eating pakodas sans oil: challenging young tech minds

eating pakodas sans oil: challenging young tech minds: In a month’s time, it will start raining. Many of us will then relish pakodas with a cup of tea in the moist evening. Can we then wish to have pakodas without oil sticking to them, conscious as we all are now a days about cholesterol and excessive oil. Is there a household device which will remove the oil from the hot pakodas? How about designing such a device and have in return a visit to USA. Well incentives matter, and non-material incentives matter even more. An exposure to good labs and technical centres around the world can be a good driver for creative efforts by students. Dr Sudhir Jain and his team at IIT Gandhinagar has mobilised the creative potential of undergraduate students in a manner that many Institutes may not yet have realised. He has invited various outstanding experts to throw changes at the students, no matter, of which year. And the result has been quite astounding.
