- In response to a call by Prime Minister for solutions to check the spread of the deadly Covid-19, the engineering students of Sona College of Technology, Salem and engineers of Vee Technologies, Bengaluru have created two apps.
- The first of these, ‘Corona-Scan’ proactively allows public health officials to map individuals who were in close proximity with a possibly infected or active Corona Virus patient.
- The second is a corresponding user app, ‘Corona-Support’ asks the public for their voluntary registration.
- If an individual tests positive a voluntary status update can be entered in the app, helping health authorities and experts tracking the spread of the virus get accurate information.
- The ‘Carona-Support’ app is intended to be of immense value to anyone wishing to protect the community from further spread.
- Students of the Thiagarajar Polytechnic College, a Sona group institution, built an energy efficient “e-bike Fuerza” that won the first prize in 2019 competition by AICTE.
