                E xamples 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                        A device
                 portable mobile charger when attached to the heel of a shoe                               that enables
                 while the person is  running.  The two schoolboys created the                              shoes to
                 mould, wired it, and shaped the metal sheets from scratch.                                   charge
                                                                                                               mobile
                 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.
