Project Brief:
The plight of marginal farmers is well knows. Most of them depending on the income from rainfed agriculture. Falling in a debt trap with the local money lender is a common sight. Government support may be just enough to keep the farmers breathing. Many regions in India are recording famers suicide. We plan to create a farmer training and support facility to improve their economic wellbeing. The idea is to develop functional models in a live farm of 2 to 3 acres where Farmers can learn and replicate the ideas to improve their income, improve their yield per acre and water conservation. We plan to tweak these models to make it native, local and easily adaptable by the farming community. So depending on the chosen location, the models for income, improving yield and water conservation can vary.

The proposed farmer training and support centre is one-of-a- kind in the area and the facility can become a pivot in improving the livelihood of the farmers. Further the awareness on the best practices can promote the environment sustainability.
Deliverable/Outcome
a. Ready to use training infrastructure with models.
b. 500 farmers and community members trained on environment sustainability.
c. 100 farmers supported to create impact on their income
Quantitative Impact
The plan is to support 100 farmers in terms of improving their livelihood. Then train at least 500 farmers and community members trained on Environment sustainability. 1 Facility with 20+ live models is created and maintained for a year.

Bangalore Urban and Rural districts falls in the water stressed geography. Tree plantation is one of the critical initiative to improve the rainfall and raise water table. We are looking at tree plantation, supporting farmers to improve their livelihood and awareness creation through Vidya Vriksha - a nature garden in schools as a part of the project and at least 1 Miyawaki forest at a suitable place.
Key objectives
a. To plant 2000 trees and maintain it for a year

Innovation center for applied education
Project Name: Innovation center for applied education
Implementing Partner: Mantarlee Social Innovations Federation
Support Amount: INR 30,000,00/-
Location: Bangalore
Period: 1 years
Project Brief:
The proposed lab will be implemented and managed by < Department of college > under < Trust or Society name>. We have challenges in increasing employability of the students owing to various challenges like absence of constant collaboration with industry, lack of hands on experience on latest technologies with faculties and lack of continuous support to students for practical projects. Our plan is to set-up applied innovations lab to provide exposure on Robotics, 3D printing, IoT and Data Science along with access to licensed application based learning system. The system comes with a super teacher program and also self learning capabilities for students. The lab set-up and the structured systematic exposure can make students job ready with innovation and problem solving capabilities.
