The devices developed by teams from RGUKT draw appreciaton at World Education Summit

Hyderabad: Students of Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT) recently developed some women safety apps and devices which won appreciation at the World Education Summit.

Sthreebal- RGUKT intermediate student N Shashidhar Raju developed a wrist watch that can generate electric shock. If someone tries to assault the woman, she can switch on a button in the watch which will generate a 1000 volts electric shock and paralyse the attacker. Since the watch is insulated, the women who wear it will not be harmed.

Neelakantan Shashidhar Raju, who hails from Asifabad district of Telangana and is a pre-university student at RGUKT, says, “the cost of the device is only about Rs. 500 to 600”. The equipment used in it is a watch, old mobile phone battery and a high voltage generator.

“I got the idea and shared it with the Physics department faculty co-ordinator, Anitha. She helped me to contest in the RGUKT tech fest,” he says. “Now I am planning to get a patent for the device,” says the 17-year-old.

 Swarasthr

 Swarasthr is an app developed by a team of four RGUKT students. One can save the contacts in this app. If she screams when in danger, the app recognizes the situation and sends a message to the contacts in the phone along with the location of the women. This helps in alerting the security agencies immediately. The app seeks to identify a given situation as danger or not by fear factor analysis.

Students of 3rd year Computer Science Engineering, K Amrutha, SK Mubeen, V Pratyusha and P Hema, are behind this innovation. “Name of the app itself is self-explaining. Swara means voice and asthr is weapon. So, Swarasthr is Weapon powered by Voice.” explains Amrutha.

“Swarasthr stands out of the existing safety technologies as it works without any human intervention. Once on, it senses a scream, categorise and send emergency calls and messages with location details to all the contacts saved in the application,” she said. The app is in working condition now and the team is looking to develop it further.

Women safety device

This is a pocket device which a woman can carry as a watch or in hand bag or purse. “When needed, this electronic device can be initiated by switching it on and it sends alert messages along with location to the phone contacts saved in the device,” says Bodupally Lakshmi Prasanna, RGUKT student who worked on the device.

In case, the location of the person in distress is not uploaded in Google map, the device sends the longitudinal latitudinal location of the women. “This is a prototype and I am planning to add additional settings to it,” says the Electronics and Communication Engineering student.

According to Associate Dean of Sciences and Humanities, Dr. Devaraju Gurram, when a student comes with a proposal of innovative ideas, the institution aids them financially as wells as scientifically. “The Vice-Chancellor allocates the funds and assign a faculty for monitoring the project,” he says.

These devices were presented at the World Education Summit and the innovations won much appreciation. “There were also suggestions to integrate all three innovations together and make it a more useful device for women safety and we are planning to do that,” he concluded.

Aero engines major Rolls-Royce  said it has entered into a collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras to promote and explore opportunities for joint research programs.

The company will also roll-out a 'Technical Higher Study Framework' to facilitate higher education for its engineers, in partnership with IIT Madras, Rolls-Royce said in a statement.

An MoU has been signed between the company and IIT Madras for the collaboration. As part of the MoU, Rolls-Royce and IIT Madras will also aim to pursue advanced research in areas of relevance to future technological and programmatic needs of the company, it added.

"The association with IIT Madras is another step in our efforts to promote collaborative research programs with like-minded partners in India. We look forward to exploring areas where we can co-develop technological solutions," Rolls-Royce India and South Asia President Kishore Jayaraman said.

He further said, "at the same time, we are keen to leverage this collaboration with a premier technology institute like IIT Madras to promote upskilling and professional development of our engineering talent, and facilitate higher education and research in areas of strategic interest."

Commenting on the collaboration, Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research Associate Dean, IIT Madras, V Kamakoti said, "the interaction with Rolls-Royce will certainly induce multi-faceted interdisciplinary technology exploration involving the diverse specializations available at IIT Madras and mapping them into specific application areas of high practical value."

Under the collaboration, Rolls-Royce will sponsor select employees keen to pursue Masters and PhD level studies, as part of its Technical Higher Study Framework, in partnership with IIT Madras.

To qualify for the program, employees must first clear the IIT Madras selection process, and their topic should be aligned with Rolls-Royce strategic research priorities and capabilities, it added.

The program is open to all permanent employees at the Rolls-Royce Engineering Centre in Bengaluru who have completed 36 months of service with the company.

The initiative is in line with the company's efforts to promote growth and career progression for its engineering talent, it said.
