Marico Innovation Foundation announced the 2008 innovation award to Bhinge borthers for Ecoflo pump developed by them.
Ecoflo Pump - only foot operated treadle
pump
This pump was recognized by other organizations also. Plastindia Foundation, presented the Plasticon 2005 Runner up Award for Excellence in contribution to Agriculture to Bhinge Brothers, Nashik . This award has been conferred for outstanding excellence in the development of a Agriculture Treadle Pump with innovative use of reinforced polypropylene for its component, having a capacity of 3000 litres per hour, suitable for small farms and rural areas.
The Basic Treadle Pump consists of two metal cylinders with pistons that are operated by a natural walking motion on two treadles. The pump can be manufactured locally in simple metalworking shops. The treadles and support structure are made of bamboo or other inexpensive, locally available material. It is easily maintained with standard replacement parts available in local markets at a low cost. The efficient step-action operation makes it possible to pump the large volumes of water necessary for irrigation. All household members are able to operate the pump, allowing farmers to make efficient use of family labour. The pump is suited for manually irrigating small land holdings of one hectare or less. The pump's low cost makes it accessible to even very poor farmers who can use it to grow dry-season vegetables for home consumption and for sale.
Since 1985, when some NGOs first began promoting the treadle pump in Bangladesh , about two million treadle pumps have been installed worldwide.
The Ecoflo pump developed by Nashik based M/s Bhinge Brothers, follows the same basic principle of the reciprocating suction pump. The pump manifold and fittings , cylinders and pistons are all made from injection molded engineering thermoplastic – very strong, impact resistant,and low heat deflection, anti ageing and durable properties . The whole unit is designed in such a way that a person weighing 60kg should easily carry the unit, install it at place and then should be able to suck water from a well of upto 25 ft depth and pump it to a level of upto 45 ft. The quantity of the water a person can transfer would however depend on the level – upto 2000 ltrs per hr at the highest level and as much as 5000 ltrs per hr at minimum heads.
Patent application has been filed for this new and innovative pump.
The Ecoflo Pump.
The only pump of its kind ever made.
The best solution for marginal farmers for irrigation of small plots.
The alternate solution to electric pumps.

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering via Columbia Video Network
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering via Columbia Video Network
Department: Mechanical Engineering
Transcript Designation: Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Program Advisor:
Academic Questions: e-mail advisor@cvn.columbia.edu Administrative Questions: e-mail cvn@cvn.columbia.edu
About the MS Program in Mechanical Engineering: Mechanical engineering is a diverse subject that derives its breadth from the need to design and manufacture everything from small individual parts and devices (e.g. microscale sensors and inkjet printer nozzles) to large systems (e.g. spacecraft and machine tools). The role of a mechanical engineer is to take a product from an idea to the marketplace. In order to accomplish this, a broad range of skills are needed. The mechanical engineer needs to acquire particular skills and knowledge. He/she needs to understand the forces and the thermal environment that a product, its parts, or its subsystems will encounter; to design them for functionality, aesthetics, and the ability to withstand the forces and the thermal environment they will be subjected to; and to determine the best way to manufacture them and ensure they will operate without failure. Perhaps the one skill that is the mechanical engineer’s exclusive domain is the ability to analyze and design objects and systems with motion.The Mechanical Engineering Department at Columbia was established in 1897. It has enjoyed a national and international reputation for much of its history. Between 1950 and 1980, professors Dudley D. Fuller, Harold G. Elrod, and Vittorio Castelli were the foremost leaders in the field of lubrication theory and practice. In the 1960s, Professor Ferdinand Freudenstein (known as the "Father of Modern Kinematics"), revolutionized the field of mechanical design by ushering in the computer age in kinematics synthesis and the design of mechanism. In more recent times, the department has been known for its research contributions in the fields of control theory, manufacturing, thermofluids, and biomechanics. Faculty members have given keynote lectures in national and international conferences and received best-paper awards and professional-society awards. All faculty members are active in research with many serving as editors and associate editors of professional journals and as leaders in professional societies. Now, students located anywhere in the world can complete the MS in Mechanical Engineering fully remotely via Columbia Video Network’s distance learning program. Admission Requirements: Degree required for admission: Students admitted to the program must possess a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or other related field (subject to the approval of the Mechanical Engineering Program) from an accredited academic institution. Applicants should have a strong undergraduate record to be competitive for admission. GPA required: Minimum of 3.0 GRE requirements: General test required Other application requirements: Two recommendation letters, transcripts, resume, and a personal-professional statement are required. TOEFL test scores are required of all students who received their bachelor's degree in a country where English is not the official and spoken language. All application requirements in the Graduate Application must be completed as specified in the application.
Degree Requirements: The program leading to the Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering requires completion of a minimum of 30 points of approved course work consisting of no fewer than ten courses. A minimum grade point average of 2.5 is required for graduation.
All degree requirements must be completed within 5 years of the beginning of the first course credited toward the degree. This includes courses taken under Video Special status.The student's program of study is developed in consultation with a program adviser to reflect the student's special interests. Typical choices include such subjects as mechanics of solids and fluids, thermodynamics, heat transfer, manufacturing engineering, robotics, kinematics, dynamics and vibrations, controls, and power generation.
Nevertheless, the following guidelines must be adhered to:
1. The sequence of courses selected must not be haphazard, but rather show a clearly discernible specialty.
2. All courses must be at the graduate level, i.e., numbered 4000 or higher, with at least a 6000-level course included.
3. Every program must contain at least one course in mathematics (APMA or MATH designators), statistics (SIEO, STAT, or IEOR designator) or their equivalent, covering material beyond what the student has taken previously. It should appear early in the sequence in order to serve as a basis for the technical course work. Examples of such courses offered by CVN are APMA E4001: Principles of Applied Mathematics, APMA E4200: Partial Differential Equations I, APMA E4204: Functions of a Complex Variable, and SIEO W4150: Introduction to Probability and Statistics.
4. Out-of-department study is encouraged, but at least five courses should be in mechanical engineering. Only courses with a designation of MECE, IEME, EEME, or MEBM are considered mechanical engineering courses. Courses with any other designation (e.g. ENME) are not mechanical engineering courses, but may be taken as electives. Many courses offered by CVN fit well into this program. Please consult with a program advisor first. Transfer of credit: Up to 6 credit hours (points) of acceptable graduate-level academic work from an accredited academic institution earned prior to enrolling at Columbia may be transferred to Columbia, subject to departmental approval. Students must request the transfer of credit while applying to the MS program. Credit will only be considered for transfer if the grades earned were at least 3.0 on the 4.0 scale. An official college transcript and copy of the class syllabus and/or course description from the school's bulletin must accompany the "Transfer of Credit Request" form. Please note that courses already used towards completion of another degree program can not be re-used for transfer credit. Note: The concentrated program (Manufacturing Engineering leading to a Master of Science degree) will no longer be available as of Fall 2004. Students currently enrolled in this concentrated program should consult Prof. Larry Yao at (212) 854-2887 or email yly1@columbia.edu regarding any matters related to the concentrated program.

