National Invitation for Research & Innovation
Government • Academia • Industry • HAM Clubs • Students • Innovators
DCTIAH KB INDIA FOUNDATION invites Government Departments, Local Authorities, Industries, Schools, Colleges, Universities, Researchers, Professionals, HAM Radio Clubs and licensed Amateur Radio operators to collaborate in Amateur Radio Technology, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Emergency Communication, Safety and Community Resilience.
"To connect knowledge, technology and people to strengthen emergency communication, reduce disaster risks and build safer, healthier and more resilient communities across India. EVERY IDEA CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE."
Amateur Radio Research & Development
Encouraging field research, engineering trials, and radio network innovations that operate independently of commercial grids.
- Emergency Wireless Communications: Off-grid VHF/HF relay networks.
- Early Warning Dissemination: Solar-powered beacon telemetry.
- STEM Education & Radio Kits: Practical physics and RF experimentation.
- Portable Field Kits: Rapid-deployment disaster communication stations.
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Studies
We welcome research, empirical case studies, and practical solutions tackling hazards across India's diverse geography.
- Multi-Hazard Early Warning: Flood, cyclone, landslide and earthquake risk models.
- Industrial Safety & HAZOP: Chemical, refinery, and construction risk mitigations.
- Grassroots Preparedness: Panchayat-level emergency response plans.
- Environmental Adaptation: Urban heat islands, water security & sustainable habitats.
