"e-IDEATHON"

sponsered byTEQIP - III

Agri-HACKS is an intercollege

technical ideation competition

which is firmly based on the

agricultural technical problem

statements. Its main aim is to solve

some of the current agricultural

problems through technologies and

bring forward all the enthusiastic

students to come forward and show

up their technical potential. This is

an ideation competiton which

comes forward to just getting the

possible idea of the problems not

the complete prototype unlike,

Hackathons.

PRIZES:

1st prize : ₹ 5000

2nd prize : ₹ 3000

3rd prize : ₹ 1000

PROBLEM #4In tea gardens, sprinkler irrigation systems areused for irrigation purposes.While drip irrigation issupposed to be the most efficient formof irrigation.Sprinkler irrigation gives the benefit ofeconomically-viable top layer oftea  leaves,but  when it comesto  yield,drip  irrigation always gives anadded  advantage.We  are looking for  a  integratedirrigation system comprising of both sprinkler anddrip irrigation systems in order to increase theproductivity of tea leaves and enhancing itseconomic value too.

PROBLEM #5GHG emissions from intermittentflooding in paddy  fields,amount  to 10-20% of green house gases like methanein the atmosphere. As methane is a chiefconstituent of biogas, hence we arelooking for technological intervention toconvert methane from agricultural fieldwaters into usable forms.

PROBLEM #1We are looking for solution toestimate soil fertility status on realtime basis and to give advisory onfertilizer and compost usage. This willhelp in better planning for fertilizerapplication in crops and maintain soilfertility status. The solution isexpected to (1) provide help to farmerfor getting soil fertility status on realtime basis, when needed. This caninclude actual value of differentparameters' estimating soil fertilityand overall status. (2) provide advisoryon fertilizer and compost usage tofarmer, periodically. This should bebased on soil fertility status.

PROBLEM #2Rural women play a significant roleinside the houses as well as onfarms along with animal husbandrywork. This triple burden has madethe life of rural women especially inhilly areas miserable & full ofdrudgery. The main activities whichsignificantly increase theirdrudgery level in hilly rural areasare - Farm: Farm activities includingharvesting, Weeding & hoeing, etc.Home: Cooking & collection of fueland fodder. Animal husbandry andallied activities. We require sometechnological interventions in orderto reduce drudgery of women.

PROBLEM #3Food is essential for nourishmentand sustenance of life.Adulteration of food cheats theconsumer and can pose a seriousrisk to health. Food is adulteratedif its quality is lowered or affectedby the addition of substanceswhich are injurious to health or bythe removal of substances that arenutritious. The challenge is lookingfor technological solutions to givethe consumer an opportunity todetect common adulterants inconsumer food.

RULES:1) 1-3 participants per team is allowed2) Participants have to submit their ideas via a power pointpresentation of maximum of 10 slides.3) Any design or prototype(if possible) is also welcomed along with thepresentation.4) Cross teams are allowed.5) Judging criteria:- a) Clarity-15% b) Cost-profit analysis - 20% c) Technical know-how - 20% d) Product Feasibility - 20% e) Product innovation - 20% f) References - 5% g) Plagiarism more than 10% will invite negative marking.

Your ppt should preferably contain the following slides-1. Cover Slide2. Description of the prototype3. Technology Stack4. Feasibility5. Cost-Profit Analysis6. Estimated showstoppers7. Innovation(how your product is different from thecrowd?). NOTE: THE PRIZE WILL BE DISTRIBUTED ONLY AFTER THE LOCKDOWN IS OVER IN ASSAM.

RULES:

Innovation only surviveswhen people believe intheir own ideas
