Details of Programme /Project/Initiative:
Brief Description:
This project is for the orthopedically handicapped – such a person can use the three wheeler (AUTORICKSHAW) to make a living. The idea revolves around the concept of modifying the driver’s cabin of the vehicle to accommodate a wheel chair, which can be held in place providing the comfort and the necessary safety to the driver. The controls are tailor made and are fully operable by hands alone.

Five points that make the Product/Programme/Project/Initiative/School innovative:
1. Thinking about physically challenged person’s social life.
2. They can be financial productive for their family.
3. Increasing employment opportunities for others (Fabricating this specified vehicle).
4. Independent life style like anybody else.
5. Self belief and self respect to affected person.

Five key challenges faced while implementing the Product/Programme/Project/Initiative/School and how they were overcome:
1. Non availability of diesel autos in major cities for public transport (As per Govt. norms).
2. Very smaller passage of entering the wheel chair inside.
3. Very simplyfied controling mechanism.
4. Fabrication of brake actuator mechanism by hand.
5. Govt. rules about vehicle act for driving.

Five points that make the Product/Programme/Project/Initiative/School replicable:
1. All components dimensions and mechanism of operations are fixed for the particular branded Auto.
2. Dimensions of wheel chair is same.
3. Dimensions of locking mechanism is same.
4. Dimensions of lifting mechanism is same.
5. Dimensions of locking mechanism and swiveling mechanism are same.
