a valuable tool
for the administrators for planning and managing water-related problems.

public lighting in roads and public areas are lit even during daytime resulting in
the wastage of precious energy. The conventional method being employed is manual
switching on and off and in some places, there has been a shift towards timer
control for the on-off of public lighting. However, this has not been very
effective. System to be simulated by the participants Desired Outcome: Smart public
lighting systems, that are centrally controlled by IOT would facilitate dynamical
adjustment of illumination and provide a record of the consumption. This would
dramatically result in lower operating costs and would aid in low downtime of
failed lighting systems as the defective locations can be identified.

Cognitive retraining is a therapeutic strategy that seeks to improve or restore a
person's skills in the areas of paying attention, remembering, organizing,
reasoning and understanding, problem-solving, decision-making, and higher-level
cognitive abilities. Children with Developmental Disability have various cognitive
Disabilities. It is common for children with developmental disabilities to suffer
from various cognitive disabilities. Presently many therapists use manual cognitive
retraining and it is also difficult to monitor home-based training. Few centers
offer EEG Neuro-Feedback Training. The present proposal is the combined form of
Both EEG Neuro-feedback and home training. Clinicians can easily monitor the
changes based on the progress in- home training as well as changes in EEG profile
with a single software.

Improper waste disposal not only contributes to environmental pollution but also
affects the overall cleanliness and hygiene of a neighborhood. The challenge is to
develop innovative solutions that address the specific issue of neighbors disposing
of waste bags irresponsibly, causing litter and unsightly conditions. Participants
are encouraged to propose and implement ideas that tackle this challenge and
promote responsible waste management practices within the community. The solutions
should focus on: Awareness and Education: Develop educational campaigns or
initiatives to raise awareness among neighbors about the importance of proper waste
disposal. This can include distributing informative materials, organizing community
workshops, or leveraging digital platforms to educate residents about waste
management best practices. Behavioral Change: Design strategies to encourage
neighbors to adopt responsible waste disposal habits. This can involve implementing
incentive programs, creating friendly competitions, or establishing neighborhood
agreements that promote and reward responsible waste management behaviors.
Community Engagement: Foster a sense of community ownership by engaging residents
in waste management activities. This can involve organizing neighborhood clean-up
drives, establishing community composting initiatives, or facilitating recycling
programs to encourage active participation and responsibility among neighbors.
Infrastructure Improvement: Propose solutions that address the lack of proper waste
management infrastructure in the neighborhood. This can include advocating for the
installation of additional waste bins, implementing a neighborhood waste collection
system, or collaborating with local authorities to improve waste disposal
facilities. Technology and Innovation: Leverage technology to support responsible
waste management practices. This can involve developing mobile applications for
waste collection scheduling and reminders, implementing smart waste bins with
sensors and monitoring capabilities, or using blockchain technology to track and
incentivize proper waste disposal. By addressing these aspects, the proposed
solutions will contribute to overcoming the challenge of neighbors disposing of
waste bags irresponsibly and promoting a cleaner, more sustainable neighborhood.
The solutions should be practical, scalable, and feasible to implement within a
residential community, fostering positive behavioral changes and encouraging a
collective effort toward responsible waste management.

Jal Jeevan Mission was launched with the vision of providing drinking water in
adequate quantity of prescribed quality on regular and long-term basis to every
rural household. A comprehensive cost-effective technology is needed for the
assessment of groundwater recharge done by source sustainability technology which
is positively affecting the ground water-based source under consideration and
predicting the longevity of the drinking water source to serve at the design
discharge in the long-term considering the effect of drawl by the irrigation tube
well. The technology should focus on the following: a. Monitoring of data for
monitoring of drinking water source for a village. Generation of alerts in case of
rapid deterioration. b. Innovative cost-effective technology for Rain Water
Harvesting and Recharge. c. Innovative means to improve source sustainability. d.
Re-use of Grey Water: Utilize non-toxic wastewater from households(with/without
basic treatment) e. Accurate measurement of the capacity of the Aquifer and the
actual water demand. f. Citing correct locations for recharge and discharge of
ground water. B. Potential condition of Water Quality.

Right to education is key concern for government and at school level; drop out
ratio is high due to poverty and social, economic reasons. If government have drop
out student analysis on following different categories, it will be very useful in
framing different policies. 1. School wise 2. Area wise 3. Gender wise 4. Caste
wise 5. Age/standard wise Expected Output: Focused interventions on the high
dropout rates

It is well established that development towards a more sustainable society must
begin with education. When education is done right, it not only teaches people
about the science of climate change and inequality and the reasons we must take
action, it also engages, empowers and promotes a more environmentally friendly,
community-based way of life. ESG in higher education is one of least discussed
aspects of governance among administrators. With the recent energy and climate
crisis, administrators around the globe have realized the importance of sustainable
process. The three pillars of ESG are people, processes, and product. In our case,
people are the most important stakeholder in achieving our goal. Students from
campuses of Higher Education are not only woke about the climate-energy crises but
also are passionate for deigning a world of their future. Administrators on other
hand are aware of the rising cost of energy and are open to adopting energy
conservation and other aspects of ESG The objective of the problem statement
solution shall be to create a common platform for planning, development, execution,
and monitoring of ESG initiative. The initiatives may include adopting alternative
sources of energy, development of energy efficient campuses, adopting green
construction standards like GRIHA Prakriti and similar such initiatives. Another
objective of the problem statement solution is to generate and produce dynamic
dashboards which show targeted lacking areas as well as progress check for
currently undertaken projects. The overall objective of the solution should be
based on a collaborative effort between all the stakeholder for creating ESG
framework in Higher Education. If executed effectively the solution will not only
make a significance difference to the present scenario but also create a generation
of environmentally and socially aware citizens with in depth knowledge on ESG
issues. The solution should be in line with India's ambition of achieving its
targets under COP 21 of Paris Agreement. It should also incorporate the best
practice steps taken by governments like the International Solar Alliance. The
overall objective of the solution shall be to develop a common monitoring dashboard
for all ESG Initiatives taken by the state and predictive solution based on best
practices across the globe.

IoT based sensors can be used to deterrnine the Machine Run time, idle time and
utilisation and should project the same data in a dashboard to give status, Power
consumption and rcal time machine utilisation. Developing such solutions for MSMEs
like: (i) IoT for acoustic leak dctection, to be installed in hazardous and high
flammable zones. (ii) Developing IoT based smart agriculture to manage, improve
productivity and efficiency of small larms. Various parameters of soil type/health,
climatic conditions and irrigation management should be measured with simple
devices placed in the farm, data stored in the cloud to be accessed by the user at
any time and changes in the irrigation to be made according to the plant and needs
to maximize water usage, improve productivity, reduce labour etc. (iii) To monitor
and reduce water consumption during various processes (iv) To find out major causes
of machine breakdown (v) To give preventive maintenance updates in real time (e.g.
to assess when the motor heating too much, bearing vibration is high , etc)
