First technology developed at NIT Srinagar handed over for commercial

production
The multipurpose heating appliance (Bukhari) designed, developed and fabricated in the Institute
will finally hit the market as the technology was handed over to National Innovation Foundation
(NIF) few day back. The project was received by the IIED centre of the institute in 2015 from NIF
who had identified an innovator Tawseef Ali Malik from Marwah, Kishtwar. The idea and the
prototype received by the IIED center was in a crude form and value addition was carried in the
Mechanical engineering department of the institute under the chairmanship of Professor G.A.
Harmain. The major contribution to develop the technology was made by Dr. Mohammad Hanief,
Dr. Shafi charoo and Mr. Javed Ahmed from workshops, beside others. Mr. Taweef has also received
the patent for the idea. The inventor with the help of NIF on October 6 entered into an agreement
with a local firm for the commercial production of the invention. NIF had given rupees seventy
thousand to NIT to develop the technology under GRIDS for which there is a MOU between NIT
Srinagar and NIF.

The Head IIED centre congratulate all the team members of the Mechanical engineering
department and the workshops department for successfully completing the project. The centre is
looking forward to obtain more such projects from NIF in the future.
