This is an exciting technical competition where your imagination, analytical skills and technical expertise will be challenged and stretched. You will be competing with India's finest technical schools and will get the opportunity to present your mettle before senior scientists, engineers and leaders of one of the world's most admired companies (GE). The Edison Challenge is to design an innovative technological solution to the energy requirements of a community of moderate or medium size. The energy requirements for households and institutions in rural or semi-urban communities are diverse - electrical, thermal, mechanical, etc. There are also several natural and other resources that are available as potential sources of energy. These may be underutilized or, at times, overexploited. The crucial need is for solutions that demonstrate their practical feasibility and ability to scale up to the required levels. The Techno Entrepreneurial Promotion Program (TEPP) wing of the Dept. of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Govt. of India will recognize the 20 finalists of the GE Edison Challenge 2009 with seed money of Rs. 20,000 for "Proof of concept".
