 So, welcome back. I have Professor Millian Tony as well as Professor Narona. The first time I am going to Valkan College of Engineering, Sangli. Any question? Respected sir, it is our great pleasure to interact with you in this great mega event conducted by MHRD. We want to ask a question. MHRD is currently giving inspiration to do the research in a national level. I want to know what MHRD can support for this event. For example, if a researcher wants to do research, he requires adequate resources like online journal access or particular software tools and etc. But in our India, except IIT, NIT and regional engineering colleges, various other institutes who are offering PhD, they are not providing that much adequate resources to the research students. So, what I feel, if MHRD can look after this issue in a national level, because UGC are offering them universities to provide this kind of courses, PhD courses to a nation, but they are not giving any adequate resources. So, that is the problem where majority researchers are facing, apart from, except from IIT and NIT. There is another question. I already submitted that what precaution that the researcher should take while interpreting his finding? Okay, your second question after Professor Millen's own interaction will be passed on to Professor Narona. Regarding the first question come comment about funding and facilities for research, when it comes to library, journal, papers and their availability, please look up the INDEST facility INDEST. Please talk to your librarian and look up the INDEST website. This is a conglomeration of various libraries in India who have subscribed to various e-resources and i-resources. And your request that MHRD should specifically look at supporting this, I will request Professor Fatuk to pass it on to MHRD. Thank you very much. Your question regarding your last question will be taken up by Professor Narona after the interaction with Professor Millen Soni. So, for interaction with Professor Millen Soni, now only questions pertaining to Professor Soni's talk, I am first going to MS Midway Engineering College, Latur. Beshapandu, Sonipath, please ask your question. Yes, sir, I would like to ask Professor Soni question regarding project-based education. We also want to indulge our MTech and UG students into some projects like on drinking water problem in the rural areas. But I want to know that what kind of funding we will be getting from MHRD or we have to generate it from our state government because we are having some students which are willing to do in this area, but there is no funding available. So, thank you for your question. First of all, every state has an S and T council. So, you do not need to go to DST. Your local, your state government also has an S and T council which can fund projects. Secondly, every district has a planning DPDC, district planning and development council. So, that committee also has some funding. Every district has some little bit of funding. Thirdly, if you are working in drinking water or any development sector, then many of these programs like Jal Swaraj or Adashgram Yojna has some funding set aside for technical service. So, all of these fundings are accessible at the local level. So, I think that that is exactly what I am saying that once the government discovers that students can take up projects and deliver value, this funding will increase. I think that you have to satisfy your local stakeholder and funding will follow. Initial seed funding from a local state S and T council and district planning committee and various programs should be adequate. But my second query in this record is that you have discussed that we should also give interdisciplinary education. So, how can we make our students of various branches work in a common project like say development of road infrastructure or health services likewise that? Again, good question. Good question. I think that as I said that you should form a cell of two, three faculty members from different departments who will coordinate your interaction with the outside world. So, that is number one. Number two is that the elective structure that you have right now in the B. Tech program, that open the elective structure to allow students to take courses from other like IT, economics, sociology, other mechanical course, civil course, so liberalize the elective offering make it easier for students to take electives. So, by these two basic mechanisms, you can actually develop interdisciplinary material. The other thing is that in the district, there will be many retired engineers retired or working look at other educational institutions in the neighborhood. So, there may be a good college of social sciences. So, you should interact with these educational neighborhood educational institutions right away. That will bring a lot of interdisciplinary understanding. Is that ok? Yeah, thank you sir. Ok. It was very nice having interaction with you and I was especially, I had heard your lecture in the morning. Thank you. Ok. Thakur college. Good afternoon sir. Regards on the occasion of Guru Polinima. Sir, I have a question with three to four sub-questions in it. The question pertains to the work of Dr. Soni. Resistance to change. That is the mentality or the mindset. So, whenever you go for or whenever the people are going for such activities, how you deal with or encounter with the socio-economic and political resistance to any of the change that is going to be incorporated in the area? And what is your mechanism of changing the mindset of the people if at all? The second sub-question is that like in the field of medicine, the fellows do not get the degree so long as they do not offer the services in the rural area. It is mandatory by the directorate of medical