Engineering student develops 'Smart Dustbin' to promote cleanliness in Uttar Pradesh
The 'smart dustbin' has a sensor instrument which is capable to catch the smell of garbage if not dropped in the dustbin.
A 22-year-old engineering student has developed a dustbin with built-in sensors that would go off if garbage is thrown around the 'Smart Dustbin', compelling passersby to put it in the dustbin.
The developer, Amol Gupta, has undertaken research work in technical education besides attending engineering courses in the Teerthankar Mahaveer University.
He has inducted a sensor instrument which is capable to catch the smell of garbage if not dropped in the dustbin. It can sensor the household wastes thrown on the roads.
Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachhata Abhiyan, the young research scholar informed media that an infra-red receiver, buzzer, transistor and a battery has been used and it took five months time to complete the project named 'Smart Dust Bin'.
