For the 2.0 version, I modified the project while keeping India’s air pollution issue in mind, realizing the role of crop residue burning. Crop residue, if mixed with human faeces, increases the calorific value of biogas – the farmers need not burn it. This improved on the previous version of the toilet, where the solid waste by itself produced a low calorific value because of its high nitrogen content. 

In India, the sensor-based mobile van will provide a solution to open defecation. The human excreta along with pre-treated crop residue will provide biogas to citizens and the electricity from urine will power houses, tube wells, and street lights. 

Dr JPS Dabas, Senior Scientist, Indian Agricultural Research Institute guided me and I visited urban slums and villages to extend the scope of my project

1.The mobile toilet 2.0 was the National Winner of the ATL Tinkering Marathon 2017. 

2. I was the only school student selected to pitch my project for the Road to Global       Entrepreneurship Summit 2017 in front of a 1000+ gathering.

3. Project featured in ATL Marathon’s Top 30 Innovations booklet released by NITI Aayog,   Govt. Of India, 2018 

4. My Article on “Innovation in a New India” was published in the March 2018  Newsletter   of the Atal Innovation Mission.
