| 6 | Project Title : Fabrication of Portable and Cost-Efficient UV Torch “Prajjwal 1.0” for surface Disinfection
Expected Outcome : It is a UV based portable surface disinfectant, a low-intensity UV lamp will be placed at the focal point of a parabolic mirror which would result in a parallel beam of UV light. In order to be portable, the device will be battery powered and by virtue of the simplicity of design, it will be affordable, cheap, easily manufacture and economically feasible to be used widely in the country. Expected Timeline : Remarks : The outbreak of a global pandemic, COVID-19 has forced many challenges to mankind. Various measures have been taken to stop its spread. Social distancing, regular hand washing, etc have been advised to prevent its transmission. Countrywide lockdown is one of the major steps taken by the government of India to fight back COVID-19. Essential services like groceries, medicines, etc are necessary for sustenance. If a person is found to be affected with COVID-19, they have to be carefully treated and kept in isolation so that the health workers treating the person may not get affected. One of the root causes of the rapid spread of Corona virus has been due to transmission by surface. Countries like Italy and Spain has suffered a huge outbreak due to transmission through surfaces among other mediums of transmission. In the case of India, this outbreak can be devastatingly huge if not brought under control within this small timeframe. To counter this problem, i.e. contraction through surface transmission, a UV based portable surface disinfectant is hereby proposed.
