| 1 | Project Title : DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED KIOSK FOR SAMPLE COLLECTION FROM PATIENTS WITH PROTECTIVE SHIELD
Expected Outcome : • To prepare automated protective shield based kiosk for health workers while collecting throat, nasal/oral swab and blood samples collection • To prepare a facility for patient and health worker using automated sanitization with disinfectants after each patient leave from the kiosk. • To prepare inbuild rapid test facility along with data base management system inside the kiosk with a protective shield Expected Timeline : 10 months Remarks : The main motive for the development of automated kiosk is to provide protection of health workers and collect samples as well as test it in a rapid manner. Kiosk may be movable and can be shifted to the hotspot zone for quick diagnosis. Infection should not spread with the health worker community who are the main warrior at the time of pandemic situation. This kiosk can be installed outside of the hospital so that unknown positive COVID-19 patients should not infect the hospital area at the time of sample collection. Kiosk will be more cost-effective and automated so that it may reduce the use of other PPE. Funding requirement: Rs 16 lakhs for the initial stage of research and preparation of prototype. After preparation of final product expecting that single kiosk will be within Rs 30,000 – 40,000/- URL : https://www.nitap.ac.in/ PI Details : Dr. Saikat Kumar Jana, Department of Biotechnology, NIT, Arunachal Pradesh # Dr. Prases Kumar Mohanty, Department of Mechanical Engineering # Dr. Subhasish Banerjee, Department of Computer Science PI Email id : saikat@nitap.ac.in |

| 2 | Project Title : An Intelligent DRONE based Sanitizing Sprayer (Robots)
Expected Outcome : The drone based sanitizing sprayer will be helpful to sanitize the infected public places like bus stands, railway stations and hospitals without human intervention. Also it includes the areas where human accessibility is very difficult. Expected Timeline : 12 Months Remarks : Funding Requirement for development of the prototype for testing and real time validation- Rs.5 Lakh.

Personal Protective Care Equipment |
| 6 | Project Title : Fabrication of biodegradable material for personal protective care equipment's.
Expected Outcome : Personal protective care equipment's (PPCEs) plays a vital role in preventing transmission of viruses during epidemics. These protective equipment’s consists of garments such as gloves, mask, gown or coverall which are used to protect the health care workers. Apart from the treatment centers, they are also used by persons related to activities like waste management, cleaning and community care works related during the outbreak. The expected outcome from the present investigation is the fabrication of biodegradable material for personal protective care equipment’s having antibacterial and fluid-resistant properties. The methodology to be followed for the fabrication of the biodegradable material for PPCEs is shown in Figure 1. It consists of converting the extracted bamboo fibre into bamboo charcoal embedded bamboo fibre yarn for fabricating the biodegradable material for PPCEs treated with antibacterial and fluid-resistant agents. Expected Timeline : Six months Remarks : The existing materials used for the personal protective equipment (PPE) account for up to 20% of solid waste. Also, the majority of this waste is not biodegradable. Moreover, down-cycling, upcycling or recycling of the cleanroom garments and gloves are not recommended because of the adverse effects associated with it. It is extremely important for fabricating ecofriendly and sustainable material for PPCE’s. Bamboo being one of the easily available and economical natural fibre available in the state of Arunachal Pradesh can go a long way for producing biodegradable materials for various PPCE’s. These materials can be used for producing various PPCE’s which can be used by the frontline workers during any epidemic situation and can be easily disposed off, thus minimizing waste and without affecting the environment.

| 7 | Project Title : Gel-based hand Sanitizer developed from Tea plant extract oil
Expected Outcome : Our main goal to produce this product was to ease up the shortage of hand sanitizer and “Alcohol rub sanitizer” which helps to keep away coronavirus as advised by WHO. Our hand sanitizer was gel-based and prepared during the crisis for mass use in order to decrease infectious agents on the hands. It is generally more effective in killing microorganisms and have better portability than soap and water Expected Timeline : One week (Already done) Remarks : Project initiated and completed. The sanitizers are not for commercial purposes but to protect the faculties and staffs in our institute when the inadequate supply of hand sanitizers is jeopardizing the crusade against the deadly virus.
