Context: The Bihar State Disaster Management Authority, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Patna, has introduced a novel pendant-shaped device named NITISH (Novel Initiative Technological Intervention for Safety of Humanlives).
The initiative was triggered by recurring deaths among farmers due to lightning and flash floods, emphasizing the device's role in saving lives.
The NITISH Device is introduced in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Patna.
It is designed to provide timely alerts for lightning, floods, heatwaves, and coldwaves, not earthquakes and tsunamis.
The device is connected to the Bihar Meteorological Service Centre, ensuring real-time and accurate weather-related alerts.
The NITISH device will sound an alert to its users half an hour before lightning or flooding.
The pendant will get charged from body heat. The device will sound an alert in three ways: it will send voice messages; its colour will change from green to red; and the device will keep warming till its user switches it off.
Considering the challenges faced by farmers, the device is waterproof, ensuring durability and functionality in various weather conditions.
Naming After Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Draws Sharp Reactions
While the NITISH device garners attention for its innovative disaster alert system, its nomenclature has stirred political controversy.
Critics question the choice of naming the device after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, labeling it as sycophancy.
The device, designed to address recurrent lightning and flood-related fatalities, has both political supporters defending it as Nitish's brainchild and detractors dismissing it as an unnecessary display of allegiance in the political landscape.
