Gandhian Young Technological Innovation (GYTI) Awards celebrates the spirit of student innovation in all the fields of engineering, science, technology and design through extremely affordable/frugal solution or the ones pushing the technological edge. These could deal, for example, with (a) communities at grassroots, (b) co-creation with grassroots innovators, (c) manufacturable technologies for saving or generating energy, sanitation, water purification, saving material consumption, (d) biotechnology and medical devices, (e) diagnostics, (f) assistive devices for physically challenged, and all others areas of social and industrial applications. One can submit more than one application in hard-core manufacturing areas, including but not restricted to aerospace, transportation, construction, textile, electronics, Nano-technologies, computer science applications etc.
GYTI Awards constitute two categories of awards:
- SITARE (Students Innovations for Advancement of Research Explorations)–GYTI Awards and Appreciation Awards under Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) and Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India (DBT-GoI), and
- SRISTI-GYTI Awards and Appreciation Awards given by Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technological Innovations (SRISTI)
