DEI SUCCEED DEI Start Up Commencing Centre for Emerging Entrepreneurs of Dayalbagh
Introduction:
Skill development and entrepreneurship has been an integral part in the Education
system of DEI, since its inception in 1917. In accordance with the lofty goal of
Government of India for promoting vocational skill education, DEI has started several
vocational courses to participate in Nation building through skill education and eventually
imparting impetus to entrepreneurship. The modern age tools of tinkering labs, living
labs and mobile labs imbibe general awareness and induce interest among students at
school level. The values of rich Indian culture are sowed in young children through
school of Art and Culture, Music School and School of Languages.
Besides the conventional education system, students have opportunity to learn
and promote their hobbies as skill through Modular Courses starting from class VII
onwards. Centre for Applied Rural Technology and Deen Dayal Upadhyay Kaushal
Kendra serve as skill infusing organizations. Even students with prior learning and basic
school level qualifications can be benefitted by lateral and diagonal transitions possible
from Modular Course level to Graduation level to PhD.
DEI took a quantum leap in entrepreneurship development benefitting masses
from tribal belts to international level through well established Labs and skill parks
namely Automotive workshops, Apparel and toy manufacturing association and Agro&
Dairy business avenues. Community entrepreneurship and societal contribution are
imbibed in values and teachings of Dayalbagh. Entrepreneurial avenues like agriculture,
Dairy, Textile Manufacturing etc. has gained popularity in no time among students
seeking skill development and entrepreneurial guidance. Unique schemes like earn
while you learn are providing financial support while pursuing education to needy
students and provides them better learning with concept of disposal of duties and
shouldering responsibilities for self reliance. A super intelligent marketing network,
connecting rural economic zones to state economic zones to international markets laid a
sturdy foundation for deprived rural masses to sell their products, nationally and
internationally. E-portals and business advisory clinics help in organized operation and
establishment of entrepreneurial avenues for novices and young entrepreneurs. The
Curriculum has Village Industries and Entrepreneurship, Agriculture Operations and
Social Service as integral part and are compulsory core courses for students of all
branches. The institute has already implemented schemes like Earn-while-you-learn,
EVIC-Entrepreneurship Virtual Incubation Cell. All these facts make the Institute a fertile
ground for advanced entrepreneurial activities.
To enhance the effectiveness of above mentioned endeavors and to provide
need specific support to those with entrepreneurial aspirations, DEE SUCCEED has
been established as a pre-incubating startup cell. Through the Cell, it is intended to build
a strong eco-system for nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship and thus contribute to

IEEE R10 HTC Young Professionals Track
A Meetup was organized by the IEEE R10 Young Professionals community on 23rd December 2016 at Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Agra, India. It was organized as a parallel track in the IEEE R10 Humanitarian Technology Conference 2016 and saw a participation of about 40 people.
It started off with a talk by Dr. MGPL Narayana, IEEE Region 10 Vice Chair – Professional Activities, who talked about The Digital Revolution and its implications in everyday life. With the dawn of digital technologies, we are in the early stages of significant changes leading us into the age of “Systems”. The machine age which has industrial revolution as its counterpart is now giving way to “Systems Age” having automation and AI as its technological counterparts? “The Rise of the Robots” and Machine Learning technologies are causing unemployment so much so in about thirty years, half of world population will be out of jobs according to a report. As one computer scientist put it, "We are approaching a time when machines will be able to outperform humans at almost any task. I believe that society needs to confront this question before it is upon us: if machines are capable of doing almost any work humans can do, what will humans do?” In the years to come life could be absolute leisure with no work and this could be death knell for human survival, particularly if the developing technology is not kept as a good servant. These sentiments were echoed when Stephan Hawking had said that AI, if left unchecked, "could spell the end of the human race". Elon Musk also sounded that future advancements in AI could be akin to "we are summoning the demon". In order to understand the revolution we are experiencing we need to look more closely at the concepts, ideas and philosophies that are shaping the evolving world view. This calls for a shift in our thinking that is required as the world unfolds around us in this “Systems Age”. The globalized world is a giant social system, interdependent and interconnected (hyper connected). So our approaches to understand and solve problems cannot be based on mechanistic view of the world, hitherto followed. If we are complacent and maintain status quo on how we think and act in a reactive mode, there will be “degradation of our quality of life, if not our standard of living”. As we move into the systems age, we need to supplement our high tech abilities, with thinking abilities that are high concept (systemic ideas, detecting patterns, creativity) and high touch (empathize, purpose and meaning).
It was followed with talks by Vidyadhar Prabhudesai, Co-founder – LeadCap Ventures, who talked about his venture, Smart Eye and Dr. Bhuvam Vikram, Superintendent – Archaeological Survey of India who spoke about the technological measures taken by ASI to protect archaeological monuments.
A new initiative, IEEE Young Professionals – Spotlight Sessions, was also introduced where Young Professional members Heena Rathore and Salman Nizarudin talked about their experiences with IEEE over the past years.
The last session of the track was led by Nivas Ravichandran, IEEE R10 Young Professionals Co-ordinator, who gave the participants an overview of activities being conducted by the community throughout Asia Pacific. He also conducted a brainstorming activity to engage members and seek feedback on how the activities could be tailored to benefit members.
The track ended with Lunch and Networking in the gardens of Dayalbagh Educational Institute.
Hackathon/Makethon – Hacking for Humanity A 3 day IEEE IR event at IEEE HTC 2016
IEEE conferences tend to be academic in nature, with limited industry and student interaction. This year
in the IEEE R10 Humanitarian Technologies Conference 2016, we launched a unique initiative that has
seldom been a part of IEEE Conferences - A hackathon/makethon. A hackathon/Makethon offers the
opportunity to bring together the best of
• Academia – latest technology and research ideas. Bringing theoretical concepts to real world
through building prototypes.
