Gandhian Engineering Idea Competition 2025
The Gandhian Engineering Idea Competition is AURO University’s annual flagship initiative that promotes original ideas and innovations from students across the country and beyond. Coined by Dr. R. A. Mashelkar, the concept of “Gandhian Engineering” is about innovating and developing quality Products / Processes / Services for the masses by using minimal resources — MLM: More from Less for More.
This competition is open to all, regardless of educational background or technical expertise. Here, “engineering” refers to designing frugal, inclusive, and impactful solutions that make life simpler and happier.
What’s New in 2025: This year introduces a fresh evaluation parameter: Ideas to Impact – participants are encouraged to present ideas with real-world use cases to score higher. Concepts should align with frugal innovations, the MLM approach, and the ASSURED framework.
