Ravi Prakash, a PhD scholar from Bengaluru, has won the BRICS-Young Innovator Prize for inventing an affordable indigenous milk-chilling unit for smaller and marginal rural dairy farmers.
The temperature of raw milk could be brought from 37°C to 7°C within 30 minutes by using nano-fluid based phase change materials.
The award was given at the 4th BRICS-Young Scientist Forum (YSF), 2019 held at Brazil.