education. So, can certain steps be taken or is it possible? That because if we look at the final year project, most of the time is lost in academics or the learning the subjects. And as you have mentioned in your lecture that the general subject should be incorporated but yesterday the talks of Dr. Fattak, they reflected that one should also have the very basic subjects also core engineering subjects. So, there should not be a compromise between general subject and core subject. So, cannot thought be given to extending the engineering course to a duration of four and half where in the last six months the every student pursuing engineering education has to do some work in the rural area as a separate project in total or in totality. And for that the government body is there in activation just like the there is for the medical education. I need your opinions on it. And the third sub-question is about the case study or what we see is the neighboring states like the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan which once were supposed to be the dry states they have irrigated them whereas the progressive state like Maharashtra it is having the in certain parts particularly the eastern part there is always the drought and problems are there. So, how do you how do you analyze or pursue this situation? Thank you sir. Thank you very much for your three very very important questions. So, the first question is resistance to change. So, actually you are right but there has been a culture for so many decades that we have we have to rely we have relied on you know on our superiors or some you know or on the administration or on the minister or politicians. I think that resistance to change is accompanied should be accompanied by ability to change. So, once we have the ability to change I am sure the resistance will dissolve. But more than that there is really no other way. You see development now is so stuck that we just have to have the ability to change for all of us. So, I think that is number one I will answer question three also that I think knowledge will create dissolve these difficulties. So, for example, if you put out a study a very systematic study of what is the say drinking water situation in your district that and put that out as a report or you submit it to us will verify it and make it technically sound and now that that report if it is you know if it is published in your DPDC for example, Palak Manthri if you present it to your Palak Manthri or if you present it to common civilians then or our citizens then that knowledge will create its own pressure. That knowledge is essentially the thing the way to dissolve you know the dissolve such obstruction. So, I think knowledge is I mean we are educationist and we I think that knowledge is the primary mover of society. So, I think that concrete nice verifiable knowledge will go a long way that will answer one and three about two I think that you know multi interdisciplinarity should not be confused by with something which is less than rigorous interdiscipline must be very rigorous. I think if you look at very good engineering colleges say for example, Michigan or Illinois or in India also not good engineering curriculum in the international scene only one third of the courses or you know two fifth of the courses are in engineering. So, for example, a mechanical engineer in the US or in good university will do about 14, 15, 18 courses in mechanical engineering all the other courses are taught by their professional say for example, economics you can do three or four courses or sociology two or three courses or music four or five courses taught very rigorously. So, I am saying when I say interdisciplinary I mean that taught by rigorous people from disciplinary area. So, interdisciplinary must come from very rigorous people. So, I am not saying that you have to do everything mismatch no no no is that clear. So, I think these are the I think these should these should be the basic building blocks and I think the other question you had asked about can engineers be made to do compulsory rural project well you see what I have said is that it is for the benefit of a good engineer to do projects go out and learn stuff and if it can be done in academic institution without force and so much the better. The other thing is that in the medical profession the support or the capital cost needed to do medical education are far more than engineering and government is actually medicine then in engineering. So, therefore, it has a bigger right to enforce one year of rural duty all. So, that is my opinion clear. Thank you sir. Thanks a lot. Over and out. Thank you. IPS Indore. Sir, my name is Urvashi Sharma. IPS Academy Indore. Associate in the Department. Thank you sir for social knowledge on research methodology. Sir, I want to query how to write a paper on practical oriented topic. Well, there are many case studies available you know our own case studies there I have put up a case study on my web page. You can see how we analyze the problem and report. So, there are many journals which also report case study development case study. So, you should refer to them our own web page has Sitara web page or my own web page has several case study which you know which are you know very close to journal level publication. Thank you. Sir, I want to know more about Sitara and if we could have more details on this. Yeah, well sure. So, I will briefly describe Sitara. Sitara started in 1985 after the 25 years of IIT Bombay there was a review committee and that reviewed IIT Bombay and suggested that IIT should interact with the development sector. That was how in 1995 Sitara started. So, for about you know the last 15-20 years we have worked in various sectors like agriculture and then you