 <description>&lt;img class="thumb" src="http://west.gian.org/images/innovation/thumbs/thumb_5bd438d5874efcf58ab126380f3d1ede-354.gif" /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Sheikh Jahangir (48) has made a painting device that can be easily mounted on a two-wheeler scooter and carried to a customer’s place. Deriving power from the two-wheeler’s engine to run the compressor, this device lends flexibility of usage to the painter. Jahangir has been running a small spray painting shop, ‘Khandesh Spray Painters’ in Jalgaon for the past eighteen years. He has ten dependents in his family, his eight children, wife and his mother.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Seed cum Fertilizer Dibbler</title>
 <link>http://west.gian.org/seed_cum_fertilizer_dibbler</link>
 <description>&lt;img class="thumb" src="http://west.gian.org/images/innovation/thumbs/thumb_7b66b1f48630d9efe495d7247e59fe42-348.jpg" /&gt;Sowing of a seed, a beginning for all the life forms. This also triggers the agricultural procedures for the farmers. If not done properly and at right time, this may affect the crop drastically. Hence, farmers adopt different methods and measure to ensure the proper sowing. Rich farmers opt for seed drillers; mounted on tractors for speedy sowing or they employ poor farmers and labors for manual sowing. Poor farmers, who cannot afford the tractors and drillers, they have to do it themselves, manually.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Traditionally and till date, the farmer who has to sow manually, have to dig the land, fill the hole with seed and then cover it back with soil. This all is done sitting. To dig another hole one has to stand up and again sit. This repeated process to sit-stand-sit seems like an unnecessary punishment for the farmers. The other way is to bend, instead of standing. In both the situations, farmer has to face a severe back pain or uneasiness on his back. This process consumes a lot of time.</description>

Innovator came out with the solution and made a fusion of traditional and modern technology. He is master of making clay tawas because it is his family business and he learned the modern technology of Non Stick coating. The combination takes shape of solution, in which he made a Non Stick coating on conventional clay tawa. He used black Non Stick because black colour is a good heat absorber</description>

 <title>Oil Expeller</title>
 <link>http://west.gian.org/oilexpeller</link>
 <description>&lt;img class="thumb" src="http://west.gian.org/images/innovation/thumbs/thumb_73a72c46d0d70837667c2f226fc18b96-276.jpg" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Conventional oil expeller machines using screw press mechanism, the production against unit energy consumption is 55% - 60% less as compared to innovative machine (EX-3). The conventional machines are based on old designs, which do not suit in the modern industry scenario, as they requires more maintenance, space and are not energy efficient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Swastik
Oil Expeller Machine is a novel oil expeller able to crush all kind of oil seeds. It helps in achieving highest production efficiency by providing improved and energy efficient transmission mechanism in a very compact design.&lt;o:p /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-left: 0in;" class="MsoBodyTextIndent"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The energy efficiency of this machine is at
least three times that of any conventional oil expeller existing in Indian and
international markets. Moreover this machine occupies just one-third the&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;space occupied by any other oil
expeller. The maintenance expenditure required on this machine is also much less than that required for other oil expellers. The innovator has received Dr. Vikram Sarabhai Young Scientist Award of Gujarat State as well as National Innovation Foundation award under the energy conservation category for the year 2001.&lt;o:p /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;img class="thumb" src="http://west.gian.org/images/innovation/thumbs/thumb_1f6ab4e016c9391a7e77cf32409766ed-274.gif" /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;The innovator has ingeniously developed matchsticks using natural fibers and a natural binding material.&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Natural fibers are put in order to form a thread like structure. These structures are passed through an
indigenously prepared paste mainly and kept for half and hour and heated for 10-15 minutes to become starch to act as the binding agent..&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify" class="MsoBodyText"&gt;The paste helps in achieving the strength and binding for the matchstick to retain its straight length. The thread is passed through the
starch solution. The starched thread is wound over a cylindrical drum with wooden slabs of width of the matchstick and length along the curved surface of the drum. These planks are provided with slots to cut the threads at uniform lengths. After cutting the threads they are dipped into the phosphorus solution
to coat the tips with the igniting material.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

To avoid the high temperature, one either uses some insulators or some
sort of gadgets, which are very expensive in the market. Tongs are one of the commonly used gadgets used for these purposes. It is basically a utensil-holding device inevitable in any kitchen, laboratory and mechanical workshop. Tongs available on the market are often clumsy and invariable unsatisfactory for the user. In most of the cases they are unreliable and cause accidents.&lt;/span&gt;
