An 11th Standard (US: 11th Grade; UK: Year 12) science student in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh has invented a smart school bag he hopes will combat Covid-19.

Visuals shot on April 3 feature the student and the chairman of the school explaining the features of the bag in Aryan International School in Varanasi.

A video features pupil Pushkar Singh and the chairman of the school, Vineet Chopra, explaining the features of the bag he developed in the school’s lab.

It consists of ultrasonic sensors that are activated when the child wears the bag. It rings an alarm and turns on a red light when the wearer is too close to other people.

Pushkar Singh invented the bag under the guidance of teacher Shyam Chaurasia, in order to ensure compliance with social distancing guidelines.

The bag takes two hours to charge and can work for almost five days. Moreover, it also has a barcode that consists of the parent's name of the student, address, phone number, etc. So if the child gets lost, officials can scan the barcode and get the child’s details.

The bag incorporates Arduino, ultrasonic sensors, a 3.7-volt battery, alarm, push switch, barcode, etc.

The chairman of the Aryan International School, Vineet Chopra, wrote a letter to the Chief Minister and the Education Minister, to encourage and motivate the student.

An 11th Standard science student, identified as Pushkar Singh, invented an anti-corona smart school bag in northern India's Uttar Pradesh. Visuals shot on April 3 feature the student and the chairman of the school explaining the features of the bag in Aryan International School in Varanasi.

A video features Pushkar Singh and the chairman of the school, Vineet Chopra, explaining the attributes of an anti-corona smart school bag or children safety bag that Pushkar innovated in the Abdul Kalam smart lab of the school. The bag consists of sensors that get activated once the child wears the bag and gets deactivated when not in contact with anyone. Moreover, the bag rings an alarm to aware the children that they are close to other people and turns on a red light as a signal.

Pushkar Singh innovated an anti-corona smart school bag under the guidance of Shyam Chaurasia so that the students follow the social distancing protocols and their guidelines. Shyam Chaurasia helped in molding Pushkar's idea and gave him proper equipment and counseling to create his product with the help of Vineet Chopra. This bag will alert the students if they come anywhere close to two-meter of distance and ring an alarm, as well as turn on a red light as a signal to maintain a certain distance from each other. Moreover, the equipment consists of two ultrasonic sensors that get activated once the child wears the bag and gets deactivated when not in contact.

This innovative bag gets charged within two hours and works for almost five days. Moreover, it also has a barcode that consists of the parent's name of the student, address, phone number, etc. So, in any case, if the child gets lost, the police officials can scan the barcode and get all the details about them. The bag incorporates Arduino, ultrasonic sensors, a 3.7-volt battery, alarm, push switch, barcode, etc.

Following this innovation, the chairman of the Aryan International School, Vineet Chopra, wrote a letter to the Chief Minister and the Education Minister to encourage and motivate the student who worked hard on his project. Moreover, Vineet Chopra also mentioned that under the Make In India start-up sale, various such students sell and display their inventions. Furthermore, the chairman believes to help these students in starting their own business, their start-up and helps them in achieving their goal.
