An idea to have a seed container, which can detect the growth of organismby detecting increase in temperature of the container and alert.

WheneverDeepti’s mother stored food grains,pests, insects and micro-organisms used to attack the grains, damaging them.“We would not come to know if the stored grains got affected by pests.To solve this problem, I thought of a way to determine growth of germs in the stored grains.Then, I decided to study the activities of the germs through an increase in temperature inside the bin.
The understanding that metabolism produces heat helped me develop the idea of a seed container, which can indicate the growth of organisms inside it, thereby detecting the increase in temperature of the container and thus, alert the user,” says Deepti, whose father is handicapped and runs a small hotel in a village. Hermother is a homemaker and Deepti has an elder brother, who is studying.

“I want to be a banker when I grow up so that I can help my family with my income. As we are very poor and depend upon the income of my disabled father,I focus only on my studies, rather than playing or keeping hobbies,” says Deepti. She has a habit of keeping newspaper cuttings on new machines and innovations.

When Deepti showed her working model to her parents, they were very happy and proud. “I believe that in spite of all odds, we should march forward. My friends and other people around us are giving us a lot of attention because of my innovation,” says Deepti, who believes that she can do whatever she wishes sincerely from her heart.