know water energy and so on. But in the last 5-7 years we have started this demand driven or problem solving method. So, instead of you know taking a technology within us and taking it outside we are first looking outside for a problem and building capacity to solve the problem within inside. So, it is really now problem driven rather than solution driven. So, essentially you know instead of saying that oh now civil engineering is going out and solving problem. No, problem needs civil engineering, problem needs mechanical, problem needs social science, problem needs economic. So, we form together a team of that such team and then solve the problem. So, you understand this solution or it is a solution and problem driven orientation. The second thing is in 2007 we have started an M Tech program in technology and development. So, that program is essentially to prepare people you know you if you saw my presentation prepare people who are social modelers and who can model problems and work with state government, try and implement programs, work with district collectors, work with institutions like yours you know and develop a you know develop a development perspective within the institute, within the district, within big program like you know others Gram Yojna, Jal Swaraj and so on or and Narega you know Rosgarhami Yojna and so on. So, we are essentially taking engineers and training them in 2 years to become development professionals. I hope that help visit W visit my web page. Thank you, KMM College Chittu. Hello, I am Dr. Meshwasu from KMM Institute of Technology and Science, Tirupati from Andhra Pradesh. I am asking the questions Professor Milindy Sahoni. Sir, can I ask the questions sir? Yes. So, you are giving valuable information about the engineering helpful to the society. I come through that and also I have a question and I studied about your case study also. My question is as per your word says that the university is an important mediator to identify the various problems through the students and finding solutions and the university since the university is having direct access to the government. So, like our affiliated institutions having generated number of engineering graduates and also and the prospective engineering students. So, how they can access the financial assistance and the technology and other sources sir regarding the projects and so on. So, that is my question and I am expecting the answers from you sir. So, as I see it I will recap the question you had asked that you and your affiliated universities how can they access funding and technology. So, let me answer first of all every state government has an has an S and T council right. So, Andhra Pradesh will also have an S and T council. So, you should approach S and T council for funding for your projects. When you apply when you make a project proposal to your local S and T council get your district collector or your local agency chief engineer of your you know district or whoever with whom you are going to do the project get later from in get some you know get acknowledgement sit with the sit with your stakeholders first. So, with the stakeholders get a primary understanding of what the problem is then write the proposal to your local S and T council. That is number one in fact the district collector or the there is a meeting planning committee of the district that committee also has some little bit of money to do studies. So, you should use that also once you do these two three projects you know you will have the confidence to apply for bigger grants if you need the bigger grants just do not apply because you want the money that the money if the what I am trying to say that start with the need what is your need within the need and you will find money. So, district collector local S and T council various programs like Rosgarh Endrega by the way Andhra Pradesh has one of the most one of the best groundwater board it has the best Narega Endrega you know Endrega national rural employment guarantee scheme reporting. So, there are these programs you can work within these programs and you will see forestry for example, forestry reporting and so on it is very good Andhra Pradesh. So, I think that if you align if you align yourself with these programs and see what they are doing I am sure you will find funding. Thank you sir, thank you sir, thank you over to you. So, hello IRTT Irode, oh you see public transport is such an important area in fact in one year you see it is to do with technology it is to do with society applied economics demographics and public governance and so much. So, I think that you know if your center university can develop a taluka level public transport need you know what is the need for and how is it provisioned how do subsidies flow you know are our public you know road transport corporation running in profit or loss how to you know use a 6-seater you know local there are 6-seaters or Vikrams or whatever how to do mixed mode public private partnership to ensure that our taluka people actually can travel from their place of work like laborers can travel cool children can travel weekly markets can be made I think this is a very very important area and actually if you have some applied economies faculty member or hiring them and then this will be very very important I think. So, you know we have a taluka case study which is done by two undergraduate students it is there on my web page you can have a look at it but that is only very very rudimentary I have we have to find the students to extend that study further but I think this is a very important question I hope this help is that clear. Thank you very much sir thank you very much over and out. S B Patil Pune. Myself sir in afternoon you have discussed about the work on the