Archana, 9th standard student, innovator, told ANI said: "Our innovation is 'blind walker' which helps blind people in walking safely. On roads, it becomes difficult for blind people to walk. On this blind walker stick, we have a sensor and when blind people walk or cross the roads the sensor will make a beep sound when anything or anyone comes in between."

Santosh, BTech student, Innovator, speaking to ANI said "We made this project one and a half year ago after noticing the difficulties faced by the farmers. Normally when farmers spray pesticides they also get affected by inhaling the pesticide. So we have designed this drone which can spray pesticide in the farms. It can spray content across 30 acres per day, wherein farmers directly can spray only to 5 acres per day. This drone can carry ten litres of pesticides for one time and it can be refilled. With help, this drone, farmers can also reduce the usage of pesticides.
