Indian Innovation: From Gandhi to Gandhian Engineering R A Mashelkar

Mahatma Gandhi Engineered the Indian Freedom Movement Innovated through nonviolence Selfless, Compassionate, Unconventional Better world for all, not just a few!

Guiding Innovation Principles •Ahimsa (Non Violence) •Swadeshi (Self Reliance)

•Charkha (Tool & Symbol of Independence Movement)

Innovation Doing Things Differently Making a Big Difference Making Impossible Possible

The Challenge: Including the Excluded!

Engineering Challenge: Getting More from Less

Can all these functions be combined in to one?

Calculator Telephone Computer, email, internet

Music System

Camera Video Camera

Only Engineers can do it!

MORE FROM LESS

Moore’s Law- More from Less Gordon E. Moore The Intel co-founder and chairman emeritus

•Moore‟s Law: Almost since the inception of the IC, the number of transistors incorporated into a memory chip has increased by a factor of 4 every 3 years with unerring regularity.

The growth in complexity of Si IC technology as measured by the number of transistors in a dynamic random-access memory(DRAM) NUANCE Center

The Great Indian Challenge

What can you search when you can’t read?

- Getting More from Less Illiteracy in India • 200 Million illiterates • Illiteracy reducing at 1.3 % per annum • Around 20 years to clear the backlog Can we do it in 5 years? Can we do it in $2 per person?

By Kohli led TCS team

Getting More From Less For More

An illiterate woman can start reading in 6-8 weeks Cost- Rs 100 per person= $2.0

The Great Global Challenge

What can you read when you can’t see?

THE DARK SIDE…

-1.6 billion people in the world have no access to electricity - 579 million of those reside in India Which is ~ 50% of India’s population!
