An innovative pedal-assisted workout strategy that converts quality vigor into electricity, an eco-restoration task for the Padmatheertham pond successful Thiruvananthapuram and an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI-ML) Laboratory are among the projects and facilities that volition beryllium unveiled astatine the finale of the aureate jubilee celebrations of the CSIR-National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSIR-NIIST) present connected Wednesday.
Union Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh volition beryllium the main impermanent connected the occasion. A fig of memoranda of knowing (MoU), including 1 for processing sustainable wastewater absorption successful houseboats, and different for astute tyre exertion volition beryllium signed connected the occasion, NIIST said successful a statement.
CSIR-NIIST volition motion an MoU with the Kerala Houseboat Owners’ Federation to make onboard and ex-situ wastewater attraction systems for promoting eco-friendly tourism. The task volition beryllium successful collaboration with the Suchitwa Mission and Kerala State Pollution Control Board.

Human vigor to energy
On the occasion, Mr. Singh volition unveil ‘Vidyut Swasthya,’ a pedal-assisted workout strategy that converts quality vigor into energy for charging gadgets portion promoting wellness and sustainability, the NIIST said. The system, equipped with an ergonomic workstation and integer display, is powered by CSIR-NIIST’s hybrid nanogenerator technology.
Under its eco-restoration program for the Padmatheertham pond, NIIST volition instrumentality a nature-based attraction strategy utilizing “floating wetlands and ex-situ purification units” to reconstruct h2o prime and ecological balance. “Continuous monitoring implicit a twelvemonth volition marque this a replicable exemplary for different municipality h2o bodies,” the institute said.
An automated nodal-hub for the assembly of dye-sensitised airy harvesters, an AI and instrumentality learning laboratory and a Golden Jubilee Building-Innovation Centre besides volition beryllium unveiled astatine the event.
In a statement, C. Anandharamakrishnan, director, CSIR-NIIST, described the celebrations arsenic marking 50 years of technological excellence, innovation, and societal impact. Over the past 1 year, the institute had conducted conclaves, manufacture meets and outreach programmes.
