Examples of Green Projects in India

        There are various examples of Green Projects in India. Let us learn about some of them is detail.


        The Walkie-Talkie Mobi Charger
        Anand Gangadharan and Mohak Bhalla, students of Mount Carmel School, Delhi, devised a little device that functions as
        a portable mobile charger when attached to the heel of a shoe while the person is running. The two schoolboys created
        the mould, wired it and shaped the metal sheets from scratch.
        This device, which took over three months to develop, generates power up to six volts, as compared to the five volts
        released by a plug point, and hence charges the phone battery more quickly.























        Mitticool
        Mitticool, the brainchild of Mansukhlal Raghavjibhai Prajapati, a modest clay craftsman in Rajkot, Gujarat, is a low-cost
        clay refrigerator that does not require electricity. Mitticool requires just basic cleaning every two or three days since it
        uses water's ability to remove heat through evaporation, the age-old idea of 'Surahi' or 'cooling through evaporation'.
        The top of the unit is filled with water, which slowly drips down the sides, evaporating off the porous clay surface and
        chilling the interior. This also serves as a water cooler with a tiny faucet tap. It also aids in the reduction of electrical
        expenditures, which greatly benefits many rural families.

























        Tubewell Operated by a Windmill
        A grassroots innovation by two brothers from Darrang district in Assam who had just graduated from high school has
        proven to be a blessing to the salt producers of Little Rann of Kutch in coastal Gujarat. Windmill-powered pumps have
        replaced diesel pump sets, on which they were previously reliant, to pump out seawater for salt production.
