# STI4SDGs
Our Pledge
Challenging the biggest development issues
We at SDG Accelerator are…
Looking for collaborators, solutions and
enablers to achieve SDGs - Get Involved!
Focus Areas: Food, Energy, Water, Internet, Social Engineering, Healthcare
Supporting global cross pollination of Disruptive and Transformative solutions
Food & Agri scarcity
1.02 bn hungry people, most of them are in developing
countries
By 2025 there will be 1 bn more mouths to feed, requiring 1
trillion cubic meters of water for agri alone
Two-strand approach
1. Raise the incomes of the poor >>
enable them to afford to buy food
2. Provide immediate and direct access to
food for those families most in need
Food & Agri scarcity
The core of the problem is not a global food shortage,
simply providing food can only be a short-term
emergency solution
Source: www.un.org
Water , Food & Agri Security
663 mn still lack access to improved drinking water
1.8 bn people globally use a source of drinking water that is fecally contaminated
Each day, nearly 1,000 children die due to preventable water and sanitation-related diarrhoeal diseases
The SDGs are aiming to achieve universal and equitable accessto safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030

Kisan Soil Health Monitor
The Kisan Soil Health Monitor comprises of a sensor integrated device that measures overall Soil health and its key physical properties viz. •Macro nutrients: N,P,K •Secondary & Micro nutrients: S, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Bo •Physical properties: pH, OC, EC
The results from the Kisan Soil Health Monitor also suggests the kind & quantity of nutrients, fertilizers, soil amendments required to optimize yield.
Frequency of Soil Health Assessments: Twice a year
The Kisan Soil Health Monitor is a 360 degree soil knowledge
solution developed to address the need of smallholder farmers,
administrators & government to assess soil health and thereby
suggest remedies and amendments to improve yield.

Seed pre-treatment & productivity
Seed pre-treatment solution
A novel non toxic organic platform technology to improve agri productivity in a cost effective way. Deployed at various stages viz (pre-sowing, harvest, post harvest)
•Seed pre-treatment (pre-sowing) solution
•Running diluted liquid/solution in the micro drips help prevent biofilm formation in the
irrigation tube
•Post harvest and green house applications to increase shelf life
Increased number of pedunclesIn the treated Wheat
• Metastable Oxidizing Agent• Destroys all types of micro‐organisms on the seed surface• Bio‐stimulation pathway• Increasing seed permeability for better nutrient exchange• Non‐Toxic, Organic input, Economical

Mid-long term water usage:
Immediate Water Usage:
1. Drinking Water Supply in Droughtaffiected area or areas with contaminatedGW
2. Agriculture land rehabilitation andIrrigation related water supply
3. Water supply for Industrial Parks/ Cities
Potential application for self-replenishing fresh water
1. Water Banking: Interconnecting Self-recharging flowing water sourceswith sub-surface aquifers for a non-rain recharge system for ensuringperennial ground water recharge.
3. Parallel/Alternate/Feeder Water supply network: To provide redundancyin case of critical failure in case of surface water contamination, droughtconditions or any disruptions in any form of conventional water supplynetwork.
2. Harnessing Geothermal energy /air-conditioning and other downstream activities.
