“Some people see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not. This is a story of chasing a dream to create a social impact, into reality, it is typically Indian in the sense that we started digging a well when our beard caught fire but still managed to reach the water! This is the making of Hubballi Marathon 09 – Run against terrorism ( www.hubballimarathon.com ) a mega social event organized by the students of B.V.Bhoomaraddi college of Engineering & Tech – Hubli.”

Walking Tutor – Excercising aid for physically disabled children
1. Project overview:
Physical disabilities in children can be detected in early stages. A child who cannot walk properly has to be motivated to walk so that he can have better and healthier legs. It can also help strengthen muscles and improve the reflexes of incapacitate and growing children.
The concept for the project was suggested by Mr. R. S. Okhade of the USHAS, Hubli – a local centre for exceptional children. As per his suggestion, a system will be designed electronically, much like an interactive game that intends to encourage children to walk aiding their muscles’ development. Children being the focus of the project, an effort will be made to make the system more interactive and amusing so that active participation is promoted.
