[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485848382138","data":"A group of five students from Abhaya school headed by Ameer Khan-the high school coordinator, came up with an innovative idea of creating a watch - called V-Watch - for street vendors and for this, they won the second prize in National Innovation Challenge for Young Minds - Teenovators 2016 held at the Manipal University in Udupi. Out of 42 teams from Hyderabad this team stood first and moved on to the nationals on 21st January. The competition was held in six rounds, aptitude test, quiz, power point presentation followed by prototype presentation. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1485858580803","data":"5890674a77647"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485853377662","data":"The watch was designed for the unorganized vendors who end up in losses because they are unaware of few things and lack of facilities. The unique feature of this watch is it has a speech to voice converter to felicitate easy calculations of due amounts by recognizing the voice of the customer. It is also equipped with a bar code scanner, after the customers are done with shopping the final bill amount is sent directly to the mobile number of the vendor. \"We created this to address common problems that the street vendors face, one is that they have unorganized accounts and the other they have no fixed prices. In the process of bargaining, these vendors are left with very little profit margin, so both the features that we embedded in this watch will help them counter these problems.\" says Ameer Khan. The V-watch's most catchy feature is that it also provides for online payments after the shopping. <\/p>This project was initiated six months ago and they have been working on it since then and the primary agenda was to produce this with minimum cost.    <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485855038483","data":"This project is the baby of five students - Geethika Arcot, Sudhamsh Undavalli, Milind Agith, Shane Stanley (in their Class X) and Mustafa Najmi in (Class IX) along with their mentor Ameer Khan who says he selected these students not on the parameters of their marks but their genuine interest in science and innovation. The students also had a huge support from their parents, they had to work for extra hours where their parents helped them in arranging transport and provided them with required material. \"Amid examinations it was only because of there immense support that the students could stay back in school after usual hours to work on it,\" says Ameer Khan. The funding was provided by the organizers of  Teenovators. The team was assisted by Raunak who is a mentor appointed by the organising committee, Raunak is a entrepreneur who helped these students with the coding and programming.  <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1485858589676","data":"58906753e1c14"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485856445026","data":"Prior to this the students of Abhaya came up with a self-heating jacket with an inbuilt circuit, that would help in maintaining the temperature inside in response to weather. They qualified for the pre-finals last year. <\/p>The team is all set for the production of  this V-watch, since all of these students come from business families, with help from their parents they are heading to manufacturing this and the average cost of production would be close to 10000 rupees. They would also launch a marketing campaign where they would visit vendors and explain the perks of replacing a V-watch with their PoS machine. <\/p>"}]
