• Design Thinking is not an exclusive property of designers—all great
innovators in literature, art, music, science, engineering, and business
have practiced it. So, why call it Design Thinking? What’s special about
Design Thinking is that designers’ work processes can help us
systematically extract, teach, learn and apply these human-centred
techniques to solve problems in a creative and innovative way — in our
designs, in our businesses, in our countries, in our lives.
What is Design Thinking?
• Design Thinking is an iterative process in which we seek to understand
the user, challenge assumptions, and redefine problems in an attempt to
identify alternative strategies and solutions that might not be instantly
apparent with our initial level of understanding. At the same time,
Design Thinking provides a solution-based approach to solving problems.
It is a way of thinking and working as well as a collection of hands-on
methods.

Amazing Innovations from Rural India
Bhagwan Singh Dangi
Madhya Pradesh
Many times, in a standing crop, soybean pods shatter due to non-availability of
labourers for harvesting the crop in time, leading to reduced yield and loss. To
solve this problem Bhagwan Singh decided to develop a reaper windrower
machine.
This device has three different units namely, cutting unit, which consists of
cutter bar, reel unit for pushing the standing crop towards the cutter bar and
gathering unit to windrow the crop at centre of the machine thus making it easy
to handle/transport to the threshing floor.
It reduces manpower requirement and the drudgery involved in the harvesting
process. The machine has 7 ft width of operation and can cover 0.4 hectares per
hour. While operating this machine, fuel consumption of tractor is 2.5-3 litres
per hour.
N Sakthimainthan
Tamil Nadu
Sakthimainthan built his hand operated water pump in
response to a dearth of available pumps that could be
afforded by small farmers.
He built five prototypes over a period of fifteen years before finally
perfecting his design.
The resulting water-lifting device is operated by the continuously
rotating a handle. It is simple in design and has a high discharge at low
cost compared to the motorized pumps and conventional hand pumps.
The pump has discharge of 20,000 lph at 0.75 m head. The unit has also
been tested by TNAU, Coimbatore and improved by CMERI Durgapur. It
is useful device for drainage as well.
Radhey Shyam Sharma
(Bullock operated sprayer)
Madhya Pradesh
Bhanjibhai Mathukia
Gujarat
The bullock operated sprayer is pulled by a pair of bullocks and
gets the drive from the ground through a gear box and belt pulley
system.
When the operator shifts the lever to a higher gear, the frequency
of strokes of the pump increases as a result of which more
pressure develops in the container. The spray fluid, thus, atomizes
into fine droplets with a wider swath.
This sprayer considerably reduces time requirement as compared
to manual spraying and also the drudgery and health hazards
involved in manual spraying.
It has 18 nozzles, spaced at a distance of 35 cm and can cover
3.5 acre/h

