Techno India NJR Students Win Rs.1 lac Prize

Techno NJR students bring prestige to Udaipur once again by winning the 1st Runner-Up prize of Rs. 1 lakh in #OpenGovDataHack, a national level competition held in New Delhi on 31st October. The event was organized by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Law & Justice.

The prize to Techno NJR team was given by Hon’ble minister Sh. Ravi Shanker Prasad. First prize was won by the team from VIT and second Prize by Techno NJR team and third by IIT, Patna.

Techno NJR team consisting of Tathagat, Vedant, Bhavya, Mohit & Jeevika and mentored by Dr. Jitendra Shreemali created Datacop Platform using data available with National Crime Records Bureau.

What is Datacop Platform:

The Datacop platform is an attempt to empower the vulnerable sections of society through the use of technology. With increased attention on crimes against women, the team has presented a technology solution to prevent major crimes against women. Going forward this system can be used to prevent all weaker sections of the society, be these, women, older generation or children.

The analysis shows that coastal states have consistently witnessed the highest cases of immoral trafficking of women. Further, correlation analysis identifies the filling up of women SI equivalent rank vacancies as the best solution to the problem since the correlation between both these factors is close to 80%. Similarly, analysis of rape data provides insights into the profile of likely rapists as well as their family background.

As Udaipur is among the select smart cities, this can help make Udaipur a safer place for tourists as well as the residents. Successful deployment at Udaipur would enable other leading cities in the country to consider this as a potential solution to their crime-related challenges.

Another Internet Shutdown in Smart City Udaipur

In the book of internet shutdowns 2018 of Udaipur, another internet shutdown is going to take place tomorrow i.e. 7th October 2018. The time for the same is 9 am to 5 pm. The order was released by the office of the divisional commissioner on 5th October 2018.

You ask why? This time the reason for the shutdown is Deputy Inspector General of Police Recruitment examination 2018 which will be conducted on Sunday. Like always, the decision has been taken in order to prevent the leakage of the examination papers and mass copying during the examination. And so, the most convenient option from the administration’s end was to shut down the internet.

However, some questions that raise in every commoner’s mind is that ‘Is this the most effective solution to control cheating during the examination? Is there completely no alternate for the same? Before taking such measures, does the amount of loss faced by the citizens ever cross the administration’s mind? Is it necessary to ban the internet of the entire district rather than putting jammers on the examination spots?’

Picture by: Fouzia Mirza

A thing to note:

Within a period of 3 months, the city has faced internet shutdowns for 4 days. It seems like the city is facing internet bans at a frequency at which it faced power cuts earlier. At such rate, more shutdowns like such can be expected in the upcoming month.

During the period of this internet ban, the lease line services will remain unaffected.
