Selection of project is an important aspect of this course. Project must be appealing in learning aspects and should provide a scope of developing the qualities – technical and managerial both. The group had a thorough discussion and analysis of various ideas.
This discussion included talks on new trends in the fields, learning aspects provided by them, cost consideration, SWOT analysis of them, weightage of work provided to have inclusive participation and many other factors.
After the discussion and literature study the team had come down to a shortlist of few ideas that would serve the purpose to its whole content. The projects considered were

Before starting any project its planning is to be done. Planning of project is a very important task and should be taken up with great care as the effective implementation of the whole project largely depends upon unit planning.
Project planning consisted of following steps:
Project planning is thus helpful to totally prepare an action plan that would lead to success of the project. As it is said “A work well begun is half done.” The same sense is applied here “A project well planned is half done.”

INTRODUCTION OF FORKLIFT
In general the forklift can be defined as a tool capable of lifting hundreds of kilograms. A forklift is a vehicle similar to a small truck that has two metal forks on the front used to lift the load. The forklift operator drives the forklift forward until the forks push under the cargo, and can then lift the cargo several feet in the air by operating the forks. The forks, also known as blades or tines, are usually made out of steel and can lift up to a few tons.
Forklifts are either powered by gasoline, or electricity. Electric forklifts relay on batteries to operate. Gasoline or propane forklifts are sometimes stronger or faster than electric forklifts, but they are more difficult to maintain, and fuel can be costly.

Electric forklifts are great for warehouse use because they do not give off noxious fumes like gas powered machines do. Forklifts are most often used in warehouses, but some are meant to be used outdoors. The vast majority of rough terrain forklifts operate on gasoline, but some use diesel or natural gas. Rough terrain forklifts have the highest lifting capacity of all forklifts and heavy duty tires (like those found on trucks), making it possible to drive them on uneven surfaces. Forklifts have revolutionized warehouse work. They made it possible for one person to move thousands of pounds at once. Well-maintained and safely operated forklifts make lifting and transporting cargo infinitely easier. This is the general description of a normal forklift.

HISTORY OF FORKLIFT
Just like many other inventions, the forklift was born out of necessity. The two-wheel hand operated forklift first appeared over one hundred years ago. These original units were wrought­iron axle and cast iron wheels which enabled loads to be lifted and transported without manual labor. In the early 1900s the evolution to combine horizontal and vertical motion resulted in the first hand operated forklift capable of lifting a few inches of the ground. And with this the development of the forklift are on fastrack till today.
In 1917 the Clark Company, manufacturers of axles, created a truck called the Tructractor to move materials around their factory. As people visited the factory and saw the Tructractor at work they placed orders from Clark to build Tructractors for their companies. A few years later the first hydraulic powered lift was added to some trucks to give them lifting power. In 1923, Yale was the first company to use forks that lifted loads off the ground and an elevated mast that could extend beyond the height of the truck. The Yale truck is considered to be the first forklift.
A few developments helped the forklift to increase in production including the introduction of the standardized pallet in 1930 and World War II. Both of these developments increased production of forklifts and allowed distributors the means to efficiently move heavy loads.
