It was time for the final year engineering students of KCG College to showcase few of their inventions. It proved to be an exhibit filled with innovations and young talent. All the exhibits only showed of how interested the students of the college are in finding solutions scientifically to problems threatening individuals and the Nation!

Each group of students have been working on their projects for nearly 4 months, this also being a part of their curriculum.

The Railway crusader destined for safety proved to be an attention-grabbing invention. The project aims at eliminating train accidents. A false engine runs ahead the main train and sensors obstacles, bomb-on-tracks and other errors. They claim that this doesn't increase railway traffic.

"There is no chance of fail of communication between the false engine and the train' says Sayan Roy, the Team Leader. He also added that, "Even after detecting the obstacles if the engine driver is unable to stop the train then the false engine will bring the train to an emergency halt."

Underground cable fault detection robot aimed at minimizing the occupational hazards of human technicians. "The main advantage of this device is that the distance at which fault occurred can be measured exactly" says Sumathi Poobal, HOD of the ECE Department of the college.

There were also other devices such as prevention of misuse of stolen or lost debit/credit card; intelligent car security; dynamic traffic control system; GPS GSM Based vehicle tracking and controlling system.

It was quite an impressive and an innovative demonstration by the students. The institute sure seems to be encouraging their students in every way possible, for there is talent in every student but it is the duty of the Institution to cull out that!
