Teacher comes to rescue kids falling in pits

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Administrator

Did you know Trivia - Children with a penchant for falling into deep bore-wells need not fear any longer: a teacher in Nellore in Andhra Pradesh invented an instrument/machine/contraption – whatever you want to call it, to put their rescue operation on the fast track.

Instead of spending half a day or 3/4ths of a day or even a full day in agony, they may now be able to come up in a matter of minutes.

Sharavan Kumar, the said teacher, has designed a flexible ring like instrument that can be easily lowered into the borewell. In his own words, “this entire equipment should be carefully dropped into the borewell where the child has fallen, as it is flexible it goes inside without much problem.

We can pull the child and equipment upwards``