P K Ravi (Pepper thresher)
Kerala
As compared to other conventional
threshers, Ravi's thresher can be
operated both automatically and
manually with higher output and
minimal damage.
The Spices Board (Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, Govt. of
India) has recognised his innovation
and included it in the Board's subsidy
scheme.
About 100 kg pepper can be threshed
in a one HP machine in ten minutes
(60 kg in a HP version). It consumes
3/4 electric units per hour, has
threshing efficiency 90 per cent and
the damage is about 2-3%.
Gopal Bhise
(Bicycle Weeder) Maharashtra
Bhise has fixed a rod with a blade
at the end, to an assembly
consisting of only the front wheel
and the handle of a bicycle.
Decomposed bio-waste has better fertility values. Decomposition can be fastened if the
biomass is aerated, humidified and properly mixed.
Dhonshi's machine is a tractor PTO driven machine, which can thoroughly mix the bio-
wastes and add moisture as well thereby reducing the time of decomposition.
The machine can cover a row of wastes disbursed by 100 trailers of size 11 ft x 6.5 ft x
2.5 ft (i.e total 400 ton) in one hour. Tractor consumes 3.5-4.0 liter diesel per hour. The
compost has better fertility value as compared to FYM and vermin compost.
Total time for converting the biomass into manure while processed by this machine is
25-40 days, which is otherwise 3-4 months by the conventional methods.
Swayambhoo Sharma, Madanlal
Kumawat, Chandan Agarwal
(Modified hand pump with tap and
attachment for filling animal trough)
Rajasthan/Delhi
Lack of surface water sources and falling water table has made availability of clean
drinking water a major problem in Rajasthan.
For human beings, the need gets addressed to some extent but for animals this need is
much less appreciated.
Swayambhoo Sharma came up with an interesting solution to address the drinking water
needs of animals.
He developed an arrangement such that every time people pump water for their use, 20
per cent of pumped water will directly go to fill animal water trough. Since most people feel
lazy in filling drinking water trough for stray animals, this innovations solves this problem
by a kind of tax at source.
Another problem faced in hand pumps is that a single person finds it very difficult to pump
and at the same drink water (without a vessel with him/her).
Chandan, then a first year student at IIMA came out with an idea of storing water in the
body of the hand pump so that having pumped, one could use a tap and drink water like
any other tap.
Yusuf Khan and Madan Lal Kumawat, two other innovators combined the idea of Chandan
and Swayambhoo Sharma and developed a hybrid model.
Raghav Gowda
(Milking machine)
Karnataka
Finding skilled labour for milking a
small herd of cows is a problem faced
by many farmers.
But using machines for milking is a
luxury which only a large farm or a
dairy house can afford. Raghava
decided to develop some method of
milking, which would be affordable for
all farmers.
The result: an easy to operate and low
cost milking machine that can milk 1.5-
2 litre of milk per minute.
The machine can be used to remove
all the milk from the udder. The cow
feels as if it is being suckled and does
not experience any pain.
K Nicholson
(Shock proof converter)
Manipur
Nicholson has developed an innovative device which converts all electrical lines into
shock-free power lines. This is a very useful device for every household/ commercial
establishment.
The device can be installed just after the energy meter so that each and every
connection in the building establishment gets connected to the device and becomes
shock-free.
The innovator makes different variants based on application and user's requirements.

honey, oil, caustic
soda, and soap-

CA Vincent (Floating soap)
Kerala
Vincent observed many people taking bath in rivers and ponds loosing their soaps,
which often sink in the water.
He conducted experiments in his soap manufacturing unit for about 14 years to
develop this unique process of manufacturing soap that floats in water.
The soap has a density of 0.878, TFM (Total Fatty Matter) as 73 per cent, foaming
stability as 0.1 cm and foaming power as 0.2 cm.
Imli Toshi
(Bamboo lathe
machine)
Nagaland
Bamboo needs to be stripped off its outer covering for developing smooth
surface to make interior decoration items and utility articles like cups, pen
stands, etc. Doing the job manually is time consuming and laborious.
The machine developed by Toshi can do all the operations like removing the
outer knots, smoothening the surface, internal/external carving and finishing.
The machine has soft touch joystick controlled operating system, which
facilitates precision in operation.
The finished bamboo can be used to make bamboo pet bottles. This bottle
has the potential to replace the plastics and tin bottles and cans. The bamboo
pet bottles can be made with a capacity of 1 lit, lit, 200 ml etc.

Manipur
This innovative mechanized shuttle looms simulates the
working principles of traditional Manipuri shuttle loom,
except that the new machine runs fully automatic with
the help of a half-horse power motor.
The output of the machine is 25-50 times more than the
traditional shuttle loom, and almost any other power

Gujarat
Modern life with its fast pace and
sedentary lifestyle has created the
need for solutions incorporating
relaxation and invigoration.
The walls of this stove have been insulated using brick made from special
clay, which reduce heat loss and hence increase efficiency.
Different variants of the same for household and commercial use have been
developed by Senthil Kumar. The innovator has sold over 15000 units of
different versions of these stoves.
