Kandor - The Space Settlement

Team members - Simran, Chinmay Chahar, Sonamsi

Abstract - Kandor aimed to create a human settlement in the orbital region of the moon. It also mentioned that the advancement in space research has made the human species curious and we want to explore more every day. Every day thousands of people are born and the requirement of resources keeps increasing. So, the space settlement is a great plan to fulfill all the needs and it leads to discoveries. The scope of the project is the execution of the drafted plan, more research, and discoveries towards setting up Kandor.

Impact of AR on Science and Education

Team Members - Mahak Garg, Rishija Shrivas, Saloni Rai, Sulekha Bansal, under the guidance of Ms. Nikita Jain

Abstract: Though our Physical World is three-dimensional, educational institutions prefer to use two- dimensional media in education due to which most of the time students lack practical knowledge, critical thinking, and meaning-making processes. Since we are living in a competitive world, it is necessary to adopt technology in Education in order to influence students to easily acquire and remember the information. In this research paper, we will be discussing an emerging technology termed Augmented Reality, How it works and How it will enable us to overcome the drawbacks of the current education system and skill training. Further, we will be discussing how the teaching-learning process could be made interesting using this technology and how AR can be utilized for E-learning as well.

Ecohydrological Perspective for Environmental Degradation of Lakes and Wetlands in Delhi

Team Members - Anindita Sarkar Chaudhuri, Nischal Gaur, Pragya Rana, Pallavi & Pradipika Verma

The lakes are important ecological units in urban ecosystem which preserve local climate, groundwater, and biodiversity. The unplanned continuous population growth in urban area causing severe destruction to the urban ecosystem across the world. The lake in urban areas provides many functional advantages, they play a vital role in flood management, and are related to the underground water quantity and quality, they preserve the biodiversity and habitat of surrounding area, and they are huge areas of urban heat sinks within incessant built-up area. Delhi the capital of India is around 97% urbanised and home for around 26 million people, which is situated over the Yamuna watershed. To make this city sustainably resilient it is important to study about the hydrological sustainability of the city, which is deteriorating with every passing year. Encroachment, pollution, rapid urban growth, dispersal of solid waste, pumping for drinking water is some of the anthropogenic activities which intensifies the reduction of these hydrological units. Between 1970–2009 around 108 lakes were lost, in between 2009–2013 around 230 lakes have been lost and cannot be revived. Those which still exists are in terrible condition, all the lakes are dying silently which results in serious depletion of groundwater and impacting the ecology. Taking into the consideration of all above facts the present study is an attempt to create an inventory for current status of the lakes and wetlands using remote sensing and GIS techniques and their ecohydrological consequences on the surrounding environment. For the study Six lakes have been identified from different part of Delhi, which are on verge to devastating if not provided with immediate attention. Time series satellite images from LISS-III and Survey of India maps of 1:50,000 were used for the study.
