Dear Shri Harsh Shringlaji
( Foreign Secretary – psfs@mea.gov.in )
Congratulations for setting up KRA ( Key
Result Areas ) for our Ambassadors in various countries (
especially, in relation to “ procuring high technology “ ) , as reported below :
Indian envoys and mission officers to be judged on 3Ts / Hindustan Times
/ 04 Feb
2022
Extract :
Ø Foreign secretary Harsh Shringla has written to
all mission heads that Indian embassies will
function as a team and all officers will be judged on parameters of enhancement
of trade, procurement
of technology and selling India as a tourism destination.
Ø On August 6, 2021, PM Modi has addressed the heads of missions virtually with the focus on enhancing Indian
exports, procuring high end technology for India, and promoting India as a global tourism destination.
MY TAKE :
Technologies that can help us solve our myriad
problems, are under development ( or already
available commercially ), all over the World.
It is very likely that some of these news
might escape your attention. In turn, you may not be able to alert our ambassadors to inquire / evaluate
these for possible “ acquisition
“ by India ( by Indian PSUs / Private Sector Firms / Research Labs etc )
As a citizen, I believe it is my duty to bring
to your notice, such technology-related news whenever I come across one
Here is one – from : Poland
[ A] Background
# 842 000 people die every year from diarrhea caused by the consumption of
unsafe drinking water
# More than 2.8 billion people in 48 countries will face water stress or
scarcity conditions by 2025
# 80% of the illnesses in developing countries result from unhealthy water
and/or sanitation
systems
[ B ] Technology ( brief
description ) :
The innovative technology, called NanoseenX uses specially created nano-
membranes which have the ability to trap impurities and salt in their pores and
are arranged in cascades inside a cylindrical device in order to utilise the force of
gravity to carry out the filtration, removing the need for the use of energy or
pressure.
It is world’s first technological solution for the purification and desalination of
water without the need for an energy source, with potential to help solve
worldwide freshwater shortages.
Transform salt water into clean drinking water in the space of just 2 minutes at a
cost of just 0.5 USD for 1,000 litres a day from a single installation. ( 3.7 paise
per litre )

MIT's new desalination unit generates drinking water without the need for filters
The new device requires no filters or pumps, weighs less than 10 kilograms, needs less power to operate than a cell phone charger, can be driven by a small portable solar panel that costs $50, and works with the push of a button.
How well does it work? The desalination device was field-tested at Boston’s Carson Beach. The researchers simply placed the box near the shore and threw the feed tube into the water. It took a mere half an hour to fill a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water that exceeded World Health Organization quality guidelines
For now, the materials used to produce the unit are quite expensive. “It would be interesting to see similar systems with low-cost materials in place," said Nidal Hilal, professor of engineering and director of the New York University Abu Dhabi Water research center, who was not involved with this research.
Still, the team is looking to go into production soon. “Right now, we are pushing our research to scale up that production rate,” Junghyo Yoon, a research scientist in RLE, said. Would you consider buying the new device?
