Logo Contest – UIDAI
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has been established by the Government of India to assign unique numbers to all residents of India. The role that the UIDAI envisions is to issue a unique identification number (UID) that can be verified and authenticated in an online, cost-effective manner, and that is robust enough to eliminate duplicate and fake identities.
The UIDAI invites proposals from the public for the logo. If a particular logo is found appropriate and selected by the UIDAI, it would carry a cash prize of Rs. 1 lakh to the sender of the logo. Consolation prizes of Rs.10,000 would also be provided.

Tata Swach – Water Purifier
World’s most cost-effective water purifier improves affordability of safe drinking water for millions of Indian families
Pure water is one of the world’s most precious natural resources. With much of India’s population denied access to safe drinking water, the delivery of safe, convenient and affordable water purification is one of the biggest social and technological challenges in the country today.
Responding to this challenge, Tata Chemicals unveils ‘Tata Swach’ – a unique and innovative water purifier. Requiring no energy or running water to operate, an early version of the product first saw the light of day as part of the Tsunami relief efforts. Today, the replaceable filter-based product, which is entirely portable and based on low-cost natural ingredients, delivers safe drinking water at a new market benchmark of Rs30 per month for a family of five.
