"Shock absorbing stretcher
Hema Pradhan, XI, Gangyap
The roads in rural areas are mostly uneven, poorly maintained and thus, patients in the ambulance face a lot of discomfort. Even in inter-city transportation, in many areas due to on-going repairs or road widening, the conditions are equally bad. To go to Yoksum area in Sikkim, average speed of a vehicle is generally less than 15- 20 km per hour, along with the jerks on the road. Hema suggested that a shockproof stretcher be designed so that patients don’t become worse off due to hardships in the transit. This suggestion has the potential of improving health care service in the remote areas even more so.
A fodder cutting machine that works over stony and uneven land
Yeshey Khando Lepcha, Gangyap
Harvesting fodder or grass on undulating patches of mountain slopes is quite difficult and also a bit hazardous. Yeshey suggested a grass-cutter and transporter, which can work on slopes and on any type of land-stony or uneven.
A vehicle that elevates during a flood situation
Tenzing Dandup Bhutiya, VII, Chongrong
Tenzing Dandup Bhutiya is a very creative boy from the local school. He had so many ideas that the shodhyatri IIMA students called him the ‘idea factory’. He thought of the problem of marooned commuters in cars in flood affected plains areas and came out with the idea of cars that could elevate through jack attached to all wheels in the wake of floods. It could move on stilt roots kind of elevation, something similar to Handiyo in Gujarat which can drive above the cotton fields.
Indicator for blind turns to alert vehicles coming from both sides Tenzing Dandup Bhutiya, Chongrong
Blind turnings usually have mirrors but with the passage of time they get dusty and lose visibility. Thus,
making it difficult for the driver to spot a vehicle coming from the opposite side. The scenario is common during the daytime as there is no indication of light. Tenzing suggested that a siren or signal should be triggered when the car approaches the turning.