same on the same basis I want to ask the patient in our Satara district there are various taluka places dry areas they in some even in a rainy season also the tankers are required for the water supply purpose if I want to initiate the work in that area then how can I initiate and one more question that I want to ask that if I want to initiate the work in that area we need a financial support manpower much more we can say so how I could arrange it is there any financial funding agency or funding agency to support such a work. So good question so I think that first of all you know Rajaram Bapu Institute of Technology in Sangli we are working with them on this tanker fed village problem. So you should talk to Prasok Kulkarni Sushmati Kulkarni from RIT you know about what is the funding requirement what sort of training is required and so on. You see the funding requirement is very slow very little so you do not really need thousands and thousands of rupees or lakhs of rupees can be done in a few thousand. I am sure that your institute may find it useful you know for its own name and fame that to invest a little bit of money but once you start doing good work I am sure that individual Zilaparishad will find some money for you. Okay the money requirement is not really big you can talk to RIT you see but first you have to start talking to Zilaparishad or your MI minor irrigation Lagupad Bandha Revi Bhag or Pani rural drinking water department get tanker fed data what are the routes what are just show that you are you know you are more interested in this aspect the problem and understand the problem I think money will come. So maya Mumbai do you have a question for Professor Sohani. Good afternoon sir. Good afternoon. First of all you have included this session on rural technology that is really relevant because mostly engineering and management institutes are catering to multinational companies only. Now one suggestion is there a similar session in appropriate technology for sustainable development research in appropriate technology also can be added in the programs coming forth. Similarly with the behest of MHRD in all the engineering colleges a compulsory course on environmental sciences has been included. So on the same lines can MHRD consider rural technology as a subject or as an elective at least because some institutes are there in India who are providing offering course management MBA degree in rural management on the same lines why in engineering colleges rural technology cannot be there. Over to you sir. Thank you I think your suggestion on appropriate technology is very nice and in fact you know that IIT Bombay has been offering a course in appropriate technology for the last 20-30 years. So I mean in fact in the Sitara M Tech program and IIT B Tech program appropriate technology is considered a very important and useful course. I think the more than the ability more than making something compulsory it is for our colleges to first you know have the expertise to teach the course right. So I think that if all colleges first do such similar small projects then they can they can start teaching appropriate technology. I think before we have the experience we cannot teach a course. So I think for teaching appropriate technology we must first start doing working small projects and actually you know doing something appropriate. So I think you know that is what all engineering is about. I think a lot of our faculty members including myself we are teaching what we are not experienced. So all my lecture was trying to say that let us have the experience then automatically teaching will be appropriate interdisciplinary and everything. So I think that is a question that is the first reply. The second thing was what about can you repeat your second part. Actually in management institutes rural management is there on the same lines I said and actually my suggestion is because we are we had to abide by the system so we are not autonomous basically to include all this. So probably MHRD intervention will work to some extent at least some some policy or some provision from MHRD. Correct. But I think that first let all our engineering colleges start doing appropriate technology. So then once that is very clear then MHRD will understand it very well that our colleges are doing appropriate technology and we should be teaching it. That is number one I think that in the elective structure one can still every college will still have the room to develop an elective called appropriate technology. Autonomous or not. But please do if you think that your university is not that liberal then please do write to me I will collect all this data and submit it before the if I can. So I will take it up with professor if that can be done. Is that okay? Thank you sir, thanks a lot sir. League is there. Good afternoon sir. Sir I am a professor in Vidalankar Polytechnic. I would like to ask one thing that can our student be the part of sitara or whatever the surveys are being undertaken by sitara or surveys or some other research thing. Can our student be particularly participate in that? Yes actually if you go to our web page you will see the TDSL program. If you look at our TDSL program technology and development supervised learning. So first of all you should your university your college should start or adopt that TDSL framework. Then your TDSL framework and our TDSL framework can be merged and then you know that is number one. Number two is that even you know I who come to me I throw them away because they just want some label or some you know some certificate. So you have to be careful that student interest is preserved. They just do not want some is honest and original. We do not just want some people just doing some development and so on. You