Sanitary napkins, a universally needed product, have a very low penetration in India dueto high price and the traditional trend of using cheaper but unhygienic old cloth pieces.The innovator has developed a machine that produces quality sanitary napkins at a lowcost.

One can prepare sanitary napkins with industry standard raw materials while cuttingdown the cost in production. It requires three to four persons to produce two pads perminute. Costing less than half of conventional options, this machine produces sanitarypads @ Rs.1 to Rs. 1.50 per pad approximately.

The innovator prefers to sell the napkin making machinery only to self-help groups ofwomen. He has also designed a napkin vending machine such that one can put a coinand get a pad. With the support from the Micro Venture Innovation Fund scheme of NIF,the innovator has been able to install over fifty units in seven states.

Imagine a village where the farmer has the luxury of being able to stay at home andswitch his irrigation pump in the faraway field on or off as required during the day or atnight. This is made possible by this innovation, which uses the power of mobile telephonyto trigger electrical control switches.

The farmer can remotely know the status of the pump in his cell phone and turn the motoron or off by calling the particular configured number. It activates the switching by certainnumber of rings and hence incurs no call charges. Prem Singh has developed severalother innovations, one of which is the viewer triggered multi-media poster. If any agencywants to communicate some graphic message with different language audios or videos,this multi-media poster can be very useful. NIF facilitated a Mumbai based company topurchase two hundred units of the talking poster worth around eight lakh rupees fordiffusion in various states. These were made available in five local languages.

07Auto air kick pump

Arvindbhai PatelGujarat

This innovation is a low cost, portable, compact aid to inflate tyre tubes/punctures of anyvehicle having kick start or auto start mechanism so as to fix the problem on the spot andenable the rider to reach the nearby gas station or repair shop.

This device uses the engine as the compressor for pumping air into the tube. A pinch ofpolymer granules is also inserted in the tube to seal the leakage in the tube.

Arvindbhai won a National Award in NIF’s Second National Competition for GrassrootsInnovations and Traditional Knowledge in 2002. NIF, apart from filing a patent in hisname, facilitated sales of a few hundred pieces to customers in Assam and ArunachalPradesh through dealership technology licensing and local entrepreneurs. Thetechnology is available for licensing to enterpreneurs in different states.

Power generation through sewage

K BalakrishnaKarnataka

08

There is a search going around the world for solutions that harness alternate energysources to generate electricity. The innovator has developed a system that generatesenergy from slow moving sewage or any other source of flowing water.

In this arrangement, electricity is generated when the slow moving sewage/water ispassed through a cylindrical drum. The helical blades inside the drum rotate it and andgenerate power. The capacity of the existing pilot unit is 30 kVA. This technology canhave a tremendous impact on the generation of power from low velocity, high volumedischarge of effluents from industries and civil sewage processing plants. NIF has beenactively following up with national and international entities for partnership in taking thisinnovation forward. NIF has also filed a patent for the technology in the innovator’s name.Public agencies such as municipal authorities can particularly help in testing its utility.

Improved multicrop thresher

Farmers across India require a reliable machine that achieves threshing with minimalgrain breakage, clean output for a variety of crops. The innovator has developed a versatilethresher that can meet these needs.

The modified thresher reduces setup time to less than 15 minutes to switch over from onecrop to another, and achieves minimal breakage. Its latest variant can also handlegroundnut apart from threshing other cereals and pulses.

The innovator has been provided working capital for his enterprise from the Micro VentureInnovation Fund of NIF. More than a hundred farmers have bought his thresher.

While on a trip, the innovators noticed laborers manually digging the ground to makelong trenches to lay telephone cables, taking months to complete the work. This inspiredthe innovators to build a mechanized equipment to dig trenches rapidly.

The trench digging unit developed by the innovators can be fitted to any tractor. Themodified unit has a hydraulic lever to adjust digging depth and to maneuver the runningunit, a planetary gear system and motion converter unit to achieve speed reduction anddeliver power from the tractor. The compact machine can dig narrow and deep channelsevenly, on hard and soft soil conditions. In one hour, it can dig 65 meters long, 5 feetdeep and 14 inches wide pit, while consuming only 2.5 liters of diesel per hour. Theequipment costs less than half that of imported models. It is even used by the localtelephone department to lay cables.

The innovator believes that every farmer should get good quality seeds to deliver highyielding varieties of crops. He has developed a number of improved wheat, paddy, mustardand pigeon pea varieties, which are high yielding, robust stem, having bold seeds withgood taste and resistance to major pests & diseases.

“Kudrat 9”, an improved wheat variety, developed by him using simple method of selectionis quite popular among the farmers in different parts of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,Chattisgarh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat and some parts of Bihar, Haryana andPunjab. This variety bears large number of ear bearing tillers with lengthy spikes and hasa hardy stem. The grain contains high protein and has better taste. The average yield ofthis variety is 55-60 quintals / hectares.

Bullet Santi-motocycle based multipurpose plough

Like other drought prone regions, Amreli region, from where the innovator belongs, hassevere labor shortage, few farm animals or mechanized implements to conduct farmingoperations. To address this need, the innovator designed a unique unit: the ‘Bullet Santi”.

Using the chassis, drive and power of an Enfield Bullet motorcycle, the innovator hasretrofitted an attachment with two wheels at the rear with a tool bar to fit various farmimplements. This helps in plouging, weeding and sowing seeds. Being a unique localsolution, the machine has proved to be cost effective and fuel efficient. Bullet Santi canplough an acre of land in half an hour consuming only two litres of fuel. Innovator got apatent in India and USA. Given the fact, many other users and innovators copied thistechnology, he has appreciated the concept of ‘Technology Commons’ implying norestrictions for other innovators to copy and adapt. But commercial firms will need licensefrom members of the ‘Technology Commons’.

Khobragade selected and bred the HMT rice variety from the conventional ‘Patel 3’, apopular variety developed by Dr. J. P. Patel, JNKV Agriculture University, Jabalpur. Hesucceeded after five years of continuous study and research on a small farm owned byhim without any support from the scientific community. This varierty has an average yieldof 40 – 45 quintals per hectare with short grains, high rice recovery (80 %), better aromaand cooking quality in comparison with the parent ones. Most remarkable feature of thevariety is the thinness of grain. It has been included as a standard reference for thinnessby Protection of Plant Variety and Farmers’ Right Authority (PPVFRA).

He won a National Award in NIF’s Third National Competition for Grassroots Innovationsand Traditional Knowledge in 2005. NIF has filed an application under PPVFRA 2001 toregister his variety. Apart from HMT he has also developed six other paddy varietiesnamely DRK, Vijay Anand, Nanded Chinur, Nanded 92, Deepak Ratna and NandedHira. He regrets that local agricultural university took the credit merely for purifying theseeds and did not give him the due honour. HMT has diffused in more than one lakhacres in five states.
