commercialized the theme for year 2018 was 'Innovations for Rural Empowerment and

Sustainable Development. Proposals involving inventive ideas and developments in the fields of

Energy, Disaster Mitigation, Transportation, Materials, Environment, Life Sciences and
information Technology/IoT preferably focusing on the above theme were invited. B.Tech

students of Jain (Deemed-to-be University) brought laurels by receiving the INAE Innovative

Student Project Award 2019. Receiving an INAE Innovative Student Project Award is of great
achievement as the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE), is an apex body and promotes

the practice of engineering & technology and the related sciences for their application to solving

problems of national importance. The Project was titled “Tubercles effect on a wing performance
for NACA 634 – 421 aerofoil” and the team of students namely Amrutha K, Dumpeti Vineeth, Gracio

Joyal Lobo, Medisetti Swami Charan were guided by Assistant Professor Ashish Gupta of Jain
(Deemed-to-be University) and fitting innovation into this equation is often difficult. The gap

between an idea and a working prototype is huge. Finally time is the challenge that crushes

innovators souls.
