The India International Trade Fair (IITF) that ended on Thursday saw a number of entrepreneurs showcase innovative ideas that struck a chord with visitors.
A start-up venture from the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi launched a solution that can provide a fillip to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. It is an organic waste processing system that produces bio-manure and biogas with solar and wind energy.
The inventors — Green Brick Eco Solutions — wondered what to do with the waste that is removed as landfills have both atmospheric and hydrological effects.
They came up with an answer to develop a complete environment-friendly waste management system, a machine that processes the garbage collected with the help of renewable energy and produces bio-manure and biogas.
Very few Delhiites get the opportunity to try their hand at organic farming or grow potted plants in their balcony or terrace. The blame the lack of space or time for this.
However, Vidhi Enterprises has come up with a drip irrigation device that runs on battery to take care of plants. Once programmed, it can run for a couple of months.
It has successfully been used by people who want to have a beautiful balcony garden but are careless when it comes to tending to plants.
