An Innovation! How it leads to another Innovation?

Interactions and innovations 
 drives New innovations ..... Ramesh Vanapalli 
What We are searching for,  sure it must comes to reach us. If we search for an opportunities, then the opportunities will search for us . Efforts, Enthusiasm and right path  leads us to stand at heights.  Everything reflects with equal magnitude in opposite direction. So my dear students once again I am revealing that Bharat Ratna Dr APJ Abdul Kalam ji said " If we work hard heartfully, one  day dreams will come  true.  Likely , it happened in case of our students who have done great work for environmental sustainability  got a great  opportunity to participate in the National technology week 2023 celebrations held at pragati maidhan , New Delhi from May 11 to 14 th. Our students V Yashaswini 9 th , M . Madhuri and V Vara Prasad along with me had exhibited our Eco-friendly packaging products under Atal Innovation mission pavilion . 
Fig:  Our exhibit corrugated packaging boxes made up of Dry banana stem peels 
Fig: Banana fibre made packaging products are looking best' alternative to paper and plastic .
Paper made corrugated boxes have nearly 10 billion us dollars market per annum in india . If market shift from paper made to banana fibre made, then huge revenue can be created . Farmer can get additional income and also can save the forest in millions hector of area. 
In this technology celebration, 
Students felt very happy to met priminister of India Sri Narendra Modi ji, and eminent scientists who came across the India. It's a first time students got a chance to travel in the aeroplane. Never they have such experience like flying in the sky and facilities provided in the Ashoka hotel. 
I felt that this wonderful experience may create huge motivation among the students towards science and innovation. 
Students got great encouragement from the Dr Satish Reddy ji DRDO farmer chairman and scientific advisor of government of India , Dr Chinthan Vaishnav ji Atal Innovation mission Director and all team members of AIM.  Also we met another precious personality Dr Jagdish Gupta principal scientist, NGRC who is old student of our school. Actually we don't know who is he visited our stall. He saw the a school name on the T shirts which were weared by the students. Then he was asked the students where they came from?  After hearing answer from students he felt surprise . Then him self introduced him as a old student of zphs Dharmavaram. It's a  surprising meet with Gupta ji.  Our Students got great motivation from him. All we  team felt very happy to saw him. He was also surprised and felt very happy and shown lots of affection on the students. 
We learnt and motivated more from the innovation of our Dr Jagdish Gupta ji. He was discovered noval way of fruits and vegetables preservation technology with out using refrigeration process. 
He has used chemical slot which can produce nitrogen oxide continuously and replace the oxygen presence. Due to lack of oxygen, micro organisms doesn't survive. So fruits and vegetables can be look freshly for long time. 
We learnt how the chemistry helps in innovations.
Students thought that why they should not use another simple reaction to avoid oxygen presence in the fruit presentation chamber? Why they should not use different chemical reactions in different purposes?  . In this way students aware about how to use the basic sciences in making new products and innovation 
 s . 
Another precious experience we have got with the scientists who came from ministry of Aeronautics. They have visited our stall twice and guided well. Also they have given task to make light weight seats fit for seating in aeroplane. Those scientist s found very light weighted and strengthen  fibre made from banana stem peels at our stall. Then they have suggested and gave an idea to make light weight seats. This motivation leading our students to take up another project to resolve the problem occurred in aeronautics. Reduction of weight of aeroplane can reduce the fuel consumption and also reduce cost of travel in aeroplane. So our students are going to make light weight seats by using banana stem fibre in dussault systems project competition 2024.
It's surprise thing that one innovation may drive to another Innovation.
Technology week like several interactions are conducting by the different government and non-government organisations. But one thing is true that success of events depends on aquisition mind sets of the participants. 
In this technology week celebration s , our 
Students got a great chance to observe several innovations and start-ups which came from several India's top research agencies and institutions  like DST , DRDO , AIM, ministry of aeronautics, ministry of Agriculture, etc .  They have Got a overall idea about different existing technologies. Also came back with lots of satisfaction and hopes on their future innovations.

ATL Curriculum Framework Workshop: A Collaborative Effort for Future-Ready Education I am pleased to share my experience with the ATL Curriculum Framework Workshop, an initiative driven by UNICEF, Samagra Shiksha, and Vigyan Ashram over the past six months. UNICEF has played a catalytic role in connecting academic experts, technology specialists, and administrators to develop a technology-inclusive curriculum for the next generation of learners. Key Contributors & Phases of the Workshop Several individuals and organizations played a vital role in the successful execution of this initiative: Sheshagiri MK (UNICEF Karnataka), Sudharshan (UNICEF Andhra Pradesh), and Brinda (UNICEF Telangana) provided crucial support. Kishor Gaiquad from Vigyan Ashram contributed technical expertise. Administrators from Samagra Shiksha and SCERT ensured seamless coordination. Over 20 academic experts from Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana participated, contributing significantly to this producti...

Traditional Teaching vs. Constructive Teaching: A Case for Student Engagement

Traditional Teaching vs. Constructive Teaching: A Case for Student Engagement In the conventional schooling system, students are typically evaluated based on their ability to remain calm, score well on tests, and complete routine homework assignments. While this approach rewards those who excel academically and follow instructions diligently, it often neglects students who may not thrive in such rigid environments. This can have detrimental effects, especially on those labeled as "backbenchers"—students who, though equally capable, struggle with traditional academic expectations and fail to receive the necessary encouragement and support. Traditional teaching methods, which often prioritize rote memorization, repetitive homework, and standardized tests, fail to accommodate diverse learning styles. Students who do not excel within this framework are often overlooked, leading to a cycle of low confidence, decreased focus, and negative behavior. The result is a system that benef...
