System to check the healthiness of earthing system and alert staff in case of any malfunction;

Develop centralised sensing of electrical earthing health for station/parking infrastructure. Monitor leakage protection, earth continuity and earth-pit/grid resistance, transmitting panel feedback and issuing audible/visual alerts when readings depart from specified limits. The source addresses public exposure to faulty pole-light systems and labour-intensive manual inspection; it does not supply numeric thresholds.

Survey/Resurvey of Rural Agricultural Land in lndia

The source requests updated surveys of rural agricultural parcels using modern mapping and field-verification methods, addressing mismatches between old maps, ownership records and changed boundaries. Drone surveys, RTK/DGPS and GIS are named approaches. A unified land-information system should connect geo-referenced parcels with Record of Rights, mutations, registration, survey maps and ownership history so records can be updated and checked together.

Construction of roads over moraines / Permafrost/ glaciated areas.

The Border Roads Organisation builds roads at very high altitude along India's northern borders, where climate-driven freeze-thaw cycles destabilise permafrost, moraine and glaciated subgrades. The challenge allows either innovative subgrade stabilisation or a road-construction technology suited to these changing ground conditions.
