Above I have attached a video stating regarding the solution. Problem statement is lengthy as so solution video I request jury to kindly watch it.
I have answered every question here in this form but I request you to kindly watch my video which is given. You may get every answer to your question asked here. Though the sequence must be up and down, I did my best to present it. Thank you.
Now answering this question.
I am solving the problem which here in India takes the lives of around 600 workers every year which is manual scavenging.
I am solving the problem of water pollution caused by waste water flowage into the water resources by eliminating it 100% by innovative devices.
I am solving the problem of blockages into sewer lines and storm drains which get blocked during the monsoon resulting in overflow of water causing floods which impacts people in the surrounding.
I am solving the problem of empowerment of government labor workers who used to clean open sewers now lost their jobs because of making the sewer lines underground.
I am solving the problems and diseases caused by an open sewer in its vicinity which majorly affects the poors living in slums surrounding it.
I am solving the problem of life below water organisms which die each year due to pollution caused.
I have developed a series of products which will be responsible for cleaning and sorting of the waste flowing from underground sewers to water resources, resulting in polluting it.
Products named chakravyuh will be installed before the junction of the sewer which will act as waste collector and sorter and also filter the water to remove chemicals and toxins from them.
Now when waste is collected I have made a most efficient machine to tackle most municipal works on its own named Abhimanyu which will be a robotic scavenger which will also clean the currently present sewer lines in most effective ways.
As of now no use of AI is taken as a physical product. But in future chakravyuh will be equipped with sensors and cameras and monitoring will be done based on it.
I have made a series of products to clean the present underground sewer linens which pollute our water resources. My one of the solutions named abhimanyu will be a replacement to manual scavenging and works as a robotic scavenger. How it will impact their lives and what are the small details which are taken care of are explained in the 2nd video in the playlist.
Currently I am the only one working on product development as I do not have funds to hire a team or like minded people who will work with me for no instant return. But definitely I have seen processes and know very well from different areas of experiences I have and know how things work here will work for the same.

- Concept
As I designed the product back when I was in school. Last year I came to know about a competition for which I redesigned the product, built a small scale prototype then converted it to a working model and tested it on a small scale and it worked excellently well. Later when half of the design which was another product and connection to the same product was made. I also designed it and made a small model prototype to test the proof of concept.
To obtain some funds, I believe my design is of universal conditions and believe that connecting with like minded people will help to get it developed on a large scale prototype. In short I do not have funds even to get my designs patented. I need funds to make a large scale prototype that's the only reason I am making my application.
- Technology (e.g. software or hardware, web development/design)
No product except the sewage cleaning plant claims to clean 100% of solid waste flowing from water resources.
I have created a new series of products as the entire sewer system fails. It is not possible to talk about every innovative solution but I request you to kindly watch the second video in the given playlist as it will be explained well.
I believe my product will be the most efficient and fast robotic scavenger which will also be an affordable product which will not only stop manual scavenging but also will increase the number of employment as all the waste will be collected leading to more work for the same.
Explaining everything here is a little much difficult for me as I am yet a student but I developed a product. I hope with due respect that you view my innovation from videos submitted and you will consider it.
As of now the product is in its concept stage but I have designed it and made a working small scale prototype to test the proof of concept. I am here for some funds to 3D design it, apply for patents and move forward for the actual large scale prototype and then test it on actual sewer lines present.
Entire sewer systems use the principle of gravity to flow the sewage from it and at very few places motorized pumps are used to beat the topography of land. But with that sewer flows multiple waste into it and also the water becomes toxic due to chemicals like potassium and chlorine due to residential activity. Almost every sewer ends up in the natural water resources around and as a result making it polluted and difficult for life under water. There is only solution to stop the solid waste flowing into it by removing it completely without choking the sewer and a chakravyuh device is made for that purpose and acts as a specially designed physical barrier for solid waste and other waste which flows into the sewer.
And for polluted water there's only one way to filter out the water but practically filtering every liter of water is almost impossible and making it pure for human consumption but here is the twist we use filtration mostly for removing salts and protozoans and bacteria from water with that we also removes chemicals from it. But for the marine ecosystem living under water salts and bacteria are and were part of their life. We just have to remove the toxic gift given to them in the form of chemicals from humans.
For removing the chemicals chakravyuh has a special shaped filter cluster made of micro filter and activated carbon. Structure makes it possible to process almost all water quickly from it and resulting in lowering the pH and for this too gravity acts as a science.
For removing the waste collected in chakravyuh there are 3 methods
1 spate - which uses human force as a science by opening the manhole present on it if waste is less.
2 crane - if waste is full and location is busy where cleaning at the place of installation is not possible chakravyuh can be lifted up using a crane and can be replaced with the empty one like swapping here crane will use the hydraulic and motorized power to lift it and pace it.
3 arm - conveyor chain hydraulic vehicle mounted arm (Abhimanyu) to remove the waste collected in chakravyuh and motorized power is used in conveyor belt and hydraulic is used in the arm.
- A new technology
As discussed above it has been followed for years. Just the case here is instead of man a machine will collect the waste for abhimanyu and for chakravyuh it was tested on small scale working prototype and it worked well. It's mentioned in the video also I am giving the link to the folder of innovation which is google drive folder which has every detail regarding the solution which has a sub-folder of recognition it has all the awards which got me the recognition for innovation with some media coverage report.

Currently I am the only member working for it.
I have been actively working on this solution for the past 6 months but the first draft of the design was made by me when I was in grade 8th when I saw manual scavenging.
I cannot tell you about everything but manual scavengers who have decades of experience in the field will be in the team of design engineers to finalise the design as they are the people who know what it takes to clean the sewer. And this is the mistake that every cleantech company does that they do not employ any workers and their product becomes inefficient after some time.
i do not have any business model as of now. But it will be incorporated with the local government authorities
- Government (B2G)
I do not have a fixed plan but after finalizing the product prototype I will sell them to the local municipal body responsible for cleaning. It will be a one time product sold later when advanced versions are developed it will be sold and for surveillance and maintenance we will charge a platform fee.
But I have not yet decided if it will be for profit or not for profit.
