dobara - a survival kit which helps in regaining identity after the disaster has struck
DESCRIPTION
This kit was designed during USID Gurukul 2013, under the mentorship of Mr. Raman Saxena, Visiting Professor, Design Program, IIT Kanpur. During disasters, people tend to lose their identity and other vital documents. This kit was designed keeping that problem in mind. It will not help the person to survive through the disaster, but will also help him in re-establishing his life again.TRANSCRIPT
