A student from Kendriya Vidyalaya 2, CRPF Campus, Bhubaneswar, her innovative app, I-SRAVIA, designed to bridge communication barriers between the deaf and mute communities and the rest of the world, gained special attention at the event.

The exhibition, inaugurated by DST Secretary Prof Abhay Karandikar at ITPO, New Delhi, saw 360 students showcasing innovations that tackle societal challenges. The NLEPC, which was open to the public from September 17-18, stands out due to the diversity of innovations, representing geographical balance and addressing issues that align with the nation’s vision of a sustainable and inclusive future, a press release said.

She was among 31 students from across the country selected in the Project competition and felicitated at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi on September 19 by the dignitaries including DST Secretary Prof Karandikar, Prof Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairperson, NIF India Dr Namita Gupta Head, INSPIRE MANAK, DST, Dr Arvind Ranade, Director NIF and others.
