NITW and Lakshya are together funding student-led innovation projects on campus

1. Electricity: The campus has a massive LAN network. Can this be used to connect all the rooms, classrooms, labs etc to measure, control and regulate the electric consumption of various electrical appliances and machines? The college spends lacs per month on electric bills.

2. Transport: At ~260 acres ours is not a large campus. But it is a pain to walk from one end to the other and thats why we have so many bikes (and cars). Can we design a smart, thief-proof bicycle transport system complete with docking stations, trackable/low-maintenance bicycles, and a system that promotes fair use?

3. Connectivity: What is the easiest way to enable wifi connectivity across the campus (all 260 acres of it and a little beyond)? Like working on a miniInternet.org project on campus.
