low-cost device

Duo professors from IIT Mandi have developed an indigenous, low-cost, and feasible device that can detect landslides when deployed over mountains. The need for this device arose when over 46 people lost their lives in a landslide at Kotropi in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh in 2017. Dr. V K Uday and Dr. Varun Dutt, the two IIT professors headed the research work and developed the device.
