Angul: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States has invited Shubranshu Nayak, a promising boy of Odisha’s Angul district to display his innovative Mavic drone project.

A native of Hulurusinga village, on the outskirts of Angul town, and a student of Class IX student of the Saraswati Sishu Mandir, Shubhranshu had developed a Mavic project and uploaded it on the NASA Space Settlement website. After reviewing the project, NASA invited him to its Space Settlement Centre at Washington to give a detailed briefing on his project on December 1.

Of 138 participants invited by NASA from across the world, two, including Nayak, are from India.

As told by Nayak, the drone will carry first-aid medicines to remote and inaccessible areas by tracking the Google Map. After reaching the area, the doctor will be able to treat the patient using the drone camera and prescribe him/her the medicine for treatment.

“It took me three months to build this project at a cost of Rs 65. I will be leaving for the US on November 23,” Nayak said.

Son of Laxman Nayak, a bag seller, and Sulochana, Subhranshu has been praised by his teachers for his grit and determination.
