Blueprint to a smarter planet, the underlying theme of Techkriti'15 not only focuses on technology but also on society. Scientific advancement has always been the need of the hour but that does not rule out the fact that it is the people who will benefit from it. In order to have a smart planet we need to have smarter and healthier people. This initiative has been taken up by the technological and entrepreneurial festival of IIT Kanpur.
This Christmas Techkriti became Santa Claus, when our 'Campaigns' team visited Subhash Children Home, an orphanage in Kanpur and came up with an idea to see what could make these children real happy. "Make A Wish" campaign surely brought that ever so rare smile on their little faces when they had their wishes fulfilled by our team.
Teen suicide is a growing concern in every educational institution in India. Techkriti in association with Counselling Service, IIT Kanpur conducted a talk on Suicide prevention by Vikram Singh, an Indian educationist and a retired IPS officer which marked the launch of our campaign "#IamStrong".
Continuing with our Health Campaign, an Oral Hygiene Free Dental Check Up camp was organised in IIT Kanpur, where pointers were given as to how to keep up one's wonderful smile.
