Students develop innovative Water Bill App for farmers

 

 

In a brillinat example of industry-institution linkage, a group of college students have made an innovative Water Bill Recovery Application under the guidance of Irrigation Department. The App will help farmers in keeping tab of the amount of water they use, and getting the precise bill amount. Farmers often get incorrect bills for the water they use for irrigating their farms, and many a time they end up paying extra. Students of St Vincent Pallotti College of Engineering and Technology have developed this groundbreaking Water Bill Recovery App, that solves this problem. The App has been recognised by Pench Irrigation Department, Nagpur division. The department has also helped the students in developing this App.

 

Under the guidance of prominent industrial mentor, Pravin Zoad, a team of seven students, Nehal Kubade, Somesh Awchat, Samruddhi Raut, Shruti Gumaokar, Rudrani Palaskar, Vedant Muley, and Vaibhav Mehar, developed the Pench App. The App has revolutionise the process of water bill recovery through its on-line mode.
