Odisha rural students to showcase innovative ideas at global summit in USA

1 2 Bhubaneswar: Eight rural high school students from Odisha will take part in the Global Junicorn and AI Summit 2025 on May 29-30 at Texas State University, USA. The students will present startup ideas, including a helium balloon satellite for agriculture , decentralised ethanol production in villages and an AI-powered spice blending system at the summit. Digbijay Sahu and Chiranjib Barik of Govt High School, Soro in Balasore district came up with a helium balloon satellite for agriculture. "Traditional satellite imaging is expensive and lacks precision. The helium balloon satellite captures high-resolution, real-time images of farmland, detects soil health, crop stress and water levels and sends actionable insights directly to farmers' mobile phones," Anil Pradhan, founder of Young Tinker Foundation which is mentoring the eight students, said. 'Rural Volt – Decentralized Ethanol Production in Villages' will be presented by Koushik Kar of Govt High School, Soro and Sridhar Jena of Govt High School, Berhampur. "Rural communities often rely on expensive and polluting fuels while agricultural waste goes unused. Transportation costs for fuel further burden village economies. To solve this, Rural Volt can establish small-scale ethanol production units directly in villages, enabling farmers to convert crop waste into clean, renewable fuel," Pradhan added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cinnamon: The Hidden Blood Sugar Enemy?
