The quest for sustainable energy storage solutions has ignited a revolutionary paradigm shift in the realm of energy technology. Among these innovations, the Sand Battery, an energy storage device, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and nature-inspired engineering. This innovative device harnesses the untapped potential of one of Earth's most abundant resources: sand.

 At its core, the Sand Battery relies on the principles of thermodynamics to convert electrical energy into heat differentials Its design is ingeniously simple yet remarkably effective, consisting of two key components: the hot and cold sand reservoirs separated by a sophisticated separator. The resulting temperature gradient invokes the effect, liberating electrons and generating a substantial potential heat.

 In a world transitioning towards renewable energy sources, the Sand Battery emerges as a lighthouse, guiding us toward a future where our energy needs can be met efficiently and sustainably. It symbolizes the harmonious convergence of nature and technology, maybe offering an eco-friendly, economically viable, and technologically superior solution to our energy storage conundrum. Moreover, its scalability and low cost make it a viable solution for large-scale energy storage, further solidifying its position as a game-changer in the field of renewable energy.

Air pollution in high-density traffic areas refers to the elevated levels of harmful pollutants, such as exhaust emissions and particulate matter, resulting from the concentration of vehicles in urban or congested regions. This pollution poses significant health risks and environmental challenges, necessitating targeted mitigation efforts and transportation planning. This project aims to explore the various aspects of air purification, considering the current facts and advancements in the field. The escalating issue of air pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems and calls for effective filtering strategies. By examining the collection, sorting, preprocessing, and filtering technologies, this presentation highlights the importance of air pollution and its potential to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future.

We can overcome this growing pollution with our air filter. In the already existing light poles and billboards, we can install our air filter that is not only compact but also energy-efficient. A small air filter also has many benefits, which include consuming less space during installation. Also, India is developing into digital India, so the static billboards are being converted into digital billboards; where we can install our air filter. Air purification will take place in two ways: HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) and Titanium dioxide technology. For more sustainability, we can generate electricity by solar energy.

The problem of packaging waste in the goods industry is harming the environment. We have a solution called the ECOBOT, a smart recycling machine. It deals with pollution caused by unmanaged packaging waste, especially plastics. Our current waste systems are not enough, so we need a new approach.

The ECOBOT is special because it rewards people for recycling. When you put plastic into it, you get some money based on the market price for recycling that material. For example, metal bottles or cans give you more money than plastic bottles. This machine uses advanced technology and gets the community involved. It turns waste into a resource. ECOBOT can change the goods industry and make it greener. It also encourages individuals to help the environment.

Youths are uneducated in most part of villages in India. According to the report, nearly 90 percent of NEET young women compared to just 7.3 per cent of NEET men reported that they were attending to domestic duties when asked about the activities they were engaged in during the seven days preceding the date of the survey The unemployment rate among the youth (15-29 years) in urban India fell during the fourth quarter of 2022-23, but it still remained elevated at 17.3 percent against 18.6 percent in the third quarter. 

Some of the reasons as to why the current solutions are not working : Effective implementation of programs at the ground level can be challenging due to administrative inefficiencies, lack of resources, and corruption. Even when skills training programs are available, there may be a mismatch between the skills imparted and the skills demanded by the job market. While public initiatives play a crucial role, greater involvement and investment from the private sector are often needed to create sustainable employment opportunities. Initiatives promoting entrepreneurship are essential, but the ecosystem supporting startups and small businesses, including access to funding, mentorship, and a favorable regulatory environment, may be underdeveloped in some areas. Economic development and employment opportunities are not evenly distributed across India. Urban areas tend to have more opportunities than rural areas, leading to migration from rural to urban centers in search of employment.

 Hence with a suitable business model prioritizing each and every stakeholder, ensuring proper distribution of resources and including a corruption free system we can prevent such problems.

Background

Dumping damages the environment. Land, water and air pollution in the neighborhood are primarily caused by dumping. By this waterways the groundwater and soil will be contaminated.

Due to this improper waste disposal can have adverse health effects on human as over the years it has been responsible for causing several diseases and in some cases even death.

Impact

Unhygienic environment in the town, vegetable market is the major problem face by the public in  Sakleshpura.
