"Semi-automatic paddy planting machine", a b.tech graduated first innovation. Lets check out the more details of him.

The 30-year-old has installed his own device equipped with a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensor in 120 panchayats and the Warangal municipality. The device automatically detects the presence or absence of light and shuts off the main system controlling streetlights. Growing up in Gopalapuram village in Warangal (Rural) district, Raju Mupparapu noticed how streetlights in his village, which were switched on as early as 5 pm in the evening, weren’t switched off in the morning. While most residents overlooked the fact that streetlights were on even during the day, what Raju saw was an immense waste of electricity. Lets go deeper into this project in today's episode.

It was the suffering of bed-ridden patients that made Alladi Prabhakar make a multi-purpose cot to help them out with their daily activities. However, building things is not new for him, and he has 15 innovations to his name. Prabhakar, who studied till class VII, is an example of how practical, hands-on experience can provide you with the skills which a regular school education cannot. With a built-in commode and a wash basin with hand shower, these beds not only help elderly persons to live a more dignified life, but also reduce the burden of caregivers.

These beds, made from iron and fibre, can be connected to a source of water and a sewerage pipe to clear the waste.. The cots, which cost `21,500 each, have a a n easy pushback system so that the patient can get up and sit with ease. “The beds make taking care of bedridden patients easier. Families can take care of their elderly in an easier way without having to hire nurses. My main aim behind making these beds was to reduce the suffering of invalids which I have witnessed in my home too. I started manufacturing these beds four years ago, and have sold 1,500 units till now,” he adds.

Prabhakar, who is an electrician, has been recognised by the Telangana State Innovation Cell. Stating that working with his father kindled his interest in machines, he says: “My father was into the business of agricultural pumps. Throughout my childhood, I used to accompany my dad on his work visits, and picked up the nitty-gritty of mechanics. I have been making things from the age of 14 years. One of my earliest innovations was an automatic generator starter which I made after I noticed how frequent power cuts affected cinema halls.”

Besides these, Prabhakar has made an Electric Pole Climbing Clip, which can be used to climb poles effortlessly. This product is available for sale online. He also has a Borewell Pulling Machine to his credit, which is used to pull the borewell motor with less manpower. Another one of his innovations is a 360 Degree Surround Air Cooler, in which the fan provides cool air around the cooler. He manufactures the beds at a factory in Metpally in Jagtial district.

akara Ganesh, a 21-year-old innovator from Warangal district says his only dream is to make hearing gear accessible to the hearing impaired.

Most of them in the market cost more than Rs 2,500, while Ganesh is selling his innovation ‘Device for deaf people’ for a mere Rs 150.

“I decided to work on developing an affordable hearing gear after my friend who comes from a poor family background could not buy one,” said Ganesh, at the Assistive Exhibition.  After watching a lot of YouTube videos and extensive Google research, Ganesh developed a hearing aid with basic components but it was sufficient.

“Hearing disability is quite common, but only a few from affluent backgrounds can afford proper hearing gear. As of now, I am not selling my product for any profit. My only aim is to make sure that the weaker sections get hearing gear. Profits can come later,” he said while demonstrating his device.

The awareness sessions held in schools these days to teach children the difference between good and bad touch do not seem to be effective. But here’s a 21-year-old innovator who has gone a step ahead to break down the concept for schoolchildren.

Yakara Ganesh from Warangal, who believes that children learn better in a playful environment, has devised an interactive sensor doll which doubles up as a good touch-bad touch instructor. MK Kaushik, along with whom Ganesh developed this doll, said: “It has sensors which recognise sound and touch.

There are sensors on its chest and private parts. If touched inappropriately, they signal a ‘bad touch’. But if the doll is touched on its hands, these sensors will prompt a good-touch response.”

Ganesh and Kaushik, who is also the CEO of Vaagdevi Incubation and Business Accelerator, demonstrated their innovation, which they pieced together in 11 days, at a government school in Nandanam on the outskirts of Warangal. “It provided encouraging results.

We have observed that children learn quickly in a playful environment. As of now, all good-and-bad touch campaigns in schools are theory-based. If children play with this doll, they will be able to grasp the concept better,” Kaushik said. Teachers of the school were happy about the innovation and expressed their interest to use it in the classroom.

The innovation has also piqued the interest of Telangana government officials such as IT and Industries Principal Secretary Jayesh Ranjan, the Confederation of Indian Industry - Telangana and others.On Monday, Kaushik and Ganesh will meet Ranjan and senior police officials, including those from the SHE Teams, to explore the idea of its usability. “This is a crucial social issue which can do with such innovative solutions,” Ranjan said.
