A portable, noninvasive, low cost device that helps in pre-screening of five eye major diseases; a solution that allows the farmers to remotely control the agricultural motor using his mobile or land line through an interactive voice response system; is nothing but a device that mechanizes the tedious process of pattern-weaving on the ‘Tie & Dye’ Pochampalli silk saree (Laxmi Asu Machine) were some of the innovations that walked away with the honors at the Grand Finale of the Samsung Innovation Quotient, which concluded recently in New Delhi.
The Samsung Innovation Quotient Award was bagged by K Chandrasekhar, for his innovation ‘3nethra’ on preventive eye care ; the First Runner Up Award went to Vijay Bhaskar Reddy for Kisan Raja – a solution for farmers that allows them to remotely control the agricultural motor and the 2nd runner up Award went to C Mallesham for the Laxmi Asu Machine.
