SRINAGAR, June 3: Three engineering
students of Kashmir valley have
manufactured a Quadcopter (Drone) which
will be useful for military missions, police
surveillances and stormy weather conditions.
Manufactured by Basit Riyaz Zargar,
Shahnawaz Shafi and Shaib Shafi Koul, the:
three engineering students of Government
Polytechnic College Srinagar have designed a
drone that has an initial flying capacity of 15
to 20 meters in air.
Displaying successful trial of the drone, Shaib
Shafi Koul and his two associates, told
Kashmir Times that they are extremely happy
after their successful trial run of the machine.
Shaib Shafi said that the drone can be used
for military missions, police surveillances,
extreme climatic conditions, wildlife
sanctuaries and various other purposes.
The engineering students said that the
drone’s custom-built autonomous electric
Quadcopter with GPS and sensors, capable of
carrying a few kilos up to 10 kilometers and
more as the tech advances.
“This kind of instrument is the first of its
kind in north India manufactured by any
engineering or group of engineering students.
We manufactured the drone within a record
period of one month. We also almost spent
more than Rs 40,000 on the project. We
finally succeeded to construct the instrument,
which has a great significance and
requirement in the present day world,” Shaib
said.
The group of students further said that apart
from it having a military and police
surveillance usage, “it also will transport
medicine, other essentials to villages
seasonally stranded by stormy weather and
low quality road infrastructure. It can also be
used in poor road infrastructure areas and
expensive and inflexible areas,” said Basit
Riyaz.
The Engineering students maintained that the
drone network technology is very useful in
monsoons cut off the roads. “In advanced
countries, the drone technology is being used
for various purposes. Not only in military
purposes, but various other purposes also. In
India, the drone technology is very limited in
use. The technology can be very useful in
Jammu and Kashmir keeping its geographic
condition into consideration. Being a vast
area under forest cover here, it can be useful
for protection and surveillance of the forest
and wild animals living in forests,” said
Shahnawaz Shafi another student.
The students said that they manufactured the
drone without the assistance of anyone. “We
took it as a challenge, when our HoD gave us
this difficult assignment in the polytechnic
college. But we completed it in a record
period of less than one month and they are
extremely happy today,” he said.
The three boys are in third year in
Government polytechnic college Srinagar.
They have expressed their desire that they
will continue to work on the project after
completing their engineering course. “This
drone has flying capacity of more than 40y
minutes. We will try to extend its flying
capacity in the future, if his college and state
government encourages us,” they said.
