1. Mr. Akash Halder One touch EMS
Synopsis:
The evolution of digitalized health care services connects complex intelligent devices and users for executing emergency medical services. Interoperability has trust issues, and privacy has become a matter of delay in providing emergency services to the patients on time. The design refines the healthcare system in transformed form for emergency patients for fast treatment without any hesitation. Blockchain is a game-changing technology and can provide security; trust enables medical solutions. Blockchain has a wide range of applications and uses in healthcare. The ledger technology facilitates the safe transfer of patient medical records, manages the medicine supply chain, and helps healthcare researchers unlock genetic code. The patient sends a request to a hospital through a channel, and it sends a request to the nearest hospitals around the patient’s current location. When some hospital accepts the request of the patients, then it will sign the smart contract that the hospital never leaks the patient public key and medical history and ask the user for an intelligent ambulance service. If the user says yes in response, that hospital sends an ambulance to the patient’s address. Smart ambulances, patients' medical history is all combined with blockchain architecture.
There is also a smart contract for security. In this regard, the proposed system will be deployed using an Ethereum environment with Solidity. The system doesn’t need any third party to negotiate between patients and the provided services from the health organizations.

2. Mr. Arindam Roy Smart Ambulance
Synopsis:
Now a days food delivery and cab transportation very easier as well as less time consuming on time and on location because of GPS. Basically in GPS we can find real time location,Traffic update, easier route etc. As in India every minute’s one person dies because he is not able to reach the hospital in time in normal scenario but in this COVID situation most of the Patient collapses for ‘TIME’ to reach Hospital. The main objective of this project will reduce the time between ambulance driver to Patients and Hospital it will save someone’s life.
When the patient or user will open the user application on his Smartphone and when he click on emergency button given on application it will directly send its location to the ambulance driver which is available nearby him within few seconds.Patient can find the medical facilities provided in ambulance such as oxygen, paramedic etc. We are connecting the ambulance with the IOT which has biomedical sensors like heartbeat rate sensors, temperature sensors, ECG sensors etc that will sense and detect the injured person’s heath conditions and update this information to the nearby hospital server.check all medical condition and update to the hospital also check bed availability and book online.
Because of this application we save time as well as we save as many lives.
KEY FEATURES- REAL TIME OPARATION, ON BOARD MEDICAL TREATMENT, TIME REDUCING, FAST TRACK AND BOOK, ONLINE ADMISSION, FIXED PRICE.

3. Mr. Suporno Sarkar Greenslyd
Synopsis:
Greenslyd will help teachers teach, conduct polls/quizzes, convey important information, hand out study materials - all from the same place. As for students, they will able to login using a link/code given by teachers and then can watch lectures, take tests, receive any kind of notice and study materials, from teachers.
In Greenslyd, we are trying to integrate all kinds of features that a teacher might need from preparing a lesson to conducting tests.
    1. The most obvious one, a canvas to teach and also upload slides or pdf to doodle on it.
    2. Teachers will be able to use video conferencing to teach.
    3. We will have a repository of previous years’ questions of important exams, such as JEE and NEET, which is given by a total of 2.6 million students every year in India. This is not available in any application. Teachers either have to buy a book or else, they have to try to find it on the internet which wastes time.
    4. We will integrate small app widgets like calendar, calculator, class routine viewer.
    5. The teachers can conduct polls and quizzes within the video-conferencing tool.
    6. We are also trying to integrate ready-made animations for various concepts of sciences which no one offers. It will be immensely helpful to students for understanding tough concepts a lot better. And teachers will be able to explain difficult topics with a lot of clarity.

Our main competitors include: ClassPlus, Winuall, Wise and Teachmint.

4. Mr. Abhirup Khan Stitchen. In
Synopsis:
Stitchen.in is a new concept in the tailoring industry. Technology is helping every sector nowadays. And it is helping businesses to reach a new milestone every day. Stitchen.in is a technology-driven doorstep tailoring service provider. Our main idea is to provide a seamless experience for the tailoring. Pickup-Stitching-Delivery all will be done with help of tech. Many startups are doing the same thing, but our planning is to beat them off by using technology in the in-house operations. We will make the process done within a minimum time. Whenever a customer will book, our responsibility will be to deliver them within minimum time.
Use of Technology & Next Level Operations
We are planning to use technology in this operation. From booking a pickup to delivering to customers’ doorstep everything will be done through our Mobile Applications. Our main idea is to develop a mobile application which will be easy to use and within minimum steps, a customer can make a booking.
Our main secret sauce will be in our in-house operations. We have a full plan of how we can make every order fulfilled though they are different in size, style and designs every time. We will also make sure of minimal errors in the operations. Our every process will be done through Human-Software interactions. This will make the operations faster and minimize the error percentage.
Our Unique Selling Propositions
What will be our uniqueness? This might be a big question. Our uniqueness will be our Software, which will be used in our in-house operations. This will make this process easy and we can sustain in the market. Also, our business is scalable because of the technology. We can generate multiple profitable revenue streams from this business.

6. Romance Manna Cultivation and Marketing of High Value Medicinal mushroom, Cordyceps militaris.
Synopsis:Cordyceps militaris is a fungi (mushroom), rarely found in nature. This mushroom has high medicinal value and used in different and pharmaceutical production field.
In this project my research idea to cultivate this mushroom in a controlled lab condition to optimizing the growth and the maximization of fruit body and maintain/increase the Cordycepin value (Cordycepin is the main component found in Cordyceps militaris & used for different purpose). There are several media available for cultivation of this mushroom, but I want to use locally available agro industrial, fruit & vegetable waste for cultivation to reduce the production cost.
In this process there are several step which will be followed for optimization / modification Firstly 3-4 different temperature, pH condition will be provide in cultivation. Secondly, the growth from those condition will be compared and measured with the commercially available growth medium like rice media. Finally to compare the Cordycepin value from the products, we need to do High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) several times.
In this whole study our main focus will be in production of high biomass, commercial aspects/usages of C. militaris (cordycepin) to create a business model and for marketization of this mushroom and to improve the shelf life of this mushroom to use several drying, packaging and storing techniques which will be further developed symentenously.
