Innovative Projects and Future Leaders Shine at CMRIT’s Techno-Meet on Sustainability 2025 

CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT), Bengaluru successfully hosted ‘Techno-Meet on Sustainability 2025,’ an inspiring exhibition that showcased about 50 innovative projects developed by students and faculty members, celebrating the spirit of creativity, technical excellence, and sustainability goals.

The event was inaugurated by Dr. Tristha Ramamurthy, Provost of CMR University and Founder of Ekya Schools and by K. Chandrashekar, Finance Advisor to the CMR Group. During the event, four innovative products — Smart Socket (by the stat-up Neuinn), Germination Kit (by the start-up Tiny Shootz), Light Board (by the start-up U-Shiksha), and the AI-powered Mentoring Tool - Sanghathi   were officially launched, to meet the needs of smart living, urban farming, education, and mentoring, respectively.

The exhibition attracted students from various schools and colleges who engaged enthusiastically with the innovators, gaining insights into the real-world applications of emerging technologies. Some of the key projects included an Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Portable ECG Monitor for real-time heart analysis, EcoFilament — a solution transforming PET waste into sustainable 3D printing filament, a Gesture-Controlled Robot for military applications, an Oil Spill Detection System using satellite imagery, Fake News Detection using NLP techniques, and an AI Model for feature extraction from drone orthophotos.

A standout project developed by final-year students Girish.C, Bhuvan Chandrashekar, Lalith Aditya R, and Mr. Ujwal Reddy, featured an IoT-enabled system that directly recycles PET waste into eco-friendly 3D printing filament, reducing energy consumption by approximately 30% and promoting a sustainable circular economy.
