Introduction 

 

Origin of the proposal: Gandhian Young Technological Innovation (GYTI) Awards celebrates the spirit of student innovation in all the fields of engineering, science, technology and design through extremely affordable/frugal solution or the ones pushing the technological edge.

 

The purpose behind this application is making the Innovation Submission and Review System simple and easy, let user also view the Innovations submitted by other innovators on right on their Android phones.

 

A platform to upload abstracts of all UG/PG/PhD projects pursued by the students to promote originality and inclusive innovation. It will also give global visibility to the idea of Indian tech youth and promote, hopefully, collaborations worldwide.

 

Project Objectives:

 

GYTI is an Android application that will be used for submissions of projects/innovations by students for the Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Awards.

 

Purpose behind this application is making the Innovation Submission and Review System simple and easy, let user also view the Innovations submitted by other innovators on right on their android phones.

 

It also makes the review system simple and easy. Once the innovator submits his innovation, it will be sent to the respective subject expert/reviewer for review by email.
