All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
IDP @ Literati 2010, experience the applied engineering at its best, with challenging real life industrial problems seeking a viable solution and putting your core fundamentals to ultimate test. Forming a link between academia and industry, this event touches almost every aspect of engineering study- from depth of scientific thought to feasibility of your solution. The problem statements are modeled on a current industry trend and the participants are expected to provide comprehensive executable solutions.
This time Industry Defined Problem is destined to be bigger than ever before, so gear up folks!!! tantalise your brains and come up with an innovative solution for the IDP with lots of prizes awaiting you……

Those who are not selected please don’t get disappointed. The constraints in the number of entries allowed us to select only these papers.
Problem 1:
CAN YOU THINK BEYOND ……..???
It is common knowledge that India faces a severe electricity crunch. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that power deficit has been one of the dampening factors in the Indian growth story. India’s power deficit is about 14 percent during peak hours.
According to a McKinsey study ‘Powering India: The Road to 2017’, if India is to grow at 8 percent for the next ten years, its power requirement may rise from 120 GW to 315 to 335 GW by 2017, requiring an investment of $600 billion on adding the required capacity.
So while on one hand India is developing new and enhancing existing traditional power sources, at the same time it is also laying emphasis on non-conventional sources such as solar and wind power. But can you think beyond these traditional non-conventional sources??
With the demand for energy skyrocketing, several countries are showing interest in new energy sources. Can you come up with something which can prove to be a breakthrough? Be it tidal energy, geothermal energy or bio-fuels.
Look for best possible location anywhere in India to setup power utilization.
Choose your location in terms of feasibility, equipment requirements, energy it can contribute and future prospects.
Provide the basic abstract depicting your work.
Problem 2:
Total population of India will exceed 1.3 billion in 2020. Scarcity of potable water is one of the major issues relating to the future. In country like ours, rivers are major contributors. More than 50% of water resources are located in various tributaries of these river systems. But unfortunately along with the increasing population there are problems which are adding to the lot.
India's fourteen major, 55 minor and several hundred small rivers receive millions of litres of sewage, industrial and agricultural wastes. Most of these rivers have been degraded to sewage flowing drains. There are serious water quality problems in the towns and villages using these rivers as a source of their water. The IDP, Team literati brings you the opportunity to bring your ideas and innovation to serve the nation in this regard. Choose a relevant river site in India and identify the problems related to that particular river. Come up with a solution for restoration of water facilities.
The solution should be feasible keeping the following points in mind:
• Technical feasibility
• Economical feasibility
• Social feasibility
“The government has spent over Rs.8 billion in the last three years to clean up many Indian rivers, but major rivers like the Ganga and the Yamuna continue to flow dirty” – News
You might have to look into it!!!!!
1. The date and timings for the final ppt are 31st JAN, 2010, 9:00 AM sharp at Senate Hall of the College.
2. Two hard copies and a soft copy of the detailed report to be submitted to me positively by 5 PM on the 30th JAN. Soft copies are to be mailed to himanshu.nitkkr@gmail.com
3. The ppt will be of duration 10+2 mins. Exceeding time limit is not permitted & will result in the loss of marks.
4. Be particular about your proposed solution in terms of location, input and the output.
5. A cost analysis and the design effectiveness is expected. You should convince the judges that design's usefulness can outweigh the cost.
