Dilli Babu, a ninth-grade student from Wanaparthy district, has been chosen to represent his region at the state level for his ingenious invention aimed at assisting in the rescue efforts of children trapped in borewells.

Here’s how the resourceful student crafted his prototype:

Utilizing a 50 cm PVC pipe, Dilli ingeniously attached a circular metal piece to it using a rope mechanism connected to wheels, effectively creating a lifting device. The wheels are connected to an electric motor, allowing for controlled movement. Lowering the circular metal piece into the pipe is achieved through the rope system.

Subsequently, the electric motor is powered by batteries. Upon activation, the lift ascends from the bottom of the pipe. At the top end of the PVC pipe, a sound buzzer equipped with a sensor is installed, complemented by another sensor positioned beneath the circular metal piece to detect water levels.

At India Literacy Project, we take pride in fostering a culture of scientific curiosity in government schools across India, encouraging students to think innovatively and devise solutions beyond conventional norms.

These young minds hold the potential to become future innovators, capable of making significant contributions to society.

Kudos to the teacher M. Saravanan for ably guiding the student in making this prototype.
