Arun Kumar V, a PU II student at Government PU College, Kombettu in Puttur taluk, created the system using his knowledge from the IT stream under the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF), which he has been studying since Class 9. Inspired by his learning at the Atal Tinkering Lab innovation workspaces established in schools across India by the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), a flagship initiative of NITI Aayog, Arun spent three months designing and building the system with guidance from his IT teacher, Ashlesh Kumar.
