About Techpedia

There are about six lacs technology students who spend at least six months in their final year for doing a project. And yet, nobody knows the fate of these projects. There is no requirement from UGC or AICTE that every student put at least summary of their project on a national portal ( some day it will become obligatory for every student). Neither the problems of small and tiny industries are posed to the students nor the good projects of the
students are used by the industries. The grassroots green innovations ( www.nifindia.org www.sristi.org ) already developed in the informal sector also do not get an opportunity for being valorized by these students.

What will such a portal do: promote originality, and eliminate incentives to purchase the projects from third party vendors. The problem is that once a technical mind cuts corners and gets projects done by outsiders, he/she may not have compunction to cut any corner in future. At the same time, every time a person solves a real life problem, he/she becomes a better human being. How to get more and more students take up real life problems from MSME. If even one per cent projects become new products, industry would get at least 6000 ideas to invest in and stimulate demand for new products and services.
