MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641026326 A) filed by Srm Valliammai Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 6, for 'development of a smart borewell child rescue system with integerated depth detection using arduino.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Karthik R; Reshman M; Sona J; Vijayalakshmi S; and Karthikeyan R.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Accidental falls of children into borewells are a big problem in many places. This project is about making a system to rescue children who fall into borewells using Arduino technology. The system has a way to measure how deep the child is inside the borewell. Sensors are used to check the depth. The conditions inside the borewell all the time. The people who rescue the child can get the information they need in time which helps them plan the rescue faster and safer. The system we are talking about makes rescue operations faster. Reduces the risk to the child. Overall this project gives us a way to rescue children from borewells that's not too expensive and works well. Children falling into borewells is a big safety concern, especially in rural areas. It often ends badly because the rescue teams take too long to get there and we do not have good systems to monitor what is happening. This project is about designing and making a Smart Borewell Child Rescue System that uses Arduino to make rescue operations faster, safer :and better. The system we made uses an Arduino microcontroller to process information. It has sensors to measure how deep the child is inside the borewell. We use a sensor to measure the depth in real time and a camera to see what is happening live. The system .also has sensors to check the temperature and the air inside the borewell so we can make sure the child is safe, during the rescue."