see that they have to be curious and honest. So remember that development is about honesty and hard work. So you must assess that that is there and then if you have your TDSL framework in our TDSL it can be merged. I hope this help. Katrao Rampur. I have worked some 7 years in private engineering college. So what I feel that in higher education 80 to 90 percent colleges are privately owned and they have a research facility 0 and QIP facility they do not have and as a most of the faculty members they have to be involved in the research and how they can cope up and at same time even UEC, AICD so they stress on their search publication and API. So how the teachers being in a private colleges can go and pursue their search. Thank you. So actually I am not sure if this question is for Milin Soni but whatever is my personal understanding I will give. So I think what I am just saying is that what your question was that given that 90 percent of our colleges are private with very little facilities the UGC demand for PhD and research paper and so on are they reasonable or not. Now I do not really claim to have answer to this. I am not a student of how MHRD functions or UGC functions but I think all I am saying is that if you they instead of doing it on sensor networks or nanotechnology for which there are no resources my or you know problem statement might as well do research on your local problem about about your local scenario. I think you may end up doing far better research and far easier to report that research in international journal if you do it on a problem which you understand that is all. Thank you. Government engineering college Pinau. Good evening sir. I am Rajazin in the remote center coordinator. So actually regarding the socially relevant project research we have got some suggestions for your comments. So first is regarding the Bitta project first of all in order to do research we should introduce the research concept first regarding the Bitta project nowadays there is a habit that people will be going out and getting projects done by project development institute that has to be stopped so that our suggestion is that faculty should take enough steps so that the project is taken inside or if a students are going outside it will be under the control of the faculty. That is one point and regarding since most of the colleges are affiliated to various universities there will be spring and schemes etc. but in the assignments what we can do is see some of the assignments can be a problem solving for the local self government. Problems faced by local self government or local NGOs can be taken as an assignment rather than copying some text from the internet or so and third point is regarding the state council actually in Kerala we have got a government establishment like center for engineering research and development it is meant only for government engineering colleges. Regarding the council we feel that it is always a way from us so applying for funding etc. will be difficult. Nowadays 2 years back this center for engineering research and development has an establishment government engineering colleges regional centers are there is research money is allowed to faculty for student project. So many projects have been taken by the faculty and students in government engineers of Kerala and the fourth point is regarding the university curriculum etc. so I think IT Bombay and sir you can take a lead role in the inter university council committee presenting these ideas. So this is actually what you are presenting is a paradigm shift regarding concentrating on a particular area or particular subject and looking forward interdisciplinary project. So these are only our suggestions and waiting for your comments sir. Thank you very much for your comments I think you know Kerala of course is a big tradition of local self-government and I think that you know I have interacted with or talked to people from Kila and so on I think that you know especially with Kerala I think that it is it is eminently possible to work with SHGs and to I think that really all your comments are or your observations are very right. So how to get the paradigm shift to work I think that is the we all sensible people have to come together and ask R and D agencies that why should funding be only at the top why can it not go down. So I think that it is only when the government starts trusting our output and relying on us that we will find good self-respect. So I think that you are what you are saying is right to happen and that is absolutely essential for development. I think that that is the key I agree with all your points I have really it is a long process and we must do it we must just get together and do it. Thank you sir over and out. Hello Hyderabad. Good afternoon sir. Good afternoon. I would like to have a classification on this one aspect. Are there any sample prepared models implementing population wise schemes for solid waste management in urban India particularly in cities like Hyderabad of Andhra Pradesh. Yeah well you see solid waste is a big problem right and there are different cities first of all you know many of our cities are under taxed okay so first of all when you examine a city you must first see how much is the tax base correct. So you know I think that you know it is a very complicated problem and smaller cities Hyderabad is going to be too big to solve. I think the smaller cities is where you should begin and there I think there are many examples for example in Pune for Pune has been doing a lot of nice things Nasik is doing I know about Maharashtra. Nasik Pune that is that size cities have been doing well and I think it is mainly the solution at source I mean there are standard solutions and all of them need engineers and