A man from northeastern India has come up with an ingenious way to benefit street dogs by upcycling outdated technology.

Abhijit Dowarah from Sivasagar, Assam upcycles outdated television sets into shelters for street dogs.

Footage shows Dowarah building the doghouse from an old TV, then taking it to the streets, where adult dogs puppies are able to inhabit the shelter.

Dowarah said that his desire to keep the dogs left on the street safe sprung up when he was gifted a puppy on his birthday five years ago.

He realised how several dogs die of road accidents owing to careless drivers and by rolling out this concept he hopes to inspire young creators in the process.

The footage was captured on December 4.

A man from northeastern India's Assam has built shelters for street dogs out of old television boxes to keep them safe from the weather and roadside hazards. Abhijit Dowarah, the ingenious youth, belongs to Sivasagar and has set up the tiny refuges in his neighbourhood.

Visuals shot on December 4 witnessing the set-up show one of the remodelled old television boxes painted yellow and green being taken to the streets to be placed as a shelter. Tiny puppies and full-grown dogs can be seen inhabiting the creation.

A video showcasing the manufacturing stage of the shelters shows Abhijit using outdated televisions using the technology of cathode-ray tubes to fabricate the shelters. He can be seen opening up the television set piece by piece to transform it into a place of safeguarding the defenceless animals.

Dowarah has named his creation 'Baator Ghor' or 'wayside shelters'. On being asked about his inspiration for this earnest creation, Abhijit said that his desire to keep the dogs left on the street safe sprung up when he was gifted a puppy on his birthday five years ago. He realised how several dogs die of road accidents owing to careless drivers.

It was then that the idea of Baator Ghar came to his mind. He was handed over old appliances by the neighbourhood houses for his ingenuine inventions over the years. He used the same televisions donated to fabricate shelters.

Dowarah has a history of coming up with creative solutions to everyday problems. He has been interested in building the best out of waste since he was only six years of age.

He also has to his credit a women safety device that he built to curb the increasing sexual assault cases in the country. Apart from that, he has come up with a solution to operate appliances from the ease of their mobile phones.

Abhijit aims to inspire young creators all across the country and hopes that his inventions are able to create a safer space for helpless animals along dangerous roads not only in India but also over the world.
