Odisha man’s innovation Bike will start only if Driver Wears Helmet
Jitendra Sahu from Odisha’s Angul district has developed a unique helmet without wearing which a rider cannot start his motorcycle. The helmet’s working principle is somewhat similar to that of a remote-controlled TV wherein a sensor in the helmet will help start the bike. Once a person puts on the helmet, the sensor present there comes in contact with the head, triggering it and subsequently, the bike.
Sahu received the President’s award for his innovation and Rs 50,000 cash award from the National Innovation Foundation. He is currently working on a hearing device for the deaf and mute.