professionals. So all I am saying is that you know the technical solutions are already there it is how to collect manpower how to organize the agency and how to build some you know build some loop feedback loop that is the main issue and of course reducing the garbage you know garbage being generated. So I think it is a big question so I cannot solve it over this session and discuss about it offline. Sir you are specified in your article in current science that supply demand was matched in both corporate and development sector can you justify this statement with a realistic example. Well I mean in my talk I said no how many drinking water engineers are there in your Taluka just find out how many drinking water people connect engineers connected with drinking water are there in your Taluka. So it is very clear that you know there are one or two for you know about four or five people for Taluka now they are obviously not enough to you know create infrastructure or maintain it or design. So I think that there is an under supply in the development sector is very clear now there is an over supply in IT and pharma sector that is also very clear there are so many biotech people who are doing out jobs. Sir can you explain clearly with an example taking this employees are trained in employee training but not towards interdisciplinary and entrepreneurship. Yeah so if you look at if you I mean do is there a course which says now okay now here is I mean for example look at the public transport in our city talk to all stakeholders and what are the issues and how do you improve it do we do our teachers take our students out out of the campus and say less let us look at this problem now highlight what are the various issues you know and what do you think how should you decompose the you know the problem into sub-problem do we teach them. Yes sir thank you thank you so much. Rajiv Gandhi Bhopal. I am Shivkumar Kusra from Rajiv Gandhi University Bhopal Sir I have a new idea and I am developing a new rural technology during my research. Now I want to get it implemented in the society for that I have already applied at the first phase in the first phase I have applied for patent. Now secondly I would like to apply for funding in my idea so you have said that I can approach DST or I can S&T council for that sir I need a report guideline or project proposal guideline that how we can such report or such proposal to such agencies thank you. So actually my talk was about the paradigm it was not about the specific thing now if you go to your local S&T council web page for example in Maharashtra web page if you go you will get standard formats okay and what are the standard you know just like DST as formats local S&T council also have format what I am saying that if your invention or your intervention is good then why do not you go and talk to the collector or your district or your divisional commissioner now they also have discretionary funding so you should really I mean I cannot advise you on patenting and not patenting and so on I can advise you on what benefits the people okay we believe in open source correct so what I can tell you how to take it to the people and how to work with the people I can advise you I cannot advise you about this specific method of working Bharati Vidyapit I have one question Is it possible to make compulsion by universities and AICT to its Indian colleges to do social benefits projects in their curriculum you see so I will repeat the question is it possible to make it compulsory for students to do social benefit in the curriculum now you see we are first of all you know my argument was not about you know was not about doing service it is about learning engineering okay so I think that one has to appeal to we cannot really force force the MHRD or AICT to force something on us that is not the way to do it why do not we ourselves there is some freedom available to us we should utilize that freedom and ask our students to go out and first of all that means that faculty members have to start doing things you know start solving real problems so I think before asking somebody to whip us you know we should whip ourselves and go out and see what we can do so I think asking something to become compulsory is not the right way I think we should also by practice show what can be done Kolapur I would like to ask one question regarding on the similar lines of what Hyderabad did we are facing in Kolapur we are facing the severe problem of solid waste management so how it can be addressed and the second thing is Vittara can technically help us in this regard and one more question is regarding sir projects which have been carried out because our college is only one college regarding environmental undergraduate course which is providing here in Maharashtra we are carrying out various projects at our level but after the student gets passed out that project doesn't have any significance so it should be transferred at some higher level or it should be utilizable to the society how it can be utilized through the is there any technical guidance regarding this through Sita or any expert opinion please thank you very much actually now that you have asked the question of solid waste management again one more question I will you see we have looked at solid waste generation and its disposal and various technologies for several cities and several small towns for example in Karzat town we roughly know how much is produced where is it produced where is it dumped and what are the logistics for Mumbai also I think one of the words we have some such understanding so it is a complicated problem and I think the first place to start is to engage in the logistics part and you know collection and delivery weighing of the garbage and so on so making