Name Auto Air Kick Pump
Innovator Shri Arvindbhai Patel
Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Description A very easy to operate "Do-it-Yourself ” device is the most handy tool for the bike owners.

This innovation is a low cost, portable, compact aid to inflate tyre tubes/punctures of any vehicle, particularly two-wheelers, having kick start or auto start mechanism. One can fix the problem on the spot so that the vehicle can reach the nearby gas station or repair shop.
This device converts the compressor of two-wheeler into an air pump. A pinch of polymer granules is also inserted in the tube to seal the leakage. The user can kick and fill air in the tube. This may last for a few kilometers to reach a puncture repairing shop. An entrepreneur from Mumbai has taken non-exclusive license for this technology and has sold more than 5000 pieces so far, mainly in North Eastern India.
Technical Features On the spot air pressure check.

Instant air filling while low pressure.

In case of puncture tyre, temporary air filing to reach out to a distance.

On the spot permanent repair for the punctured tyre.

50% -60% Prevention of the air leaking out while punctured.

Name Buttonhole machine
Innovator Shri Anil Kamdar
Godhra, Gujarat
Description At present the buttonhole machine industry is underdeveloped in India. The machines are usually imported from Japan, U.K. and USA. Companies like Singer, Virkler and Usha are manufacturing this machine. The machines available in the market are not user-friendly and also expensive. The imported machine is very complex in nature and difficult to repairs and maintain. The price range of these is around Rs. 60000/- to Rs. 150000. Spare parts of the machines are also not available locally and authorized workshops are to be approached for repairing and servicing the machine.

Being a technician of the buttonhole machine, innovator Shri Anil Kamdar has realized the need of users during the experience of last 20 years. He has identified the lacuna of the conventional machine available in the market and thought of developing the low cost users friendly buttonhole machine. In 1999, he has purchased the old body of the conventional machine from the secondary market and started working on it. He himself designed and developed certain component and procured some standard components from the market. After a hard work of three years, he has developed low cost and simple user friendly buttonhole machine. On an average, this machine can do 100 – 120 buttonholes per hour.
Technical Features Power drive unit
Easy maneuverability
No need to change the gear externally
Breakage of needle is minimized
Ergonomically designed
Counters for number of buttons sewed
Small lamp near the needle.
Current Status There is vast scope to improve the innovation by providing engineering, design and ergonomic inputs to each of the components to make the product marketable. We are open to entrepreneurs, who are willing to purchase the technology for their regions and carry forward the further development of the project.

Name Double Acting Pump
Innovator Shri Budhubha Jadeja
Kutchh, Gujarat
Description For the rain-dependent farmers, equipment for lifting water from the ground plays an important role in farming. As farmers face acute water scarcity due to dropping water table, accessing natural sources of under ground water has become important. The fact remains that there is no pump in the market that satisfies the farmer’s requirement completely.

In order to fill this gap, Mr. Budhubha Jadeja, a farmer of the Kutchh region has conceptualized the idea of using the Double Acting Reciprocating Pump with a balancing mechanism. The single acting pumps, habitually used in rural Kutchh, draw water from the ground in alternative strokes. With Budhuba’s simple alternation water can be drawn from the ground continuously.
Technical Features Lifts ground water continuously till power supply is given.
Saves energy due to balancing mechanism and is highly efficient.
The pump can be operated by electricity or oil engine.
Low cost of maintenance.
Current Status This project has been financially supported by TePP scheme of DSIR, Ministry of Science and technology, Government of India for the development of the technology. The innovator has developed a working prototype and a preliminary test has been conducted, which has yielded positive results. The working prototype is currently undergoing testing at Nirma Institute of Technology. Following certification from the Institute, a final prototype will be developed. GIAN invites collaboration from interested business parties to commercialize the product.

Name Electro Tyre Processor
Innovator Mr. Thomson Augustine
Description Conventionally, tyre re-treading is carried out through steam based heating system using fire wood. This system needs at least 1.5 tons of fire woods to cure a 14 kg of matrix (heavy duty matrix weighing up to 80 kgs.) and for proper vulcanizing the matrix needs a temperature of 150 degree Celsius. In addition to that, in conventional system the entire tyre is exposed to heating which leads in reduction in life of the tyre too. To minimize all these problems, the innovator has developed an electrically heating system for matrix in tyre vulcanizing. An Indian patent has been filed for the innovation and the Project has been supported under MVIF. The product has been licensed to Eastern Treads a group company of Eastern Masalas.
Technical Features Efficiency:
Electronically controlled tyre re-treading machine to lengthen the life of tyre to 25 to 30 per cent
