image When as a child I had heard and read about Darwin and the evolution theory, somewhere in the back of the mind words like the Galápagos Islands, Beagle, Turtles, Iguanas had got registered as something mystical, a paradise, some place far off in the middle of nowhere which I could only dream of but never visit.

Seeds of hope : Use of Vegetative Oils as Engine Fuel

by K V Prayukth*

Dependence on foreign sources of energy has always been a bane for the Indian economy. It is the single biggest drain on the foreign exchange reserves of the country and the uncertainty in the prices of international crude has always kept Indian government and planers on tender hooks. An increase of $1 per barrel of crude oil prices adds $425 million to our oil import bill. As India imports 70% of the oil it uses, the country has been hit hard by the increased cost and uncertainty and so is exploring other energy avenues.

A Million Dollar Venture Fund just for you!!

A MIllion Dollar Venture Fund just for you!!
The Rural Innovation Phenomenon

It is often said that “need is the mother of all inventions.” Nowhere is this truer than in rural India where every day men and woman devise new methods and means to ease the burdens of their daily lives. These “rural innovations” not only improve the productivity and efficiency of local farmers or artisans, but also have significant environmental and social impact by developing eco-friendly “appropriate” solutions to local problems.

NIEP has tied up with a Indian Venture Fund to recommend promising projects for its Institutional members. Join NIEP today and receive advise on how to go about it?
