A Simple Technology That Can Solve India’s Clean Water Problem In Just Rs.3,000/-
Worldwide, around 10,000 people die every day due to lack of clean drinking water. The situation is alarming, but bio-sand filters offer a simple and affordable solution. This low cost model purifies water, is locally manufactured and can also help the local community with various livelihood options. And, all of that in just Rs.3,000! Read along to know how it is done.
Water borne diseases are the number one cause of deaths worldwide, with WHO and CDC estimates pinning 3.5 million deaths every year to contaminated drinking water. In India alone, around 2,000 people die every day due to lack of clean drinking water, and out of these, children under the age of five are most vulnerable.
Most villagers consume unsafe drinking water on a daily basis. Some of these families opt for boiling the water prior to drinking which can be costly. Those who can afford it, buy bottled water to reduce the risks of such diseases, while economically and financially weaker people continue to consume impure water which eventually causes disease and death.

14 Steps to register a startup company in India
How to Register a private limited company in INDIA?
Registering a company in India can take anything from 15 days to as many as 35 days, though instances of getting the certificate of incorporation in a day to a week are also there. Registration of all sorts of companies in India is overseen by the Registrars of Companies (ROC), appointed under Section 609 of the Companies Act 1956. Every state has a regional office of the ROC to oversee the registration process. The ROC is vested with the power to register companies in India and also ensure they comply with all statutory requirements under the Act.

You pitch your idea, they make your product
Witworks is a Bangalore based collaborative invention company, which designs and sells consumer products created by its online community. Its web platform enables anyone to join this community and submit ideas solving everyday practical problems. The company works towards developing these ideas into commercially viable products, manufacturing them and bringing them to the market.
Inventors and designers can now bring their products to the market by merely pitching ideas to an online community of fellow innovators. The community, organised by Witworks, is founded by three IIT Kharagpur graduates, who promise that a prototype of a chosen design or idea is ready in 30 days. The manufacturing of the products is outsourced to specific companies that Witworks has tied up with.
The startup, which launched operations last year, already has a 1,000-strong community, who decide how useful and unique an idea pitched to them will be as a final product. Witworks selects the top three ideas and puts it on the fast track. “In India, there is no place to invent,” said 25-year-old Somnath Meher, who cofounded Witworks this year with a seed fund of Rs 10 lakh from IIT Kharagpur.
