US$6000 (Rs.4 lacs) Prize for Udaipur Students Project by Intel Corporation, USA

It was the time for students of Udaipur based engineering college Techno India NJR Institute of Technology to make a splash on international technology scene. World’s biggest chip maker Intel Corporation of USA organised a Hackathon with a challenge to   build innovative devices to improve human life. Thousands of entries were received for this challenge from all over the world.      

3 students of Techno NJR  Electronics and Communication branch  took this challenge and decided to create a device to improve quality of water in Udaipur lakes and wells. First step to improve is to measure  water quality . Traditional way to measure quality of water is to take sample of water from the lake and do the testing  in a laboratory  where you get results next day. And it  was not done regularly. Also data on quality of water remained with authorities and laboratories only.

techno india njr students

These students decided to create an Internet of Things (IoT)  device which could measure water quality continuously without taking water sample and also  share results  with everyone through an App so that so that every Udaipurite can contribute in improving quality of lake Water.

So this is what they did

They created a box and installed 4 sensors to measure following four parameters of Water quality “

  1. Temperature
  2. PH
  3. Turbidity
  4. Dissolved oxygen

They also installed a data logger to collect all readings of these sensors and also added a solar panel to supply power to the box. They connected  this system to IBM Bluemix cloud to store the data on quality of water sent  every half an hour  by the sensors. They also used IBM Watson to analyse this continuous data to create reports and graphs and created an App  called Lake Monitoring System ( available on Google Play Store ) through which anyone in the world can see quality of water in Udaipur lakes on live basis. 

This will help in authorities and Udaipur lake lovers in improving the quality of water by taking suitable measures. If Ph is increasing it will imply that some water from sewage is coming in lakes. Dissolved oxygen level indicates suitability of this water for fishes and fauna in the lake. If dissolved oxygen level is low it can be improved by installing aerators. 

For this highly valuable project  students Ritwik Dave, Roshni Mehta and Himmat Khatik won second prize of US$ 5000 and Best Student project of US$ 1000 in Intel Hacks 2017 for their entry – Smart Well Monitoring System . This system has been installed by the students at Fatehsagar lake in Udaipur . 

As a highly gracious and commendable gesture, students have offered to use Prize money of Rs.4 lacs to make 6 more systems like these and install them in other six lakes of Udaipur so that Government authorities and general public can see water quality of all 7 lakes through one App on their mobile. Computer Science students Ritwik Joshi and Vansh Soni designed the dashboard and the App based on IBM Bluemix and IBM Watson platform. You can see the system at:

Project was mentored by  Prof. Pradeep C. & Dr. Jonathan Joshi  on IoT side and Aaditya Maheshwari on Cloud and Analytics .

UdaipurBlog congratulates these students for this useful device which will help Udaipur keep it’s lakes pristine and clean.

This Software For Returning GST Returns Is Easy To Crack All Your Tax Deeds

One nation, one imposed tax to direct? Not quite, not yet.

Everywhere there is a boom of GST i.e. Goods & Services Tax in India, which headed its lead on 1st July 2017. A multistage, destination-based tax, GST is now levied on every value addition. This indirect tax throughout the nation is anticipated to make India one unified common market.

Now, when we look deep into the comparison of GST, it is entirely different from the existing system. Currently, the central government imposes excise duty on the manufacture and then VAT (Value Added Tax) when the item is sold at the next stage in the cycle.

Therefore, from processed raw material to be manufactured into finished product there would be a VAT at the next point of sale. And, then the final product is sold to the dealership, then to the consumer and so on.

Whereas, if you take a look at GST, it is dual layered tax system with both central and state tax imposed on the same base on all the goods & services.

Software Lineup

Udaipur software

Now, there is a difficulty and a common query in everyone’s mind, How to calculate GST and file returns? As, it’s little hard for almost every business person, CA, CS and job worker to adopt this taxation on short notice. But, on the other aspect, it is necessary to work and buck up with the benefits of the new tax system. This can be only possible by adopting new technology in your day-to-day business.

Fairpencil – An initiative in the field of Architecture

According to Henri Matisse, “Creativity takes courage.” And, when it comes to leading with artistic skills people from Udaipur are never limited to a backend.

Graduate from Dr. DY Patil College of Architecture, Pune, Yatish Jain is born and brought up in Udaipur. But his enthusiasm and background of dealing with buildings encouraged him to develop something in response to growing architectural needs and problems faced by many in designing.

This was the core that made him began his journey from Arihant Property Dealers to FairPencil. And, while knowing about his online vision to help future and existing architects, we also learned many things in thoughtful conversations.

What is FairPencil and how it is helpful to people?

“It is an initiative created with an aim to give all type of ideas and details about the designing of a house and other spaces. Initially, if you will take a look at FairPencil, we intend to add guidelines, blogs, and even more for the people who are related to designing of space and construction. Or, the ones who are thinking to construct and design their house in an entirely new way.

In the base of FairPencil, we are starting with the FairPencil calculator, design blog, and Vastu Blog to let people confront with all the details of new construction and renovations.

In an aspect of change, FairPencil includes an idea of connecting all people related to the field of architecture and design. At our platform, they can contribute with their time and knowledge to increase the reach of their ideas into the community of their similar interests.”

What are FairPencil Calculator, Design Blog, and Vastu Blog defining exactly on your platform?

“The concept of FairPencil is entirely dedicated to the genre related to design & architecture. Students who are new to the field of construction, studying in architecture school or college and willing to create spaces creatively can take help from our blog. That’s why all the sections are specified accordingly for their convenience like

Fair Pencil Calculator is a free plot area measurement architectural calculator that works as a tool to figure out and fix requirements of the project in given area. With its help, it is simple to measure the inbuilt areas like the garden, parking, and the building spaces as a number or rooms and their sizes.

It’s self-explanatory to use, and at the end, it gives the outcome of all the values entered in this calculator.

Whereas, when you look into Design and Vastu blog section, both reflect ideas of designing any home with general needs, which are required for the outline of most types of buildings by utilising defined Vastu. As when you see the importance of Vastu is evident in construction for increasing positive energy, sacredness, and grandness of the structure.”

Fair Pencil by Yatish Jain

Is there any special trait that makes FairPencil different from other blogs with the same concept?

“Yeah! FairPencil is one of its kind till now in Udaipur. As, most of all when it comes to architecture, students who are interested in studying designing & construction and the existing architects, who are looking for new ideas to construct spaces probably don’t find enough help online. And, other well-known architects & interior designers have blogs but on their sites, which are also hard to peek into again & again.

So, this is also a place where architectures can share their knowledge and let people reach them through a single scale.”

So, any plans FairPencil is looking to set-up further?

“Right now, on a starting base, we are enhancing our sections i.e. FairPencil Calculator, Design, and Vastu Blog. But, soon, we will be expanding to many different tools and also launch of our application through which people can get a base directly on mobile.”
Well! Yatish, we wish you good luck for your blog with a unique perspective. This is now in turn quite of a lead for architects, interior designers, and for the one who is introduced newly to architecture to reach the maximum number of people through a single platform.
