Rimpi Tripathi invents a rape-prevention device

MONOJ GOGOI




Dhemaji: Rimpi Tripathi, a 21-year old girl of Gogamukh has brought glory to the state by inventing  a rape prevention device. In an interaction, Rimpi eloquently told that the device could fully protect a girl or woman from rape at anytime and at any place. She told that device was worn by a woman as an inner in the upper portion of the body. If someone tried to grab it, it generate electric shock in the outer side and if one was shocked he could not stand up again up to 10 minutes. The battery attached to the device, which named as Society Harnessing Equipment (SHE), could create such electric shock up to 82 times. Moreover, immediately after the grab, the pressure sensor attached with the device sends two messages to two different locations-one to the family or whose number was fixed and another to the nearby police station. "The first message", she told, "informs about the location with the mobile GPS and the GSM about the location and the next message is sent as 'need help'. The device can also kept in off/on mode with a switch over it."


    Rimpi, the daughter of Awadesh Tiwari (Tripathi) and Shobha Tripathi of Gogamukh and a 2nd year B Tech student in Instrumentation and Control Engineering at Sri Ram Memorial University in Chennai told she was greatly perturbed by the news of the Delhi gang-rape in television and started to brood over it and thought where there was a problem there was a solution. Later when she reached her college from her home, one day she talked with her selected college mates till midnight over the issue. Then she took  the project SHE to work on it. She told that in the entire project she was assisted by two of her college mates- one is Niladri Basu Bal, a student of Instrumentation and Control Engineering and by Manisha Mohan, a student of Automobile Engineering. Rimpi told that they did a lot of hard works day and night to invent it now their effort had been recognised globally and they were awarded  several times by some distinguish institutions for the invention. In the interaction, she told that social problems were always identified but just few people bothered to solve . She urged the young generation to think over the solution of social issues as all were the part of the society. This IAS aspirant student told that she was still working on it for innovation.

Thawing permafrost is roiling the Arctic landscape, driven by a hidden world of changes beneath the surface as the climate warms Permafrost and ice wedges have built up over millennia in the Arctic. When they thaw, they destabilize the surrounding landscape. Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Mark J. Lara , University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Across the Arctic, strange things are happening to the landscape. Massive lakes, several square miles in size, have disappeared in the span of a few days. Hillsides slump. Ice-rich ground collapses, leaving the landscape wavy where it once was flat, and in some locations creating vast fields of large, sunken polygons. It’s evidence that permafrost, the long-frozen soil below the surface, is thawing. That’s bad news for the communities built above it – and for the global climate. As an ecologist , I study these dynamic landscape interactions and have been document...

Subansiri Lower HEP will be Started to Commission from December, 2024.

MONOJ GOGOI   The 2000 MW Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project which construction work is undergoing at Gerukamukh ( the project site) in the West Siang of Arunachal Pradesh and Dhemaji districts Assam will be commissioned by December 2024. This was recently revealed to the media by Rajeev Kumar Vishnoi, Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) Ltd. All the eight units, comprising 250 MW each will be commissioned by the end of 2024. This one is one of the major projects of NHPC Ltd and after completion it will add 4 percent to the total hydro power generation of India.  A file photo of the project site. Earlier several deadlines were set to complete the project but each time it failed for several reasons. If the project is finished by the end of 2024, it would take more than two decades in developing the project. Due to time overrun cost overrun also took place. The estimated cost of the project Rs 21,274....

Saving Assam's Communities: A Scientific Approach to Riverbank Erosion

MONOJ GOGOI   The riverbank erosion is one of the major problems in Assam. The riparian community in the Brahmaputra basin in Assam has been bearing the brunt of erosion for decades. They lose properties, houses, homestead land and agricultural lands to erosion. The riverbank erosion, sometimes, engulfs even an entire settlement or village and thus displaces thousands of people annually in the state. According to a report, the state has already lost more than 4.27 ha of land to the  erosion caused by the Brahmaputra and its tributaries. There is no any mantra or strategy to stop suddenly the increasing trend of the erosion but scientific studies like “Mapping riverbank erosion and assessing it's impact on socio-economy and livelihood of people in selected villages in Lakhimpur and Majuli district: A case study for sustainable policy intervention to improve disaster and climate resilience of vulnerable communities”, prepared by Partha J Das (lead author) and Arup Kr. Das (remot...
