ACADEMIC PROJECTS
To Design and Build a Prototype of ‘Grain Vending Machine’: An Innovation for Public Distribution
System, a Ration Delivery System for Ration Card Holders.
[M.Tech Project] Guide Dr. Satish Agnihotri, IAS Ongoing Project
 Based on the literature review and AHP tool for analysis of Public Distribution System mechanism of ration
delivery, Grain vending Machine was found to be a suitable alternative model for PDS.
 Project involves designing the GVM for increasing the efficiency, transparency and accountability, reducing
drudgery and providing flexibility and instalment in withdrawal of the entitlements.
 The project consist of RFID based ration card used for accessing the GVM with a load-cell placed in
feedback loop to microcontroller and creating database for user’s and transactions performed.
Is Grain Vending Machine an Out-Of-Box Solution for Delivering in Public Distribution System?
[M.Tech Thesis] Guide Dr. Satish Agnihotri, IAS Aug’11-Jan’11
 Studying PDS mechanism and choosing various alternatives and various attributes based on literature review
and market survey.
 Application of Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) as a tool for comparison and obtaining the results.
 Analysis of the results and drawing the inference.
Development Prospects For Pardhyani & Kapdi Village, Champawat, Uttrakhand
[M.Tech Summer Internship] Mar’11-July’11
 Conducted ten week fieldwork in the villages Pardhyani & Kapdi, Uttarakhand.
