PATNA — In a groundbreaking feat, students at the Bhojpur Government Engineering College led by Musharraf, a third year civil engineering student, have developed a nano drone weighing just 420 grams. The drone team aims to revolutionise disaster management with its cutting-edge creation.
Musharraf highlighted the potential applications of the nanodrone, stating, “The nanodrone would be useful in disasters. We are now aiming to build hydraulic bridges.” This remarkable achievement underscores the commitment of the college towards fostering innovation and creativity among its students.
The development of the nanodrone required minimal resources, with the college spending a meager Rs 4,000 on the project. Musharraf said the institution promoted innovation and creativity and therefore the completed project has been handed over to the administration for the benefit of other students.” This collaborative effort reflects the college’s dedication to equipping students with practical skills and real-world experience.
The nanodrone holds immense potential for disaster relief efforts, with its compact size and high-tech capabilities. Deepak, a professor in the civil engineering department at the college, lauded the students for their efforts, stating, “It could have multifaceted uses, such as protection and evacuation of people trapped in floods and disasters.” This versatile tool promises to enhance disaster response strategies and save lives in critical situations.
Musharraf’s ingenuity and expertise in electronic and electrical engineering have been instrumental in developing the nanodrone. Overcoming challenges during the construction process, including sourcing materials and assembling components, Musharraf and his team persevered to create a groundbreaking innovation.
The nanodrone’s lightweight design and advanced features make it ideal for a wide range of applications, including aerial surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue operations. With a high-tech camera and the ability to continuously take pictures, the drone can provide crucial real-time data in disaster scenarios.
Reflecting on their achievement’s significance, Musharraf said, “Now the next goal of our team is to build a hydraulic bridge.” This ambitious project underscores the students’ commitment to addressing pressing societal needs and contributing to technological advancements in the field of engineering.
The success of the nanodrone project exemplifies the spirit of innovation and collaboration fostered at Bhojpur Government Engineering College. As the demand for cutting-edge solutions continues to grow, initiatives like this highlight the importance of investing in education and research to drive progress and create a better future for society.