• Industry – state of the art engineering and design concepts, science in action. A platform
where the academic and student community provides new ideas and new talent to fuel
the next generation of their products and service offerings
• Students – motivated, enthusiastic next generation leaders of technology. This event offers access
to cutting edge technology, which helps them gain hands on technical skills in line with industry
trends
This co-mingling of new ideas, new technology and new talent is different from anything ever done at
IEEE conferences before and is the way forward in our fast changing technological society. With this in
mind, with Texas Instrument’s support and sponsorship we opened up this event to all the students in
IEEE R10 region and received well over 150 registrations and 70 finally participated.
It is fitting that this event is taking place at the Dayalbagh Educational Institute, where the institute’s
forward thinking education policies stress hands-on, holistic and interdisciplinary value-based education.
It could not have been more appropriate that the conference theme of Smart Cities and Sustainable
Development: Sigma 6Q, was chosen as the broad area of focus. This presented some interesting problem
statements, which the Hackathon/Makethon participants used to build solutions/product ideas. It
represented how the next generation of IEEE members and our student members will be indispensable in
our search for sustainable solutions to some of the major, existential problems that lie before us – climate
change, unprecedented pollution, population growth, diseases and epidemics, and natural disasters.
The event was conducted from 21st to 23rd of December, 2016 at DEI Multimedia Extn. It was a rigorous
prototyping camp where the 70 participants from various prestigious institutions like IIT Kanpur, IIT
Roorkee, MSIT, DEI etc. worked to create innovative proto types and software solutions.
Day 1: The event was inaugurated by the President of
IEEE, Prof. Barry L Shoop. He spoke about the role of
the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) in Humanitarian Technologies for fostering a
sustainable way of life. Expert talks on the pre-defined
Sigma 6Q topics were given by the mentors wherein
the participants were given an idea of the existing
technologies in each field and how they can think of
new problems to solve and develop a final working
model.
Post lunch, the Hackathon phase started off with a
student orientation session. The students were
introduced to the procedure and guidelines of the
event. The mentors then familiarized them with the TI
technology which helped them to transform their ideas
into real time working models.
Day 1 ended with a clear problem statement and a block diagram and work flow chart that they could
build up on.
Day 2: The prototype phase-I started with the students working on the hardware interfacing part. At the
end of the day most teams had a basic frame work or concept working. However, a few teams were
battling with interface, mobile apps or Web based apps to create the right user interface and ability to
control.
Day 3: Students were able to finish their
prototypes, create a set up to
demonstrate working models. By noon,
the teams were ready for an exhibition
at the seminar complex hall for the
attendees to see the results of the 2 day
work. Of the 13 teams that participated,
a team of 5 judges comprising of Chief
Guest of the Valedictory Function, Dr
Ajoy Bhattacharya (MD, National Green
Highway Mission, Government of India),
IEEE R10 office bearers and DEI senior staff picked 6 teams as winners based on a very elaborate ranking
criteria that included relevance to theme to final product feasibility.

Abstracts of winning projects:
Efficient Water Management Water is a big problem: Today, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and fisheries accounted for 13.7% of the GDP (gross domestic product) in 2013, about 50% of the workforce. We have come up with an Efficient Water supply management System
in which adequate amount of water will be used, based on the crop, time during the crop cycle and in a drip irrigation way and not flood.
Real Time Automatic Plougher and Sower(R.A.P.S.) Nowadays farmers face problem in getting adequate labour. This system will reduce labour work of farmers and help in increasing the preciseness in seed sowing system. The system is a robotic vehicle that facilitates ploughing fields and sowing seeds without human intervention.
Park IT Majority of the Traffic problem is due to improper parking system. In India 25% Accidents are due to improper parking in Metro Cities. This prototype consists of a mobile app and hardware unit that helps user book the parking slot in real time. This system will solve daily life parking problem faced by people in Metro cities. This system will allow you to register your vehicle number in the parking system through mobile app. The system will also notify you about the available parking space nearby.
Sound of Silence Speech impaired people always face difficulty in communicating and socializing with people around them. The system recognizes gestures of speech impaired people and convert them into sound signals. Hence this system helps speech impaired people to communicate effectively with the people around them. This will overall create a change in their day to day life.
ATM (Any Time Medicine) We come across long queues around medical shops and at times there is an early shutdown of medical shops. This causes inconvenience to public who require medicines in urgency. The project aims at providing medicine anytime and anywhere. This system helps to get the medicine you require in case of emergency. Tap on the medicine of your choice and you can pay by scanning QR code. In case the medicine is not available a message will be displayed to convey the same.
Smart cycle sharing system Going from one place to another in big educational, corporate and community campus is very time consuming. The density of vehicles is exponentially rising not only causing health related issues, but also rising environmental concerns. The complete system consists of GPS based tracking device that helps in real time tracking of bicycle. The user has an option to pre-book the cycle through mobile app.
The hackathon/Makethon event was very well appreciated by the students, invited speakers and the
delegates of IEEE HTC 2016. Though the participating student was a mix of Engineering (1st year through
4th year), Diploma in Electronics and IT, B.Sc in Computer Science, BBA and MBA, each member of the
team contributed his best towards the project. Texas Instruments was also very helpful in leaving more
than 75% of the equipment, boards, ICs etc. with D.E.I. in order for the students to continue to benefit
and work on projects that could take shape into a product.
