JK
students of Aryans College of Engineering applauded by the Governor Punjab for
“Aryans Safety Helmet”
Srinagar 13 June
5 engineering students of
Chandigarh based Aryans College of Engineering have developed a unique GPS and
GSM based Safety Helmet. This innovative project of the Aryans Kashmiri
students aims to provide timely first aid facility in case disaster happens at
construction/ mining/ industrial sites.
Christened as
"Aryans Safety Helmet," the project was today launched by Governor
Punjab & Haryana, Sh. Kaptan Singh Solanki in Raj Bhavan, Haryana. Dr.
Anshu Kataria, Chairman, Aryans Group presided over the event.
Sh. Solanki while
launching the helmet said that we lose thousands of lives at construction sites
due to their untraceable location. This helmet will really help us to locate
them at a much faster speed. Sh. Solanki appreciated the initiative taken by
Aryans students and added that this Helmet is an innovation and also a
wonderful project.
Mr. Himanshu, HoD, Civil Department, Aryans Group said that this unique helmet
consists of three main Parts i.e. GPS system, GSM module and Antenna. Firstly
GPS system will receive signals from satellite through an antenna attached to
it. The information retrieved from these signals is fed to GSM module. GSM
module has a sim card slot which will transfer this information to the system.
He added that use of particular web link enables us to locate the position of
that system on a google map.
Imtiyaz Ahmad Shah,
students’ group leader said that “According to recent survey we lose
approximately 1000 lives per year while working at their jobs and one out of
every five of them is at construction sites. Most of these deaths occur due to
non-availability of first aid in time. So this helmet will help us to find the
persons under debris and to provide help as early as possible.
Hanan Bashir another
student who hails from Srinagar said that this helmet will help us to locate
persons under debris or scrap in case of an accident. GPS will work with
satellite and transfer information to GSM. We can locate position on google map
by using a link.
Dr. Anshu Kataria,
Chairman, Aryans Group said that with the fast change in technology, students
are coming up with fresh and innovative ideas. Earlier to this also Aryans
students have done many wonderful innovations like “Aryans Android App”, “Save
Kashmir Android App”, “Life saving Glove” to name a few.

Sajid Zahoor, Javaid Ahmad and Suhail Ahmad said that they are working on
further improvement of the device by installing a sensor based emergency
button. The button will turn to an alarm in case the person requires first aid
by sensing the pressure or other emergency need.
