Students of Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, have designed a brand new rehabilitation shelter that can be constructed quickly in the event of an earthquake or any such disaster. Five third-year students of the Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering Departments have built the structure primarily for earthquake-hit people. It can withstand wind, seismic and thermal blows for over four weeks. The shelter was one of the many innovative projects that were on display at IIT Delhi's annual Open House on Saturday.
