Transcending Technological Boundaries towards. TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH-GYTI AWARD |
|
|
| Abstract |
"Solving the unmet needs of the society is a challenge that has to permeate every layer of educational ecosystem. GYTI Awards primarily represent one layer which is the higher education with occasional exceptions. This year we have included a schoolgirl who is receiving an Appreciation for developing a simple non-invasive low-cost method for assessing the risk of oral pre-cancerous lesions and oral squamous cell carcinoma in chronic smokers. Nikhya Shamsher is an exceptional schoolgirl getting this distinction. Hopefully, in future we’ll have a separate programme to identify hundreds of such students all over the country. Attracting most curious and compassionate minds to the life sciences in particular biotechnological research is an important goal of our country. Most of the awards, like in the previous years, have gone to the elite institutions with just one exception. In the appreciation category, there are a few more-smaller colleges. But this year the number of less renowned institutions making to the award or appreciation category has come down drastically. This is a pointer that we cannot ignore. The numbers of entries have come down but the quality of entries has gone up. Looking at the results of various years, many students apparently hesitate to apply. We have to make invigorated efforts to bring more and more applications from Tier 2 and Tier 3 colleges so that talent from such institutions does not remain unrecognised. At the same time, the GYTI Awardees must visit such colleges and share their journey of research to inspire other students to work harder and raise the bar for the quality of research. Every awardee or those who are appreciated will hopefully connect with some schools, particularly government school where children from poor family predominantly study as well to motivate young children to pursue careers in biotechnology and allied life science disciplines.
The role of bio-economy is going to becom every central in time to come and we are not getting too many applications from young researchers who are developing biomaterials for various applications. If India has to achieve the goal of establishing a circular economy then the role of biomaterials and repurposing technologies will be important. Posing medium to long term problems to students for a sustainable future happens today only at the level of individual faculty or sometimes through popular discourse. By highlighting the critical situation about water, the Prime Minister has drawn the attention of the country about conservation or augmentation and recycling of water. There are obvious implications of this concern for the research agenda. The technological innovations are needed which will reduce water consumption in industry, agriculture, construction and other sectors, reduce the need for water by developing new methods and materials and find affordable ways of reporting the wastewater for more efficient and effective use" |

"Under a vibrant partnership between SRISTI (Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable
Technologies and Institutions) since 2015, fifteen students from life science background are selected every year for BIRAC-SRISTI GYTI awards, henceforth, SITARE-GYTI awards of Rs 15 lakh each for two years. In addition, students from other engineering/ technological fields are also selected for similar SRISTI-GYTI awards without any monetary components. A rigorous review process is pursued with the help of eminent professors and scientists in respective fields. In other disciplines, six GYTI Awards were conferred while twenty-three projects were presented appreciation awards. Awards were given away by the Chief Guest, Honourable
Vice President of India Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday, July 06, 2019, at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi., while appreciation awards were given away by Guest of Honour Dr. Harsh Vardhan Union Minister, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Science and Technology & Earth Sciences. Dr. Renu Swarup, Secretary - DBT, Dr. RA Mashelkar (Former Chairperson NIF and Former DG CSIR and Chair, SRISTI board) and Prof Anil Gupta (Founder, Honey Bee Network, SRISTI, NIF, GIAN & Hon. Secretary GIAN) were also present at the ceremony as special dignitaries.
The GYTI 2019 awardees include student innovators pursuing state-of-the-art scientific inventions, socially relevant discoveries, and frugal manufacturing invention. While the majority of these students are from premium institutes like IIT’s, IISc, JNU, etc., but a few are from smaller and less renowned public and private institutions also. GYTI Awards appreciate the participation of every smaller and less recognized public and private institution, we encourage the wider participation from every corner and lesser-known institutions, areas, and fields to reflect the power of diversity of thoughts, ideas, and imagination because every individual is blessed with a brain that preserves its individuality, its richness that cannot be bounded tby any institutions, and every brain can think and produce an idea that has the potential to ease the burden of the society. Therefore, we encourage and support students to apply for the GYTI Award (freely download previous GYTI award books http://gyti.techpedia. in/downloads). For, SITARE- GYTI awards in life sciences 2020, the applications have to be submitted at BIRAC site after Oct 2, 2020. For the remaining awards, the applications can be submitted at gyti.techpedia.in site. This year the presence of the less renowned institutions in the appreciation category has gown-down but the quality of the entries has upgraded to a new level.
SRISTI looks forward to continuing our work with the support of BIRAC, DBT, and other stakeholders, and continue this journey of GYTI Awards to contribute significantly towards meeting technological and entrepreneurial needs of the society.

Pneumatic damping prosthetic leg for above-knee amputees- Muhammed Janish U, Abhijith A, MES College of Engineering (Kuttippuram), Guide: Prof. Padmakumar K. Designed a cost-effective prosthetic leg for above-knee amputees. Currently, the majority of amputees in India depend on functionally low mechanical legs like Uniaxial knee, ReMotion knee, Jaipur limb, etc. The force sensor at the foot detects the pressure applied by the amputee and adjusts the damping resistance at the knee which enables the proposed device to lock the knee joint at any angle and position correspondingly so the amputee can transfer the load to the ground even in a bent position of the leg. Compressed air inside the pistons absorb shock during the stance phase of walking and provide walking assistance during the starting of the swing phase of walking and all these applications draw less energy.
