  not much innovative as its already implemented

  I agree that it looks rather like a dead duck project. You can see one here submitted last year:
  Automation of Diesel Generator set by using Auto mains failure panel | Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Award
  Probably you can consider this option. Normally the circuit waits till the diesel set reaches normal operating conditions and then switches on the loads. When th loads are heavy the DG set which is idling suddenly sees a full load and had to adjust to this. Being a mechanical system this can lead to a small delay and dip in voltage.
  Your project can consider using an MC to switch on loads sequentially to avoid sudden loading of the DG set.
  
  Others here may come up with more sophisticated schemes.

  thank you sir,
  We have planned to install our system at out college as there is a cummins dg set already installed and with no auto on /off feature If they go to buy amf panel then it is costing around 25000inr hence we are going to make that happen using microcontroller because it's costeffective. Along with that as the cummins dg set @ college has a plc embedded which takes care of most of the parameters except auto on /off provision. But, we will be making generator protection also implemeting few parameters like over-voltage,undervotage,overspeeding..