sure that you understand all the basic variables how much is collected how much is the household collection how much is being dumped what is the weight at delivery you know at the dumping point and then you see once we have you know once we have trustworthy data on solid waste then it will then an understanding will emerge so I think right now what happens is that there is little data and very reliable data in the public domain so I think you know something like KIT can help in making this data more reliable also if you look at collection collection is a nice IT and computer science optimization problem solid waste you know segregation these are at source these are all I think these are all problems which are you know if you first of all I think that you do not end at the student project you know as I said have one or two three faculty members who are coordinating such project so there has to be you know the duration of the project has to be by faculty member not by student so the main interaction the main stakeholder you know relationship is between the institute and the agency not between student and the agency student is to be used as an employee quote unquote employee but the by the institute and by faculty members who have been named into the coordination as I said that you know the Sritara produces M.Tex who can help you coordinate but you have to hire them and you have to pay them I hope that helps there is one more question sir similarly in environment there are the projects being carried out in mechanical and production department those are related to the farm equipments so which we can be used in rural area but once the project is over that there is no nothing is happening further so what are the agencies etc which can help to take those projects extended to farmers which can use etc we are having those projects lying in our lap so first of all you know you ask yourself how who asked for that project who asked for that project which you built who asked for it that project which is lying in your lab who asked for it the students did the survey and they found that this is the requirement in the farm the farmers are finding this difficulty correct so now what you have correctly to do is that there are many farm machinery manufacturers there are many farm machinery manufacturers for example if you look at the simple healthy cooking machine you know the healthy processing so there are many manufacturers you have to get you know their manufacture will have their own sangatna so you have to start working with their agricultural manufacturing sangatna and then start looking at research problem so you cannot say a farmer needs this I am going to make you do not you know a college like ours or yours will not have the capacity to manufacture and deliver and maintain and serve so that has to be done by existing manufacturers so what you have to do is build a rapport with the manufacturing group and you know there is a I am sure that there is a sangatna or association of manufacturer kolapur udhyam is known as the udhyam nagari I think it has I am sure it has a lot of cooperative I mean a lot of collectives you know producer correctives and factory I hope you I make myself clear is that okay thank you sir over to you hello yeah sir this is D.P. Mishra from BIT dog and my question is specific to the gober gober gas plants that we are using in our villages sir at present the gober gas plants that we are having they are not giving much more efficiency in the villages even we are not having some advanced technology to develop that thing just now I am gone through some of the gober gas plants offered by Chinese people but for constructing those gober gas plants in rural areas we are not having technology as we are just related with the things that we have to utilize for developing that present plant so are you able to suggest some technique to develop the efficient gober gas plant that we have that we can transfer in our rural areas thank you actually gober gas or biogas is an important research area for sitara you know prosa anandrao from sitara works on gober gas and biogas and there are several student reports also on biogas and gober gas so I think that you should probably write to prosa anandrao with a reference to our work our you know with a reference to me also please send him your existing reports or analysis of existing gober gas plants and you know what sort of what models are you using you know so again the rc model that you know the dimman do model and so on so exactly what exactly what have you observed technical specs you have observed send that report to us is that okay sir you know we are having different types of traditional gober gas plants but they are not giving us the proper output correct so if you have done measurement if you know if you have a design of the gober gas and photos prepare a report and send it to us send it to prosa anandrao okay okay sir okay sir thank you thank you very much sir what you sir anurag group rangarethi good evening professor this is malesh anurag group of institution aidrabad my question is nowadays everybody making awareness regarding the research because lot of research is needed for society and my question is if research you are also making aware of the ten thousand people around through this remote centered awareness about the research everybody willing to do research but the lacking of the guides is one aspect and one more equipment anything research related required or any information this is all will be research won't come up by making aware of this program this is again demotivating the researchers is my question if same thing you are guiding remote way to the all the researchers and they are doing their research work and you can say that this is the you can