A project-based course running through all eight semesters of the undergraduate program, ILGC is built on the idea of providing hands-on experience to all our students. The first two semesters involve curriculum related to sustainability, product lifecycle assessment, design thinking, engineering drawing etc. to provide students with a suite of skills required for their project work from third semester onwards. Dr. Kaur has been involved with the ILGC program in various capacities, mentoring teams and helping them deliver on their projects. She has also mentored two teams during the Plaksha Summer Entrepreneurship Program, where the best performing UG teams are supported to further work on their ideas and explore entrepreneurship avenues during the summer break.

Electrochemical biosensor
Title: Assay development and device design using electrochemical sensing approaches to detect fungal crop pathogens.
Brief Description: Fungal crop pathogens are a huge challenge for farmers in Punjab impacting all major crops produced in the state like wheat, rice, sugarcane, and maize. As part of a larger goal focused on creating a fungal disease detection biosensor, this project will focus on optimizing the electrochemical identification strategies for the target fungal strains. DNA of the fungal strains will be used as the biomarker. The project will be a mix of biochemistry and molecular biology, electrochemistry, designing and fabricating biosensors and integrating the different aspects into one device. Students will get opportunity to spend time in the biology lab and Makerspace.

Poultrify
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a looming global threat exacerbated by human-animal interactions and environmental factors. Developing countries lack resources to address antibiotic overuse in poultry farming, necessitating a 'One Health' approach. The World Health Organization (WHO) stresses the importance of evidence-based data on AMR in animal food to educate farmers. A shortage of veterinary experts in low and middle-income countries contributes to antibiotic misuse. To tackle these challenges, a cell phone application is proposed to educate poultry farmers, facilitate communication, and create a network with veterinary experts, ultimately aiming to strengthen antimicrobial stewardship efforts.

H2knOw
The aim of this project was to redefine the message of water conservation for individuals and institutions. The technology allows tracking of water consumption by way of a physical component that measures the volume of water used, and attributes it to a particular user through RFID transponders linked to an account the user can view on an affiliated app. This technology will help users quantify the amount of water they use, and subsequently, can begin taking action to reduce it, where required.

Aushadhi
Aushadhi is developing a super app in collaboration with the Indian Government's Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) scheme. In Phase 1, they are creating a consumer interface using ABHA's APIs to provide services such as creating ABHA ID, accessing reports assigned to the ID by hospitals, and managing consent. The app will sort reports based on various criteria. In Phase 2, they will integrate the consumer side with the corporate side, allowing doctors to view patient reports with consent and enabling patients to book appointments in advance. This aims to address issues like overcrowding in hospitals.
