AAKRUTI 2024 for ASEAN (Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philipine)

The main objectives of AAKRUTI are:

• Provide a platform for students to demonstrate their creativity, innovative abilities, and engineering skills
• Build a bridge between “Academia” and the “Industry.”
• Increase awareness about Sustainability through Product Design
Each year AAKRUTI is launched with specific themes and problem statements. The students need to identify a particular problem to solve and work out innovative solutions. We expect
the participants to cover the entire product lifecycle, starting from market research, conceptual design, and detailed design up to building a functional prototype of their solution. Students
participating in the contest have access to the best-in-class software from Dassault Systèmes to facilitate the design and simulation of their solutions.
The AAKRUTI jury panel comprises eminent domain experts from the industry, distinguished professors from the academic world, and technical specialists from Dassault Systèmes. The
contest is typically run in multiple rounds.

Contest Registration will be opened on May 1st till May 31st, 2024

AAKRUTI Problem Statement and Reference

To help students better understand the themes and make progress in the competition, we have compiled a collection of sample problem statements for the AAKRUTI 2023 contest.

We encourage you to refer to these problem statements for Inspiration and to come up you’re your innovative ideas to tackle the challenges presented by the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals.

�� As mentioned, these problem statements are provided to give you a reference, hence do not just take these problem statement as your product design project for participation.
If any team is using these problem statement directly without any changes, they will get less weightage by jury member during evaluation. Hence please use these problem statements
as inspiration and come up with your own creative solution. ��

Best of luck for your participation in AAKRUTI 2024. �

Let's work together to create a sustainable future for all." �

� Create a wind-powered generator for urban environments that is both efficient & aesthetically pleasing �

� Solar-Powered Water Desalination Unit for Remote Locations �

� Stubble Burning is one of the major problems, India is facing from few decades. This problem comes due to a increased rate of agricultural diversity India has and low
awareness towards the pollution. This problem can be Dealt with in two ways, 1) By making a storage to degrade the mass which is produced and the generated fertilizer can be
given back to the fields. 2) A faster way to deal with this problem is to make an Incinerator to trap the burned C02 and other harmful gasses and transform it into sub products
of like ink, road building material like coal tar. Technology for converting the gases into ink is already in use the setup should be made portable and cheap enough for farmers
and other users to use.�
