Interesting innovations done by Indians which are unknown by many but useful to all

1.) Wheel chair convertible to crutches. - by S Ramakishore, Sanjay Srinivas, Tamil Selvan class 10, Maharishi International School, Chennai, Tamil Nadu

The idea is to have a modified wheelchair that can be folded and converted into a crutch so that it is easy to take on stairs as well use on flat surface. The three friends had gone to celebrate one of their friend’s birthday in an orphanage. They were moved by the plight of lower limb physically challenged.

2.) A torch with an additional bulb. - by Md. Alisher, class 12, KSS College, Lakhisarai, Bihar

The idea is to have another bulb below the main bulb of the torch so that light is available near the feet of user and also for people following the user. 

3.) New design of serving tray. - by Alok Singh, class 12, Shah Faiz Public School, Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh

Serving tray with a release mechanism to put cup/ glass on the table along with a coaster without touching it.

4.) Electronic purse with paired watch. - by Phamnya Konyak, class 9, Konjong Higher Secondary School, Mon, Nagaland

Password protected purse and an electronically paired watch, which alerts if user gets away from these or someone steals the purse. Phamnya is the first student winner from Nagaland and comes from a rural area. She thought about the idea after hearing many stories of theft and when one of her own friend lost his purse to pickpockets.

5.) Reminding the owner if keys are forgotten in the vehicle. - by Chandramouly K Kandachar, class 12, RV PU College, Bangalore, Karnataka

A system in vehicle, which intimates the driver through a phone call if the keys have been forgotten in the vehicle; also prevents theft. Chandramouly’s sister often forgot the keys in the car itself. He read about incidents where owner by mistake left the keys in the car, which got stolen subsequently; hence this idea.
