21-Aug-2020
Social Innovation Program is an initiative taken up at Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management for First Year students to envisage their Innovative Thinking abilities and nurture it towards the betterment of society. Through the program, students are introduced to community problems through a design thinking approach and encouraged to come up with viable solutions and convert them to sustainable projects or be deployed as a full-scale product.
Team ‘Mushroomania’ comprising of members Akhilesh P., Aishwarya K., Sathwik S.K. and Neha of First Year ‘I’ Section, have come up with an Innovative idea for Agricultural waste.
Sadly, Agricultural Waste in spite of being organic is not properly utilized. It is being ignored since it is not considered as a resource for any commercially important products. The majority portion of crop waste is burnt which leads to economic loss, environmental pollution, reduction of microbial activity in soil and growth of pests and pathogens.
The idea has completed the Prototype Stage and done for testing and successfully implemented.
With the continuous innovating of newer ideas, Sahyadri has reached a higher level in the field of innovation. Moreover, it’s a gateway for the budding juniors to join our institution and explore a world of new possibilities.