enroll with remotely and you can do the research work no need of the worry about the guides if you are passing anything it is helpful all the researchers and attribute through standardized research to the society is my question thank you over to you sir thank you very much actually we are not saying that research to be done through remote guidance I am not saying that at all I am just saying that we have to understand what our resources are and how good at what are our problems and what are the skillset that we have I think to you know you see society has many people or many segments it has retired engineers it has writers, authors, newspaper editors, architects and people in colleges and universities so I think for the development of society first of all the research atmosphere or the academic atmosphere or the ability to understand what is happening discuss what is happening and that is more important so for example just to increase the research atmosphere in your university why don't you invite people from other segments of society to come and give talks that also sensitizes people to what research means or what does understanding our society mean I think that you will discover a lot of interesting and important people just by inviting you know people outside the just professors and so on you invite people and that is how you build up a research atmosphere research atmosphere is actually in the air it is not in people or in machines and that has to be done by actually being more inclusive going out and understanding where are the problems and who has something interesting to say about it thank you I hope that helps Sir what I would like to convey to you is just now as answer to somebody some participant question you told the district collector planning commission for funding local projects like similar what are all the funding agencies available locally at state level district level country level if you can provide some awareness among all the participants this may help us for applying some funding agencies for some projects for that that same thing can be taken up as a PhD work you see I think yeah I think that you are many of you are very bothered about funding I think you know if you look at the case study which I had done it was done in 6 months with you know all the money that was needed was travel to and fro everything all the software free now it was done in less than 30,000 rupees okay now you know 30,000 rupees the taluka administration can easily find okay now there are many programs which are running in your taluka for example national rural employment guarantee scheme is running jalsarajas running others gram you know PM RDF is running prime minister whatever rural road development so many and they all by the way there is also the provision of being a technical service provider so why do not you register yourself as a technical service provider in the taluka or district so by that means you will you will be called to evaluate project you will be called to you know assess and you will be called to bid so there are funding I think that you need large amounts of funding to start all I am saying is why do not you start first you know funding will follow and the starting funding is very minimal and there are many agencies so my example start with the stakeholder who is your stakeholder how much money he or she has or that agency has and that is adequate you first make an impact what is the percentage of Indian research helping for the Indian society that is the one question and the other one are not sponsoring research project and why they are importing technology unlike developed countries now I think why do not you read my article in current science that article is there on Moodle fine so if you go to Moodle you will find I have a paper in current science I know trying to ask exactly these questions okay so all of you should read that article in current science perspective you may not agree with it but write your own do your own research you first of all see how I have understood how I have out you know taken into account what are the papers I have referred to so if you want to argue you make your own study and send it to me I would be very happy so last question Tanjavur My question is whether the database can be created for the research scholars who are working in solid waste management and the next question is could you take any initiative through MHRD for organizing workshop for solid waste management thank you sir over to you okay so well this is the third question on solid waste management so I will forward this question to a relevant faculty member in IIT Bombay and so we will have a group which will work on urban solid waste management and try and come up with this I think that it seems to be an important problem we will try and come out of the group by the way I have a question to you people at Tanjavur do you still play MS Subalakshmi at the railway stations in the morning I had come in for in the morning train to see Bihar Deshwara temple and when I got off in the train I there was MS Subalakshmi in the on the PA system it was very nice is that still on Yes sir is MS Subalakshmi still being on the PA system yes sir very beautiful thank you very much sir in solid waste management we have developed a system and we demonstrated in Tanjavur and we would like to carry on to the whole of India can you please help us in this can you send us a report if you have a report on that please send it to me we have we have been even trying in Visapatnam also and we have been doing lot of work in methanization also no so why don't you but if you have any reports please send those reports to me definitely sir so thank you very much Professor Soni for lecture today morning and very nice interaction we had
