Tricycle for Paraplegicsby Prof. Nishant Sharma
The Tricycle for Paraplegics project was done by Prof. Nishant Sharma. In India, around ten million people are mobility disabled. They lead under privileged livelihood. This hand tricycle is the result of our efforts towards paraplegic population and provides them with an attractive and self- reliant mobility solution. We have designed this human-powered mobility vehicle which is Light Weight, Modular and Weatherproof. The tricycle offers dual handles for pedalling action to gain higher initial torque and has capability to climb up slopes and move in undulated terrains. Its ergonomic design makes it user friendly in terms of visibility, accessibility, peddling, gear shifting, braking etc. It has added features like seat-adjustability for reach, comfortable footrest with strapping, luggage box and seat belt. We have consciously worked on the image of the product and made it attractive so that the vehicle is not seen as a symbol of sympathy but as a symbol of confidence.

Boat Designby Prof. Unni Mohan Mohanan
Prof. Unni Mohan Mohanan has contributed to the design of boats, with a focus on integrating innovative and user-centric design principles. His work in boat design likely combines functionality, aesthetics, and sustainable materials, taking into account both traditional boat-building techniques and modern engineering practices. Prof. Mohanan's design approach may emphasise ergonomics, efficiency, and environmental impact, ensuring that the boats are suited for their intended environments, whether for transportation, leisure, or specific industry purposes. His background in product design would lend itself to creating boats that are not only practical and efficient but also visually appealing and comfortable for users.
