Technology Vision 2035
Interaction Meet on Capturing Vision of Young India (September 16, 2012)
Your Name, Class & Institution:
Jayesh Chandra Gupta , 3rd year B.Tech Mechanical Engineering , IIT MANDI
Disruptive Technology: Any new technology that unexpectedly displaces an
established technology.
Which technologies, according to you, have game changing potential and would
emerge in a big way by 2035?
Automotive Sector: I always heard and thought about electric vehicles displacing
present combustion engine cars and it was this summer that I realized that it is really
making a great impact when I went to Bangalore and saw every 2 out of 10 cars (not a
verified data) to be a Mahindra Reva Electric.
But then why is it that not 10 out of 10 are electric despite of the benefits we get from
it?
I firmly believe that Automotive Sector has a game changing potential and will emerge
in a big way by 2035.
I am not saying that the present technique of individual vehicle and public
transportation will remain same, it needs drastic change in terms of implementation
of a person’s desire to own a personal car along with the benefit of fast transportation
of public transportation system.
Bio-Engineering: Medical facilities in our country needs a great lot of improvement,
not only a rich should be able to get a heart transplant done but also a poor. Now the
question arises how we can get so many human organs. The answer is simple Bio-
Engineering, biological organ synthesize. This will definitely have a game changing
effect.
Education Sector: New teaching methodologies which include real and virtual teacher
will increase education rate in India.
By 2035, Technologies in India that would create a significant socio-economic impact?
1. National Knowledge Network for students living by in remote location schools
were we don’t have enough teachers “Padhega india tabhi toh badhega india”
2. When a person is happy he does great things and each and every person
happiness will contribute towards nations welfare, So how can a person be
happy, it is not by money but by a feeling of self importance .Importance will
come when some is assigned some job to be done . So those technologies
which will not replace human totally will create a significant impact by 2035
3. Health technologies
4. Aviation industry .India making her own civil and military aircraft, making us

independent of foreign nations.
5. Cheap and green energy source for transportation technologies, because if
transportation cost reduces prices of commodities transported will reduce
causing welfare of both nation and environment.
Can you visualize 3-5 innovative products (which are non-existent today) but can have
a radical change in our day-to-day lives by 2035 (These could be out-of the box type
ones…)
Goods transportation in mountainous regions: What is the shortest way to travel from
one location to another in a mountainous region, definitely not the mountain roads,
for now presently the airway but is it energy effective or cheap? I suggest an alternate
way of transportation of goods in this regions :
Why should I not use the rivers ,they are the shortest route ,just like a road but what
are the problems with it :
 Rivers are shallow, fast and rocky.
 So cannot use boats
 How will you navigate
 What source of energy
 Time taken for goods transportation
SOLUTION:
A Solar Hovercraft & Boat (SHB) , so how does it overcomes the above mentioned
problems:
 We begin its implementation on a small scale like a place from where I am
studying MANDI for a small transportation distance on river which will account
for many kilometers of mountain roads.
 Data of river water level (seasonal) from past records is feed in SHB or can
even be Dynamic which allows Hovercraft to know where there is a rock and to
avoid it.
 In some part of the river (downstream)where there is high flow rate and
enough depth SHB will act as boat and at very low cost and energy effectively
transport goods .
 Now for the case where the river is shallow SHB’s Hovercraft feature will be
utilized (which is operated by solar energy collected over period of time )
 Navigation will be like a AGV(Automated guided vehicle)
BENEFITS:
 Reduction in amount of non-renewable source of energy consumed for
transportation by around 30% (initially)
 Although transportation will take more time but cost of goods transported will

not increase with changing price of fuel.
Indian Railways and Clean India: The first thing that distracts your eye when you travel
in a sleeper coach in Indian railway are the Polythene bags littered across the tracks
and the foul smell coming from it along with the feces discharged .
Now we have spread this and we are responsible for its cleaning now the question
arises how? Manually not a good idea. Why not to use the same train which caused
this. What we need is a mechanism which could distinguish between polythene and
other materials and a mechanism which can actually collect these polythene bags
(lying by the side of the track or on it) when the train is moving. Along with this
mechanism some mechanism which could actually utilize the human feces for
generating some energy which can be used for powering some components in the
train.
Both the technologies that will be developed here can also be used on small scale for
local cleaning purpose.
As we all know Indian railways span the whole nation (almost) this will become a huge
cleaning mission for a clean and green India.
Automobile modified design: It’s the dream of every one to be owner of a car, but
why?? Because it gives each one of us a feeling of being someone, which we lose
when we use public transport and it is the psychological aspect which is showing rapid
increase in Automotive Sector.
But we know Public transport is cheap ,so how can we actually get benefits of both I
can illustrate it with one idea which I suggest:
Modified design of car which together form a train kind of automobile and can
separate from each other. Each car starts from its origin on a path and there comes a
common path for many cars (which started from different destination) and the front
of one gets attached to back of second and so on making a long chain of cars .
BENEFITS:
No traffic problem.
In case of any emergency we have a wide road empty like 1/10 of a NH is used for
transportation and remaining 9/10 empty which could be used either for emergency
purpose or other purpose.
Efficient and can also be green if cars are not combustion engine type.

False Environment Simulator: Every person is unique and his performance varies
according to the environment. Take the case of a college student, some give their best
intellectual performance during day time while some during night time, but they are
forced to work or study during a fixed time because of which only fifty percent is the
outcome. So we can’t utilize one’s full capabilities. What should be done?
Why not make a person feel that he is working in a particular environment (in which
he gives best performance) although the environment is totally different. Now
question arises how to do so?
A human being uses his senses to know about the environment, now what if his
senses bluff him?? If a device is developed like a specs or lens which can simulate
different day and night conditions, thus giving false input to his visual senses. What
about hearing smell and touch? Our ears can also be given hearing input like for
morning simulator voices of birds chirruping etc. We already bluff our nose by using
deodorants so that should not be a problem. Now the most difficult part touch which
needs to be worked upon.
My India in 2035…. Pen down your thoughts in few lines
MY INDIA:
1. Every person is happy with no fear in women to travel in their own country.
2. Free from the use of non-renewable source of energy.
3. Clean and green India.
4. No person dying because of lack of medical facilities.
5. Educated India.
6. A developed nation but not like present Developed nations. Still known for its
heart. I mean development not at cost of happiness of our people.