TEjas LCA Indigenous Contributions
The Tejas light combat aircraft design and development program is being led by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) of the Indian Department of Defence.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is the prime industrial contractor.
The National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), based in Bangalore, has designed and is responsible for the manufacture of the fin and the rudder and the construction of the aircraft fuselage.
The aircraft is fitted with a night vision compatible glass cockpit. The cockpit has two 76mm x 76mm colour liquid crystal multi-function displays developed by Bharat Electronics, a head up display developed by the Indian government-owned Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) in Chandigarh.
The cockpit is fitted with an environmental control system developed by Spectrum Infotech of Bangalore.
The aircraft's electronic warfare suite, developed by the Advanced Systems Integration and Evaluation Organisation (ASIEO) at Bangalore, includes a radar warning receiver and jammer, laser warner, missile approach warner, and chaff and flare dispenser.
The Electronics Research and Development Establishment and HAL have jointly developed the aircraft's multi-mode radar.
It was planned that a new turbofan engine, the GTX-35VS Kaveri, under development by Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), would be fitted to the production aircraft. There is a delay in its development.

The cockpit has two 76mm x 76mm colour liquid crystal multi-function displays developed by Bharat Electronics, a head up display developed by the Indian government-owned Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) in Chandigarh.
The cockpit is fitted with an environmental control system developed by Spectrum Infotech of Bangalore.
The aircraft's electronic warfare suite, developed by the Advanced Systems Integration and Evaluation Organisation (ASIEO) at Bangalore, includes a radar warning receiver and jammer, laser warner, missile approach warner, and chaff and flare dispenser.
The Electronics Research and Development Establishment and HAL have jointly developed the aircraft's multi-mode radar.
It was planned that a new turbofan engine, the GTX-35VS Kaveri, under development by Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), would be fitted to the production aircraft. There is a delay in its development.

Tejas LCA - Timeline
The design of a carrier-borne Tejas in single-seat and two-seat versions with a modified nose, strengthened landing gear and an arrestor hook was granted approval in 1999.
The first LCA Demonstrator I aircraft made a maiden flight in January 2001.
The LCA Demonstrator II first flew in June 2002.
The second Prototype Vehicle (PV-II) made a maiden flight in December 2005 and the third in December 2006.
The Indian government approved limited series production of 20 Tejas for the Air Force in April 2006.
First flight of the production aircraft was in April 2007.
Tejas is planned to achieve initial operating capability (IOC) in 2008 and enter service in 2011.

LCA - India's Engineering Achivement
Hormuz P Mama in an article in Economic Times of 15 March 2008 wrote that Tejas light combat aircraft (LCA) is the very finest Indian engineering achievement in any field.
What are the reasons for such a conclusion?
It is the only such fourth generation aircraft to be developed by a Third world country. It is also the only such Asian aircraft with an indigenous design, engine, avionics, and the like. In the development of this aircraft a large number of advanced technologies and equipment have been developed indigenously. Some of them are co-cured cobonded composites, the mission and flight control computers, use of computational fluid dynamics for aerodynamic design, the fly-by-wire flight control system, full-glass cockpit, complex software, avionics integration and sensor fusion.
LCA will have exceptional standards of maintainability and reliability. It will require far fewer maintenance man hours per flight-hour than earlier aircraft. As a result, its life cycle cost will be the very lowest for any aircraft the IAF has ever had.
LCA may also have the very lowest flyaway (or initial purchase) cost of any combat aircraft. The estimates range from $2o million to about $35 million.
