DAV Nandaraj Public School鈥檚 team developed 鈥淢adad鈥�, a sensor-based AI system that recognises ambulances on the road and regulates traffic signals to ensure faster emergency response. Their entry also earned formal recognition and funding for STEM learning initiatives.
Sebi Joseph, President of Otis India, commended the students, stating, 鈥淭heir intelligent use of AI and STEM not only addresses vital local challenges but also inspires the broader goal of building smarter, more accessible cities.鈥�
