Free ThinkersProblem Statement:When the street light doesn't work the electrician need a crane to climb the pole, or he needed a long ladder, but In narrow street the crane cannot enter and In rainy season or in a normal season the ladder is not the safest choice, breaking of ladder’s step and slipping from the ladder could cause a serious injury even death is possible. And if the street light does not repair on time, it can cause accidents at night and invites the robbers to houses. Many poles have a collection of wires here and there on them, which causes a short circuit. And also the pole turns into a conductor of a current. If any person touches it, it will give him/her an electric shock. Technical Solution:We are working on a Smart pole and Smart Street Light, in which the street lights can come down rather than climbing in the pole. It can prevent dependence on the crane and on the ladder. Smart poles and Smart Street Lights are easy to repair even if they are easy to install. The poles have CCTV cameras for surveillance, especially on crossroads, outside malls, schools and government buildings. It also contains a charging port placed at bus stands.

InvincibleProblem Statement:The problem we are focusing on is Accidents in hilly areas, that might happen due to the overspreading. Technical Solution:The solution we came with is Speed limit warning boards on roadside with full LED screen which will show warning signs whenever driver is overspeeding than will show warning signs whenever driver is overspeeding than specifies limit. Fot that we need a speed detector device, which will capture vehicle's speed. It will be installed after every 100-200 meters so driver have to slow down speed after seeing the warning again and again.

Team_4Problem Statement:Nowadays it is often seen in villages that people get borewells done on the farm or at home. Sometimes the borewell is left open,and sometimes small children or Animals knowingly and unknowingly fall into that borewell while playing, non living objects also fall in that borewell, and people face a lot of problem to remove them. Sometimes living things or small children even die in it, due to which public loss or economic loss is incurred. Technical Solution:We have made a device that has a camera and distance measuring device, oxygen instrument and many more such things which show physical gestures. When an object falls into the borewell, by putting that device in the borewell, we can get information about all the conditions of the object that has fallen in the borewell and help to take out the object without any damage. Through this device, we can save time, remove things so that there is no financial loss and most importantly we can save a person's life.
