DHITI ’10 – Technology Reaching its Destiny

DHITI is an event conducted by NIRMAAN in APOGEE-2010, BITS Pilani’s annual technical festival, seeking the best minds all over the world to come up with innovative, yet feasible solutions for the common man of our country and change the face of our nation.

A platform for engineers all over the globe to take technology to its destiny.

Though we have remarkably skilled engineers in India, our engineering, innovative and groundbreaking solutions hardly reach to the poor, where it is needed the most. To protract this knowledge to the grassroots, we present to you DHITI(Sanskrit for 'An Idea'), where in, you have to design effective, efficient, feasible and economical modules to curb the potential problems of India. Participants will be provided with certain broad areas and a gist on each of them. Their solutions or models should be targeted at solving the problems faced in those areas.

Come this March, take your

THOUGHTS INTO IDEAS.... 

IDEAS INTO ACTIONS.... 

ACTIONS INTO IMPLEMENTATION....

Your thoughts and ideas can 

  • Change the face of the Country  
  • Make a difference to the poor 
  • Better their lives 
  • But above all, CREATE SMILES!!!

SAHAAYA - Nirmaan Flood Relief & Rehabilitation Camp

Though the memories of the disaster caused due to Tsunami have not been washed out of our minds, another natural calamity in the form of floods in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka has stuck everyone in grief. Many people have lost their living, crops have been completely washed off and most of the villages like Singavaram, Krishnalanka have been entirely marooned.

It’s time to stretch our arms to help the flood victims. Already a lot of people moved for the current situation are helping the victims by providing the basic necessities like food, clothes, and blankets.

Nirmaan is setting up 15 days camp at Singavaram and Niduzuru villages of Kurnool district and planning to help the flood victims. Kurnool town and the nearby villages got completely destructed during the recent floods in Andhra Pradesh.

More than, just relief, we plan to take up the activities which give 'Sustainable Help' to the people.

Few activities include: 

  • Providing sustainable help in livelihoods for 100 Below-Poverty-Line households 
  • Providing books & stationery to 400 government school children 
  • Any request by villagers like providing sanitary and drinking facilities
