                Directorate of Education (DOE) organizes science competition at school level annually
                to boost scientific temperament amongst students. 21 major Indian cities (Delhi, Bengaluru
                etc) are reaching to zero groundwater levels by 2020, affecting access for 100 million
                people -CWMI report, Niti Aayog in 2018. The project “Quencher” bagged Gold medal at
                zonal level in National  Science  designed  by Sumedha  Longani  and Sabal Handa
                Quencher is an innovation that is easy to use and affordable solution that aims to
                provide long-term in situ moisture conservation and improving biological health of
                degraded and deserted soil. It not only prevents stagnation of waste water that can be
                breeding grounds of mosquitoes but can also channelize water to ground level boosting
                microbiota and moisture content in underlying levels of soil bolstering its fertility. This
                is a life saver in areas with low rainfall and scarce water resources.
