INDIAN Engineer developed a Milk Chilling Unit, Wins USD 25,000 from BRICS!

Ravi Prakash, an Indian Ph.D. researcher from Bihar has won the USD 25,000 BRICS-Young Innovator Prize for Design a moderate milk chilling unit for dairy farmers.


Basic idea about innovation

After the white revolution in India become the largest producer of milk and milk products.
But lots of India farmers facing a problem of refrigeration of milk

Being the son of a farmer, Ravi would often visit his green luscious fields before he moved to Karnala for his Bachelors in Technology.


Ravi observed:

He observed that dairy farmer collect the in collection center and send to the chilling unit, but this process is very expensive and time-consuming for the farmer , especially in the summer season farmer going through heavy wastage of milk.
