One platform, three outcomes
The right treatment before an item becomes waste
The Hub combines user-submitted evidence with a transparent questionnaire model. Experts can validate or override every recommendation before physical movement.
Repair
Prioritize repair when damage, device age, parts availability and repair cost indicate that recovery is practical and safe.
Recycle
Route unsafe, severely damaged or end-of-life items to controlled dismantling and authorized material recovery.
User–Hub–Cluster architecture
A connected circular economy workflow
Submit
User uploads an image and answers a short condition questionnaire.
Classify
The hosted 3R model generates a recommendation, scores and reasons.
Validate
The NIT Hamirpur Hub checks the recommendation and schedules action.
Process
Authorized repair centres or recycling clusters receive the item.
Report
Impact, materials and value sharing are recorded in dashboards.
Institutional convergence platform
Research, policy, skills and implementation under one centre

Student-led execution
Awareness creates participation. R&D creates better solutions.
Two coordinated student groups work in parallel: Awareness & Outreach generates participation, data and community problems; Projects & R&D converts them into prototypes, research and process improvement.
Awareness & Outreach
Campaigns, collection drives, school outreach, repair cafés, events and measurable engagement.
Projects & R&D
Classification tools, IoT bins, dismantling safety, recovery prototypes, research and optimization.
