Posters on novel solutions to myriad problems
The Free Press Journal
|November 22, 2024
Posters on novel solutions to myriad problems - from water pollution to skull fracture detection - were on display at Bengaluru Tech Summit that concluded here on Thursday.
The attention that their college project got at the 27th Bengaluru Tech Summit took friends, college mates and fellow researchers Agampodi Sandalinupama De Zoysa, Akshaya P R, Thejas M and Koushiki by surprise.
Representing Jain Deemed to be University's department of Life Sciences, the young researchers had submitted their project for the Bio Posters competition of the Bengaluru Tech Summit.
"We had proposed using glucomannan, a plant-derived polysaccharide, which is used frequently in food industry, for sanitary pads, because we figured out it offers many advantages, the most crucial of them all is the fact that it is biodegradable," said Zoysa, the lead researcher who is from Sri Lanka.
Even considering that used sanitary pads are a biohazard waste and a problem that most governments are looking to solve, the young researchers said they were overwhelmed by the response they got in two days.
