Innovation : Telephone Operated Remote Switch

www.nif.org.in/dwn_files/hariyana/Part-I%20Innovations%20.pdf

National Innovation Foundation (NIF) has been pursuing the
mission of making India innovative and a creative society
since 2000 with the active support of Department of Science
and Technology, Government of India. Till date NIF has been
able to scout innovations and traditional knowledge practices
from over 520 districts across India.

Telephone Operated Remote Switch

The innovator observed the difficulty of farmers in their homes at night, who need to go to
faraway fields, as per availability of power supply, to switch the motor on or off for pumping
water.
The innovation uses the power of a mobile phone on existing networks to enable the
farmer to know of electricity status and remotely switch the pump on or off as required,
while sitting in his home itself. This “mobile phone operated switch” is an instrument box
with an attached mobile phone and modified circuit which can toggle a device between
switch-off and switch-on conditions, besides letting the user know the status of the remote
device.

Speech on Current Education System

"LORD MACAULAY'S ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT 2 FEBRUARY, 1835"

"I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace the old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."

Lord Ramachandra about building the bridge

Lord Ramachandra about building the bridge Building The Bridge - His Causeless mercy on us.

Lord Ramachandra was building the bridge to reach Lanka and kill Ravana. The monkeys were carrying huge stone to build this bridge. The strongest of all monkeys was Hanuman Ji and He was carrying the biggest boulders and throwing them in the sea to make the bridge.

There was a small spider who was also assisting Lord Rama to build the bridge by pushing very small sand particles. When Haumana Ji saw the spider struggling to push small sand particles, he started laughing and asked spider -

Hanuman Ji - "What is the use of your effort?"
Lord Ramachandra called Hanuman Ji over and asked him
Lord Ramachandra - "Tell me why I am building that Bridge?"
Hanuman Ji - "Because you want to cross the ocean".
Lord Ramachandra - "This is not true. I don't have to cross the ocean. Just a few minutes ago i dried the ocean simple by getting angry. That's not the reason I could be there in one moment if I wanted. Simply by writing my name the stones are floating in the ocean."
Lord Ramachandra - "How much more potent is it if I am there?"
Hanuman Ji - "Because you want to kill Ravana."
Lord Ramachandra - "If i want to kill Ravana all I have to do is leave his heart and he will die. Only because of my presence in his heart he is living."
Hanuman Ji - "Then why you are building this bridge?"
Lord Ramachandra - "To engage all of you in the devotional service and thus get purified. Like you the spider is also struggling and trying his best to engage in devotional service."

Amazing isn't it.

A Wednesday | ADRINDIA.ORG - One of the solution in this direction.

I saw this movie "A Wednesday" day before yesterday and found it amazing. Actually I am interested into computer security and every friend of mine, who know this interest of mine was saying that, I should watch this movie as, 1. Movie is really good and 2. It involve computer security stuff. As I am not movie freak, so was not aware of this movie, and somehow made this image in my mind, that it must be a Hollywood thriller, but when I watched this movie it came out to be a Hindi Movie. After all this..... it is a AMAZING movie...
Message conveyed in this movie, has already been conveyed in movies like "Hindustani - Kamal Hasan", "Rang De Basanti". All these things bring so much anger and guilt, that made me thing that what should be done.
Recently I had the benefit of attending one session by Prof.Trilochan Sastry from IIM Bangalore as part of Barcamp7. It was supposed to be an hour session but discussion lasted for around three hours. People had all kinds of doubts that usually bother us, but all queries were answered with strong examples with references from previous events.
The Association for Democratic Reforms was started by a few professors at IIM. And after much struggle, they were able to collect data of various candidates from different political party and came out with a detailed report. This details was very shocking.
